Mine were waiting for me when I got home this weekend (along with my 50th anniversary collector boxes, hobby boxes, and blaster boxes!!). I'm almost wackied-out  ;D. Thanks again Patrick, you're the best.

today we have the release of the 'Event' set for the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
https://www.topps.com/shop-entertainment-brands/garbage-pail-kids/gpk-sets.html

since it's been a while since we've had one of these, just a reminder to Club members that these are *not* part of our club. You are on your own if you'd like to purchase.

Yes, but if you pay just a teensy, tiny $5.00 more you get 13 additional cards - for only thirty-eight cents per card!  What bargains and $avings to be had!  O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

(Or, sell the GPK set on eBay for $25.  That leaves the WP at $5 apiece.  Almost bulk prices.)


Postscript:  Anybody interested in a 13 card GPK 2017 Rock & Roll Hall of Lame set for $25?

Got the complete set.  How can you not when it's $5 more? You have to boycotting GPK to not get the full set.

You definitely had to see it to understand many of the gags. It was an HBO pay event, meant for hard-core fans of the bands being inducted. Anyway, HBO's going to re-air on their regular channel on April 29th for those that missed it.

Well that's good news!

Incidentally, Patrick, thanks for using the blue paint tape on our plastic boxes.  It hasn't gone unnoticed, and I appreciate it.

LOL. Thanks! Glad you noticed.
My absolute, biggest pet peeve when it comes to receiving cards in the mail, is having the top loaders, etc. ruined by using cellophane and/or invisible tape.

Increment 7 - week 1 underway

4 cards today, 11 card balance

Very reluctant purchase today - with some good discussion in the '24 hour' Thread regarding the appropriateness and quality of these 4 cards as 'Wacky Packages'.
All of these were produced by JungHwa Im. (if I'm not mistaken)
Her recent cards - like yesterday's Puma ad and the movie ticket - have become the lowest selling cards yet - at just 168.

Which means that our 20 card bulk buys yesterday were a noticable percentage of their sales!

Money talks, and I think we could send a strong signal to Topps that fans don't support her work or these half-baked ideas, if we chose at this point to stop buying cards done by her.
We would continue to buy the great pieces from Dave Gross, Neil Camera, Smokin' Joe, Joe Grossberg, Brent Engstrom, Joe Simko, et al. - showing that fans do support these Print on Demand cards - as long as they have the high quality artwork, with strong concepts, that the Wacky brand has been known for.

This would be a huge and surely controversial change to what we've been doing, but we reached the point today where it's clearly time for the Club to discuss the continued purchasing of cards done by JungHwa Im.
I'd like to hear what everyone has to say.

1  Donald's Easter Surprise Basket
2  Fuma Ad
3  Fan Down Ticket
4  Dump Steaks
5  DNC Inter-Office Memo
6  The Hate of the Furious
7  Grumpaldo Rivera

Increment 6 Week

I would like to skip those cards.  Yesterday, when I saw 4 of 4, I almost regretted joining the club, as I certainly would not have purchased them on my own.

Yep, would be too messy from a logistical point of view to be "voting" in or out each time new titles show up.

I certainly don't want to complicate what Patrick is doing for all of us, but I would be fine with a general policy to NOT include JungHwa Im titles, just as we are excluding some other items, such as the ones with no bulk discount.
