Wacky Packages Series 5 Postcards
« on: March 10, 2010, 01:53:09 PM »
Here's a thread to talk about the new postcard set.  I just received mine today (#216 of 250).  Without even trying, I somehow managed to avoid seeing all of the titles in this set before getting them.  These really look fantastic.  I think it's my favorite postcard set to date.  The printing is superb.

Got my two pockets sleeves today and put Series 1 - 5 Limited Postcards in them for proper display. Series Five is very well done. I got the Cat Sketch Card which is very nice.

When series 5 of the postcards were put up for sale, I went ahead and purchased the regular editions of series 2 through 5.  I must say that I am very pleased with these.  I like them all a lot.

Who were you on the other forum?  I love the Sue Mee Avatar you have.  If that is any indication of Oldschool2, it will be an amazing series.  I do love the series 5 post cards.

What is the best deal that people have found on the 2 pocket pages? I figured I better ask DrDEAL!

Not actually a 2 pocket BUT, if you'd be happy with 4 pocket pages Marchant carries BCW's stuff (and actually cheaper then buying directly from BCW lol)

http://www.marchantcards.com/cgi-bin/Cards/3872.html  4 sheets for $1.00

http://www.marchantcards.com/cgi-bin/Cards/3871.html 100 sheets for $15.00

From the description of the product:

Quote
(BCW - BASEBALL CARD WORLD) THESE SHEETS HOLD POSTCARD SIZE ITEMS APPROX. 3-1/2"X5-1/2". ARCHIVAL QUALITY, NO PVC, ACID FREE, PROVIDES UV PROTECTION, LAYS FLAT, SUPER STRONG, HIGHEST CLARITY, MADE IN THE U.S.A.

and just for S&G here's the info for the same item from the creator....

http://www.bcwsupplies.com/products/Postcard-pages-and-sleeves/Pro-4-Pocket-Page.htm

price for 4  = $1.04
price for 100 = $20.00

Got my postcards today. Very nice set! All the artists did a fabulous job as usual.

For those who might not have received them yet, I'll put my individual postcard comments/review in a spoiler thingie below:
[spoiler]
Stench Berries - Love how colorful this one is. The little stenchies are so cool - I love Wackys where the product themselves are little monster type creatures.

Klepto - Great color on this one too. Love the concept of the pink grabbing hand.

Wander - Funny concept. Love the Wonder logo color dots incorporated as toes in the Wander logo. The guy is too funny in his polka dot shorts! Oh and I love Mark's cartoon (color rough?) version also. Hope to see more of those in future sets.

Taco Bill - made me laugh! The combination of the duck (who looks very familiar by the way) and the gunk in the product's beak is great.

Tombs' - Love the packaging - the cello looks nice, as does the fine detailing of the caskets' wood grain.

Speed Lick - Love the cat! Funny Wacky.

Gaggin' - Another wild and colorful one. Like the play on "Purina" (pure-reflex) and it's logo.

Glad to see the small Wacky size versions of the postcards included in the set again.

I have the last one, #250.  Not as cool as #1 but kind of neat.  It's a Tombs.

I was originally hoping for a Speed Lick cat, but was very happy to get Dough Boy.

Anyone have an extra Speed Lick cat sketch to sell? I don't have another postcard sketch to trade though, as I only bought one LE set.

Nice job with the spoilers. I knew you guys would get the hang of this quick. The first day is like walking into a new school now you are starting to feel like Juniors and next week you will all have graduated.

It's natural instinct. If there is a button people will push it. Give your fellow forum members some credit  ::)

I assume you don't want to trade your Wander bread for Speedlick cat?

This was my screw up from my sketch cards that I am keeping. It was supposed to be Truant he was grabbing, but it was too sloppy so I didn't send it in as one of my 50.

Hey Matt, did you do any of your Klepto sketches that have the guy getting money pick-pocketed like on the postcard art or are they all unique items on the sketches?

 I did a few with Human characters, but none directly from the card. I wanted it to be a continuing story, and since his exploits of pick pocketing the guy on the card were already documented, I wanted to come up with 50 other scenarios.

Sorry Dr. Popper, that "Sound great" was a response to Neil about his other sketch.
