I have Two Collector Boxes on order. Really hoping to score a Medallion card. I hope I don't have to go to Ebay for one.

Excited here as well! Getting a case or two for the first time in my collecting life. Collecting sports cards for years and finally am diving into some WP.

I purchased the Collectors Edition cases...when I bought in on the presell I didn't quite know the difference. Now I'm wishing I would have purchased 1 of each (CE and Hobby). :-/

Let's not forget the retail bonus boxes and jumbo packs with the additional bonus stickers! I didn't buy any boxes or cases, but I can see me visiting eBay a lot to complete the Lost Wackys and other limited bonus stickers.

How do you guys typically manage your case openings? Do you open and then immediately sell what you don't need? Do you use this site to sell/trade...or do you use eBay?

Not cancelled. Just a running joke. And that joke is really tired because its been running so long.

Good question.
I figure it's just change for the sake of change.
Gpk's just started doing BNS 1,2,3, and now got pushed to 2014s, 2015s, etc.
I think Topps always wants to have a 'series 1', thinking people like to buy "firsts"

Wacky Packages 2014 Series 1 has shown up in Minnesota!!!  Someone has a few cards on eBay.  One of them is my gag for Vampire Diaries from the Terrible TV subset.  Check it out if you don't mind spoilers!

I also saw on ebay 1 from the Terrible TV subset and 1 from the Ridiculous Reads subsets, but not yet any from the base set.

Historically, what have been the toughest / most coveted cards to pull from Collectors Cases? Plates? Medallions?

Maybe from a Target toploader? Last time an ANS series was released, the retail stores were ahead of the ETA.

Patrick, I can tell you that I know of the at least 4 ridiculous reads gags that are pretty great.  So this one gag, that you don't like, is in no way representative of the sub-set.

I'll remain somewhat hopeful then.

I'll probably regret buying the retail case, but if I just go with collector boxes I won't have enough base sets to supply the comic store.  The last few ANS series I just bought a bunch of base sets from Leslie, but she really seems to have dropped out of Wackys.

I still have unsorted boxes of ANS7 from the case I bought from Lockwood......  I build two sets out of a box whenever the store runs out.
