NOT a dumb question! To clarify, the sale is this SATURDAY NIGHT at MIDNIGHT (EASTERN TIME). By the way, you're right: It is technically the 4th. But I'm sticking with the 3rd, since that's the day leading up to the midnight sale. And besides, it might get even more confusing if I were to change it now :) ...

We have to perform a lot of our server updates and maintenance at work at this hour on weekends in order to get the down time since we are a 7x24 operation. We started going with the convention of saying 11:59 pm Saturday since the midnight thing always seems to confuse some people. I guess I just always assumed midnight meant it was "attached" to the preceding day but, I can see where some people can argue that 12:00 am is the new day.   This is also one of the main reasons the time changes occur at 2:00 am rather than midnight.

Neil


3 regular cards, a bonus card and a sketch card. Plus, there's a surprise card in each pack.

Are there different surprise cards?  I know I will get three different sketches. What's the story on the surprise  card? Or is that a surprise????

Lastly,   Will you be up for Paypal Gift to save you money on PP fees? I would not have any issue sending payment that way. We are providing our address in the request so you will already have it. PP gift does not include the sender's address. Please advise. Thanks for a cool sale!

Hi Andrew,

Yep, I think it's best if the surprise cards remain a surprise :)

As for paypal, please purchase as merchandise as opposed to a gift. I'm no expert, but I'd guess that 30-40 gifts all at the same time would raise some eyebrows with paypal. I appreciate the thought anyway!

Hi Craig,

Good question! Sometimes, I forget that people can't read my mind ;) .

Here it is in a nutshell:

1) Forum members send me your request in a PM (Sale starts Saturday, Oct. 3 at Midnight (Eastern Time).
2) I will reply with a confirmation message with payment instructions.
3) Packs ship out  (October 24 or earlier)!

Complete details available in this thread: 2015 Halloween "Pack 'o Fun" Official Ordering Instructions

Neil

Just to clarify, if someone "jumps the gun" and orders at 11:58 pm (say), that won't qualify as an order at midnight....am I right?  It will need to be 12:00 am or later?

That's correct. I won't start accepting orders until the stroke of midnight (eastern)!

Just a thought for similar future endeavors....

If you're concerned that supply could run out before every eligible interested buyer gets one, you could start with everyone reserving one set only for a period of say 48 hours. After that time, if sets remain, you could allow anyone who wants to reserve another one, etc. This kind of process works well for things like group box breaks, and I think would work well here too. Doesn't sound like demand outstrips supply by too much, so shouldn't be a big deal....

Thanks for the suggestion. Yep, let's see how this set goes and then if/when there's another, I'll definitely consider all the options.

Thanks,
Neil

I agree. Neil deserves a standing ovation for this effort. Its not everyday that an artist will offer up a "low profit/ large effort/ labor of love" type release exclusively to forum members; during a year when Topps opts not to release anything to commemorate Halloween.

Neil Saved Halloween 2015.   

Thank you very much!    Andrew
