They wanted $45 for just 2 day shipping. I don't need posters that bad. Now if there were sketches in there......

A set has already shown up on ebay. I think $95 is a bit much for a set of posters though. He also has the promo cards.

I got my boxes today and was able to compile a complete set of 24 opening just 2 boxes. The 6 that I did not get in the first box were the middle six packs in a row in the second box. What is the special poster? Btw, the promo cards are not in the box; they are separate.

I like the paper. (glossy) Since they are so large some look more like paintings than others. The pack material is the same as the Old School packs. I do not wish to give too much away, but one poster looks different than the others. They fit perfectly in the Itoya 13x 19 art portfolios.

Can we assume that the first run had all of the inserts (i.e.- art coupons), or will Topps integrate them into the 2nd run as well?

my take is that there is only 1 run.  it's just that topps didn't receive the entire order at once and has temporarily stopped selling boxes until they get them.
with only 3 pieces of art, those inserts won't stretch very far

Got my shipment at 7:15 PM here in NJ.  Did not complete a set of 24 posters untill near the end of box #3.
Nice quality on the posters, Promo Cards , wrappers and boxes. No poster variant. Poster #6 has a color background while the rest have a white backround. I received two #6's which are both the same so I don't think there is a regular white background version. Nice set.

Thanks Topps,   DrDeal

Also got mine today. Got all but #6 in my first two boxes. Got one in my third, so I'm complete. Paper is quite heavy stock, they're folded into 9ths (3x3) so the folded up size is about 4x6. I didn't measure them, but I'd say the sealed packs are 5x7, as was assumed. My keepers are already in an art profolio and like Demented said, they fit great in a 13 x 19. I'm not wild about most of the titles, but it's a cool variation from stickers, postcards, etc.

I just checked my UPS tracking number and mine were delivered this morning (Thursday). They will have to be lonesome until I get there this evening. We live out in the country and our dog (sheltie sized)  is outside all day loose. When she was a pup, she liked to take small packages from the front porch and leave them on the back porch. She wouldn't chew them but just liked them back there better apparently. Then there was the time we came home and found a racoon ripping into a box that contained a Pepperidge Farm food basket like item a relative sent.  "Green Acres is the place to be... "

1 run. All art coupons will be evenly distributed.

I got my Wacky Packages poster box with the Killson card.
Killson spoofs Wilson's baseball glove.

I am saving 10 poster packs for the trick or treaters.

My guess is there are 24 pieces of original art. Topps had the original 1973-1974 wacky posters repainted to fit the dimensions of poster size or some other reason and I have a feeling that all of these 2012 wacky posters are new artwork repainted as well (not just the three new titles).

I still don't know what the print run for this series is.
