Hello Wacky Binder Fans,

The 2nd set of Wacky Binders will go on sale tomorrow (Thursday) 11:00 am eastern time.  Also, each order contains a free gift and you get free shipping.

UPDATE: There is a Limit of TWO per person/per household (please note this is a correction from an earlier post that stated ONE per person/per household).

Also, I've been told to ensure the smoothest transaction, limit your order to just the new wacky binders. Orders start shipping on Friday, 7/26/13 by Fedex Ground (with tracking).

ENJOY!
Neil

UPDATE: BINDERS ARE NOW AVAILABLE:

If anyone still has the 20% code from signing up for newsletters, it does work for the binders!

Well, you can probably get better use out of it for a large Old School order, right?

True, but I don't know when that code expires and/or when OLDS5 is being released.

Got my order in, checked out, but instead of getting confirmation it kicked me back to check out three times then after twenty minutes of frustration called and was told said item was sold out...what a crock!!!!
Topps told me no confirmation no order...perhaps somebody would be willing to trade for a series one?

I can't believe these completely sold out that fast.  With the first set, after about a week Topps lifted the limit, and even then it took a day or so more to sell out, as I recall.

Never even thought that being home at the right time was a requirement to get these yesterday, like with the limited edition postcards, and others probably figured they at least had until the evening to order.  If they are truly sold out there are likely going to be a number of pissed off people who invested in the first set, and are now stuck.  Even if you trade for a series 2 set now, you may not be eligible for the series 17 binder......

Hopefully this is a temporary "out of stock" situation, like what happened with the Postcard Series 9 regular set.

Yes, I just ordered mine and it went through without a problem.
Still looking for Series 17

I checked also. Seems there are 82 left after I just placed my order. I was a little hesitant to pull the trigger this time, and ended up purchasing 1 instead of 2. Since there is no limit on the ordering this time, you can check the remaining quantity by adding them to your cart.

Perhaps there were some initial orders that were over the limit of 2 units, and there was a lag between when they were placed into the system and when Topps cancelled them out, thus releasing them back onto the site.

I just tried to see the qty left using the shipping cart, and now the 2 set maximum seems to have been put into effect.

I find it interesting that people have been complaining recently about too much new stuff to collect, the high cost of the stuff, poor customer service, etc.  Yet the stuff keeps selling out. No wonder Topps keeps sticking it to Wacky collectors. They'd be crazy to stop now.  At the end of the day, all Topps really needs to do is throw in a sketch card or an image of an original series character to get their money.  They can sell just about anything using this formula.

Orders start shipping on Friday, 7/26/13 by Fedex Ground (with tracking).

Has anyone received a shipping notification or even an indication from your Topps account that the binders were shipped yesterday?  My Topps account still show these as processing...

The last time I ordered postcards the website still showed "processing" on the same day the package arrived, so I don't know if that really means much until it's actually delivered.

I received a shipping notification this morning, but there's no tracking info yet.  I suspect these didn't ship Friday as we were told.

I totally agree with you. Are there any current products that do not contain a sketch? I'm still disappointed that they got rid of the regular edition postcards by adding a sketch and jacking the price up by $30.

Personaly I liked the "For The Birds" sets, but then I'm kind of into the sketch cards.  If you just want the regular postcard set, it's easy enough to pick up on ebay.  They're out there right now for $6.99, so they certainly obtainable.
