I hope the news is that they aren't coming out anytime soon. we've got ANS10 coming in a month
May or June release is fine by me.

I think Patrick's right. Let's digest ANS10 first...

As large and complicated as ANS 10 is it may take a while to digest....... $:-\$

That has to be a mistake. I bet the person on the phone got mixed up or there was miscommunication somewhere in there.

I specifcally asked if there would be a limited and non limited PC set and he did not know that; just that the next PC set was due 3/13.

He said they had no info on ANS10.

Maybe some Wacky Postcards Series 9 orders could include a special ANS10 Wacky Packages preview card.

Daryl has a lot of ideas but none will take. It's great to have ideas but you have to follow Topps to really understand them. PC Cards have never advertised any other series. OLDS hasn't except for the next OLDS series.

I think you are correct. These guys are total knuckleheads. They can't put both together. Typical corporation bullshit.

Didn't the Green Old School 3 boxes advertise Topps' Legacy Mars Attacks series on a side panel or am I getting a dab senile in my old age. Wait, I think that was the Wacky Packs series one poster boxes

I actually remember pulling this one back in the day. Classic Wacky: few words, crisp art. Love it.

Spoke to Topps again today. Info on PC 9 on 3/13 was in error. ANS10 is the only product releasing that day.
Sorry for the bad info. Source got mixed up. No set date as on now for PC9.

Thanks for the update Andrew. That seems to make a little more business sense.

Now I bet Postcards Series 9 will get released by this Summer 2013, possibly at the same time as the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con which Topps never takes part in it anymore.

I'm hoping Topps doesn't do anything extreme to change the Postcard series, like they've done with ANS10. I would hate to be ambivalent about a new postcard set release.......

too late, the PC's are already there.

I would argue it's the PC's that brought us to having two versions of ANS10, by offering those 'collector edition' postcard sets with the sketches, autographs, alternate bonus cards, etc. - that all sell out within hours or days, as well as the standard postcard sets. It's worked for the PC's, so why not try it with ANS?
And the PC's keep evolving too, like with the last Halloween set - shaped cards and even different versions of the same base card.
I say expect more of the same from both series.

Joe G. · « **Reply #29 on:** March 09, 2013, 11:53:44 AM »

Sure Topps is mixing it up but I'm jazzed just to keep being able to get new series. Regardless of what they add you can still just collect base stickers if your a Wacky purist. Since 2004 we've had 9 uninterrupted years of Wackys and that's pretty awesome.

I know what you mean, but at least there aren't 1:3000 odds for insert sets of 10 titles, and they seem to have finally gotten the point that the set purchase limit should correlate with being able to get as many bio cards as are produced. The worst thing they did was the PCM cards that required purchase of 2 regular sets for one PCM card, forcing a purchase of 6 PC series 7 sets to get one of each. And they seem to have backed off that extreme.

What has me most most irked about ANS10 is the Lost Wackys - having to order $1,500 worth of cards to get three unique titles is unacceptable, at least in my book.

I agree Pat. On one hand I'm excited to open ANS10 packs, but on the other hand I'm already frustrated that I have zero chance to put all of the subsets together, and there will be a bunch with this series that will be realistically uncollectable. At least with the postcard series you could get one of everything without breaking the bank.

Thanks Neil for helping to keep it real. It's disheartening, as a life time Wacky collector, to see ANS10 chase items looking so unattainable
