Nice to see 6 Bio cards and not 8 since we will prob have a 3 set limit and you get two per pack.

How shortly after will the standard edition sets be listed? Would like to make one order to save on shipping before the LE sets sell out.

Free shipping with orders over $100 is the standard offer.

Just found out that Topps moved their warehouse to Massachusetts and switched carriers to FEDEX Ground.  Not sure how this will affect shipments.

Sounds like good news for the upper right-coasters but not sure we will see much of an impact here in the midwest.

I think these will sell out rapidly as they did 999 on the PC8 and 350 on this run. I hope they do the Mini Postcards again with multiple purchases of Regular Edition sets,. They were cool.

I'm kinda curious about the Collectors "Stamp Book". Says 8 new designs. If that is 8 individual then people will need to trade or buy to complete this "sub-set".

Will there be any incentive to purchase multiple reg sets or just buy the one and were done?

can you tell us more about this item in the Regular Set?

3 sketches, so 3 regular sets need to be purchased if you "want them all"

They're completely different from the Limited Edition sketches: the LE sketches are drawn on the heavy card stock you're familiar with.  The regular edition are peel off stickers! Imagine an original series wacky (with black border) but in place of the product, there's a hand-drawn sketch!

Dammit! My situation has changed since previous releases. I will be in class all day tommorrow and will miss out on the noon release time. I am sure that 350 run will be gone by the time I get home at 6pm. Guess I can pick up a set w/out sketch after the fact on ebay. It looks and sounds like a cool set. I like the color scheme.

At first I thought what the heck is Patrick talking about. Then I went back up to Neil's first post and realize he added mor info. I thought I was losing my mind...LOL

LE as Neil explained above in his first post.

Just got word that the set limit is 3 per household/credit card.

Does the limit apply only to the LE sets, or all sets?  In other words, can we buy 3 LE sets plus 3 regular sets in the same order, or is it 3 total of both types?

Hey Neil, is that 3 per household limit for both the Limited and Regular releases this time because of the sketch cards?

The Sketch stickers are definitely a variable!  Hopefully they will be like the early postcards, and all alike.  We also have not see prices, have we?

that sounds like what Neil posted - just 3 designs are being sketched. kind of like PC1 that only had the 3 sketch images.

3 designs but I wouldn't be surprised if there was multiple artists doing each design.

What was the price last time for the LE sets? I might just get one set this time because I have feeling the regular sets will cost more now because of the sketch stickers.

Maybe they mean 3 border designs kind of like ANS10 shaped sketches?

So are the postcards themselves the same in both sets, aside from the LE ones being signed?  Or are they different artwork entirely?

the art has always been the exactly same - except for the case of the plain/peanut M&M difference in the last Halloween set
