ANS 11 Spoilers

and the Collector boxes with a very familiar face on the front

Looks like the buybacks are die-cuts. This series looks like a total mess. I hope I'm wrong. Look at Topps marketing. It showing ANS10 packs and ANS10 artists autos. It feels really rushed if their marketing has anything to do with it.

I'm also wondering if Topps upped the production of collector cases?

The more I look over this sheet the more confused I am. It looks like the golds and cloth will have both back variations. No idea of collector boxes ratios but they do list the hobby boxes. I'm still sticking with Topps upping the collector case production. That is probably why they are cheaper and more plentiful. I guess we'll see soon. This has taken over-production to the new level. I think a lot of collectors will be pissed.

Why on the day these come out ; do you quote the marketing sheet which we have had for three months and ponder all these negative points?

Why not wait till your cases arrive, open them and then see how you feel when you encounter the actual cards?  Its still a great day when a new Retail release hits. I always think back to the "Dead period" when no new Wacky's were made and we were just hoping the hobby would again be supported by Topps.  I hope I get my Collector boxes today.

Andrew, Sorry, but this is the first time I have seen this sheet. Did someone post it on the forum already? I saw the post from Patrick that showed one page. People are wondering why the collector cases are cheaper this round and now I think it's due to higher production. ANS10 were a lot tougher for dealers to get after pre-sales. I hope I'm wrong though.

I don't think I'm being negative. I'm actually excited to see these cards. Once I see them I can then be negative...LOL

I hear ya!! We spend enough on this stuff - we have every right to be critical of Topps and their misguided marketing!!!

A preview of some of my ANS11 sketches...

[Sunstroke]

nice stuff! 

Here are some of my random sketches that can be pulled from packs

[koduck]

awesome! Can I have them all?!

[BumChex]

Guys the patches are absolutely amazing. I just pulled my first one out of 3 cases. when I grabbed the pack I thought what the heck is the deal here and sure enough it's a patch. It's about as thick as 5 cards and must be really tough to pull. I wonder how many they did?

[BumChex]

another observation is the red sets are going to be tougher to put together than canvas since the coming distractions and food cards also have red border. I have 2:1 ratio for base. Plus you throw in the different backings and you have a mess.

[bwing]

Can anyone tell me if there will be Bonus Boxes? 

With the past few sets they seem to have been only at Target.

Any info would be appreciated.

[ScaryLee]

Can anyone post the odds that are listed on the packs?

[Jean Nutty]

Wow, lots of great sketches posted by the artists today!

I also like how the original titles are on all of of them.

This is an iron-on patch?

[Alexeirex]

There seems to be a theme on the yellow artist's sketches shown so far -
Faces, faces, faces! Ready for your close-up? 
Any pics of pencil sketches yet?
My boxes coming in next week....

[RawGoo]

What I find notable is that they're including Old School and postcard titles.

Not sure I care for the yellow border, at least with the yellow logo.

[BumChex]

Here are the odds

[Swiski]

Here are the odds

Something about the odds printed on the wrapper don't make sense. Bonus stickers - 1:14 packs? That's almost two per box! I thought they were 1 per box.

there's only 14 packs in a collector box

So how much do we feel these patches will sell for? I am hoping to score 1 out of 4 collector boxes. If I don't I will buy one.

If they are about 1 per two cases they will sell for $40 - 70 IMO.

[RawGoo]

So, all you pack crackers out there - are there any outstanding titles?

[snoopy351]

patches are stunning!
very pleased so far.
confused though on the A/B thing - i can't tell whether they actually did this or not - it looks like 55 cards to me.

[wackydustin]

Here's a sampling of my black and white and color ANS11 sketch cards, I really enjoyed working on them!

[BumChex]

I didn't get a lost wacky in every case. I still don't have an L3. I have a few L2's though. Damn!
Overall I think this is a better series than ANS10

[ScaryLee]

Here are the odds

Thanks Brad!!

[BustedFinger]

Wow - Hard to believe it has been almost 15 years!

[Fanatical_and_Sickly]

so the Die Cut base set parallels have disappeared?

[BumChex]

Thanks Brad!!

I'm too tired from ripping open packs to figure out the number of cases so you should tackle it.
What I have found:
1. Cloth are tougher to get.
2. Printing plates are also tougher.
3. The patches are really tough.
4. Sketches are plentiful. Its funny because I was actually bummed when I pulled a sketch because I want the other bonus stuff. I want a patch in every case.
5. Not sure how many patches there are. I'm assuming 6 because that's all that has shown up.
6. I think there are only 2 different comedian cards.
7. There are golds for the subsets.

I haven't compared the backs yet to see how tough it will be to put a 110 base set together.

These look great! Love the clean bold look.

All the sketches posted today look to be very high quality. Thanks for posting guys, these are great fun to see. I especially liked Matthew's Wormy confessing to be a caterpillar, very Parisian.

[Fanatical_and_Sickly]

5. Not sure how many patches there are. I'm assuming 3 because that's all that has shown up.

wrapper odds claim there is a 'rare' patch as well?

[BumChex]

so the Die Cut base set parallels have disappeared?

Not exactly sure what you mean. I'm kind of bummed that the die cuts are numbered on the front.

I did get a spray nit buyback. I'll post a scan tomorrow.

I just wasn't seeing any mention of the die cut version parallels. thought maybe they didn't happen.

[BumChex]

Oh, I thought you were saying there was supposed to be a special parallel of die cuts other than the regular base. There is so much to sort now that any more subsets could put me over the edge...LOL
I don't know if I will even bother buying a blue and silver set. I have enough variations.
