Sorry I have not been on here more but I'm very busy with OLDS4 and lots of life stuff.
Would like to hear opinions on the series concerning the structure. How do people like the Lud, tan, whites, what did you think of the chase cards, the art, gags, etc. Working on the plans for OLDS4 now.
I liked the concepts that were introduced but, as somebody who is only able to afford to buy one box, I think Topps should keep in mind that, because this product is only sold by the box through their ToppsOnline store, that it shouldn't be treated like the products which are made available in more locations and sold as single packs, boxes, bonus boxes, etc.
I do want to thank Brad for his willingness to send me the remaining stickers I needed to finish the tan base set, but it would have been nice for me to be able to put together one tan base set out of the box. Don't get me wrong, I understand that trading is always an option, but I think putting at least one tan base set from a box isn't something that should be too objectionable, as there are still opportunities for trading with the parallels and such.
I will add that I miss the jumbo stickers that were part of the previous two series and would like to see them return.
As far as the titles themselves go, they have been great... I can't think of one title I felt shouldn't have been included, which I think says a lot for everyone who works on the Old School series. And getting the sketch card in every box continues to be a nice treat.
Would be nice to see some of the products for which ideas have been rejected, make it into future series, though. And I believe Dave mentioned something about late 1970s and early 1980s products being parodied, which I think is a good idea. I can think of quite a few products that came out on the tail end of the original Wacky series and/or when the reissues came out, and that was the time frame when I was doing my own homemades. Wouldn't mind seeing some of those products get the Wacky treatment.
