First post that's been made on that site in over 2 years!!!
What a crazy idea - promoting their products via social media!

Beautiful card! But you know what it is not? A WACKY PACKAGE! Its a spoof card, not a wacky...and still not worth $10. Not being in the club means full price, and being in the club means paying for some of those "horrible" ones. So I guess its just pictures from the internet for me.

The club now has two levels. One does not include the "horrible" cards. Just the "good" ones.

The only openings currently are for the 'Premier' club spots - for all the cards.
On the other hand, the last 3 weeks has been mostly 'good' cards, so there's been little difference between 'Premier' and 'Economy'.

if there were at least 5 interested, we might be able to work something

I like the gag - don't love the art

Fanatical_and_Sickly · « **Reply #747 on:** June 01, 2017, 11:38:08 AM »

2 new ones today.

also a Neil Botz piece

fascinating that they've resurected both the Alt Facts and the Twitster lines today. Both appeared to have been shut down at the same time as First 100 Days.
Twitster was a given though, after the covfefe incident.

BOTZ - Neil Camera
IVANKA’S BOOZE-CICLES - JungHwa Im (concept Chad Scheres)

Scheres · « **Reply #748 on:** June 01, 2017, 11:43:06 AM »

Boozecicles is my very first approved Gag! Not sure who did the art. I was told I'm not ready yet to do final art. But I did the gag!

bwing · « **Reply #749 on:** June 01, 2017, 11:49:07 AM »

Scheres - great gag!!

Didn't see the Botz one up until now - that's a good one!!!

Scheres · « **Reply #750 on:** June 01, 2017, 11:51:31 AM »

Michael Barnard did the Covfee riddler.

You were told that you are not ready yet to do the final art? Really?

So, this gets the stamp of approval...

But this is what? Chopped liver?

Again, this just goes to show what kind of lousy bulls--- is still going on.

Scheres · « **Reply #752 on:** June 05, 2017, 08:36:29 AM »

Yea, I just haven't been around long enough to do final art for an official Online or retail set. I'm working on my painting skills and it is my goal to do final art soon. I was told that my Slop Loaders art was fine for the limited set since I was an Attending guest artist. .

Congratulations!

But for your sake, my sake, and everyone's sake, I'm hoping that it is an artist who doesn't mind spending time and taking great care.

A Wacky Packages take on a Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus show program would have looked great as a Wacky Packages Old School entry.

Two titles today - both cereals

Covfefe Flakes - Matthew Kirscht

How is it that a show program is a package? I say stick to packages for Wacky Packages!

Finally, A little love for the WPs from Topps this week. I was expecting a "covfefe" related title. I do like the MOWIN' ROWAN GPK card today.

The only parody I have a problem this week is the Lace Me Up Shorts. Not because of the parody or quality of artwork...but that font in all caps!!! That's typographically disturbing!

I was wondering (and worrying) when we might be assaulted by a sudden deluge of Comey cards. Like you said, "Whew!"
