I just bought 2 collector and 2 hobby boxes from Blowout. All I really care about is a base set, a few color variants as examples and a nice sketch or two.

Am I the only one who's still confused about what exactly is included in this set and what sort of boxes one needs to buy to get the complete set? I won't be pursuing a master set or even close to it, but I'd like to plan out what makes the most sense for me to get the most bang for my buck. Maybe I'm just too distracted by other things in life or perhaps it's that this series seems to be even more complex than previous ones.
Im with you brother, its been one big Topps mystery on this one. I thought we would get so much more announcement and visuals.

I really don't see this set as any different than the last set or two. Whatever you did for those, do that again.Same stuff, different year: Collector boxes, sketches, autographs, different colored borders, yadda yadda yadda
Try reading thru thisIf you need more visuals, try this.
Thanks! I haven't seen any info about bonus boxes. Anyone know what to expect in those? I often find they are a pretty good value.
Bonus boxes look like a good deal again, even better than the chrome boxes.5 packs + 1 Bonus pack per box.Bonus pack contains 5 Best of the '80s stickers.Plus, the bonus boxes are supposed to be the only ones with the 4-panel puzzle sketches.
Maybe I missed it but no one actually knows when the 50th anniversary date really is, correct? Isn't it true that Topps does not have records of when the Diecuts first debuted to the public?
I recall this being mentioned years ago - we can probably go by the trademark filing through the Patent and Trademark Office. This indicates first use on July 28, 1967 and then first use in commerce on August 4, 1967. Consecutive Fridays that summer.Word Mark WACKY PACKAGESGoods and Services IC 030. US 046.

Steve, I agree and can't wait for the Anniversary set to come out! This is the big Wacky set for the year and will be a blast! I hope my local Target gets a ton as it's always cool to see Wackys in the wild. [/quoteTarget is my choice of spotting Wackies in the wild too! A
I got OVERLY excited when I heard, but DACardWorld still shows a 3/29 release date...... Friday Arrival can NOT arrive quick enough!!!!!
Weren't the dates originally 3/15?
Wackys usually hit Targets starting on Mondays. It just depends when they stock the aisle from the Excell Cases. I hunt down the cases on Monday and ask to crack them to obtain unmolested product.
By Monday do you mean tomorrow, or next Monday? (The 3rd of April)
