Wow!  I'm definitely going to have to pick up at least a base set.  If a box will yield a base set, that might be the way I go, so I can have a little fun with it.

This does look interesting. I'm generally just a fan of Wackys but I seemed to get pulled into some of these cool new releases. I think it would be fun to open a couple boxes to see these old reproductions and get a couple PSA4 buybacks.

[Fanatical_and_Sickly]

and get a couple PSA4 buybacks.

LOL
and actually stamped this time too.

For something special like this, Topps better use the best resource material for all the card images. Hopefully they won't just scan a printed base card and reproduce it smaller on the face of the card.

[Plastered Peanut]

 This does look cool!   I hope Topps keeps the price per pack below 25 bucks.

This does look rather interesting.

Anybody want to hazard a guess as to which Wacky title will be in this set? I say Bone Ami.   LOL

nice guess. 

I'm betting it's Gadzooka

[RawGoo]

Gadzooka sounds like a logical choice.  Since you've got that one, I'll say Wormy Packages.

I'll go out on a limb and say Band-aches.

[bigtomi]

Gadzooka

Wormy Packages

I kid you not when I say that these were the ones that came to my mind first. They both make sense. Bone Ami was more humorous, though.

Maybe Ajerx? Weakies? Quacker Oats? I'd think something from series 1 or 2, probably. Guess we'll find out in a few months.

[dth1971]

When will Previews have pre-orders for this? Maybe in August or September?

most likely September

there's now a checklist showing up. looks like Wacky's are card #46.
all the sets are listed in order of release, so it seems like it should be a die-cut,
and the image on the box (and wrapper) is Gadzooka, so that's most likely the one

some good signatures in the set as well.

Looks like a set I'm going to want to have, but I doubt I'll pony up $85 for a box unless there's a guarantee of getting all 116 cards in a single box (I'm considering the 8 minis and 8 test cards as part of the set).  Looks like out of the 192 cards in a box, 28 are guaranteed autographs and rainbow foils, leaving 168 other cards.  Can't tell the odds for the minis and test cards.....

thx Dude!! I was just going to ask that...will do!!

I think I might be looking forward to this set as much as ANS11.  Probably an exaggeration but not by much.  And that's both a statement that I think this sounds like a really nice set and my enthusiasm for ANS is waning.  Of course, I wish there was more than one Wacky represented in this set, but so it goes.  I'll be curious what the price for a box is as I think I'll pick one up.  The review said it was aimed at the low to mid-end entertainment card collector, so I'm assuming the price won't be as outrageous as so many cards are these days.

Dude I think its going for $85/box...lots to get but not CHEAPIOS!!!

Have a case coming, probably going to sell boxes but might have to keep a box or 2 for myself.  Looks like a fun rip!

So just send an email to them and they will provide a discount checkout code or something?  I'm interested in getting a box of this 75th anniv.  What is the email to use?  Thanks in advance, David.

I think they are more into selling cases than one box but go to the top thread. It's a sticky regarding Blowout Cards.

I finally scored the Diamond Sparkle 1/75 Gadzooka Card. I thought these would not be too hard to acquire ; but I was incorrect. It seems the WP and GPK along with Star Wars were the most desirable chase cards in the set and continue to pull good money. Nice to finally have one coming almost two years after they were released.

Please post a scan when it arrives.

Sorry, Andrew, to steal your thunder, but I've had one of these for many moons. Won it on ebay around Christmas of 2013 for under $20. Glad you finally picked one up, they ARE rare...and cool. I keep mine (along with the regular and foil versions) right with my keeper original Series 1 set.

Congrats on getting your so cheaply. I got outbid alot when they were first released. Nice to finally get one.....  even though it cost a ton.

Now you've got me interested in the set! A

[DrDeal]

Do anyone have the 1/10 made glossy version?  THAT is the tough version. Not such a cool looking card, but seriously rare!
