WACKY PACKAGE POSTCARDS SERIES 9 - ON SALE TOMORROW (TUES., JUNE 25)!!!

[BumChex]

So we are looking at about another hour to order. I wonder if Topps doesn't have them up at 12PM if we will have a forum overload

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

The 3 set limit only applies to the Limited Edition postcards

[koduck]

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

Correct: 3 different sticker designs with different sketches by multiple artists.

[Tic_Toc]

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!

So... is it truly a one-of-a-kind hand drawn sketch on sticker paper, or is it a printed sticker that represents a sketch?  I'm confused on why this would not also be limited edition if it's a true sketch. 

[koduck]

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

Both sets feature the same base titles.

By the way, the sticker sketch cards in the regular sets are hand drawn (not printed).

TIP OF THE DAY:

Mike Jaspersen @ Topps recommends that customers interested in ordering postcards today include ONLY postcards in their order. Adding other items (such as binders, etc) to your order may delay your shipment for up to 10 days.

HAVE A WACKY DAY!

One on hand it’s an actual sketch, but since there are three designs, all of the sketch stickers will look similar to one of the three designs. Of all the combinations and permutations Topps comes up with, I didn’t anticipate this one. It seems like there will be some slight differences in the sketches though, since robots didn't draw them. But please nobody call them variations or else I might keel over.
 
Money is tight right now for me, so my question for today is, do I buy a LE PC set or just get a regular PC set and wait until next week and order a custom AOD sketch

7mins... you were lucky! It took me almost 15 to get through the steps.     I went with 3 LE sets and 1 "The Birds" Edition.

Make sure you get a confirmation this time. I got an email even before the site was done downloading to tell me my order went through.

[JasonLiebig]

Indeed it was slow-dial-up slow...

I ordered 3 LE and one regular set.

My @!@#$% anti-virus starts running at noon so I am not even going to try to order anything yet.....

I got 3 different emails from Topps. One with updated bonus points, one order confirmation and one additional.  And double and triple checked my orders status through the website.

Pause it.

[View Monster]

Pause it.

I can't do anything to it, it's on my work computer, they have it set to run at noon and my POS computer can barely operate while it runs.....

[Shrunken Donuts]

It pains me to do so but I think I'm sitting this one out.  Topps has simply released too much to collect in recent years.  Its gotten way out of hand.
