How could they not include wackies in the 80th wrapper set?  There will be at least one is my sense.

I would have to think they'd include one for sure.  I'd love to get the 10 by 14 (or whatever size).  There are actually a number of wrappers, both sport and non-sport that I would like to buy.  But $8 each (plus shipping, unless that's included) strikes me as pretty high unless it one I really wanted, like Wackys.

I keep checking the 80th Anniversary Wrapper Set every Tuesday, and still no Wacky.  "The Brady Bunch" wrapper is up this week, and that's a tough one to get for real, but it's kind of ugly.

Topps definitely saved the best for last - releasing the Wacky Packages red wrapper on the 38th and final week of the 80th year wrapper releases.

I'm planning to do the bulk buy of the Wacky Packages card in a day or so, but since it's been 6 months since I first brought up this idea, I want to double check with everyone.
My current (updated) list is below, for those that wanted this card.

If you've changed your mind, and want to jump off, let me know. Otherwise, I'll assume everyone is still good and buy accordingly.

And also, if you're not on the list, and want to jump in, let me know.

I'm expecting it to run $4.50 +$.75 for postage for one card in a basic envelope
(and $9.75 for two cards)

I must have blacked out on this one, you're doing a bulk buy of the whole set? 

Definitely count me in, if I'm not too late?

Thanks!

A couple 10 packs have been ordered to cover the bulk buy for the group.
it'll probably be two weeks before I receive them and can ship them out.

resurrecting this thread of old, from the gory days of daily wacky cards...

the recent announcement of weekly doses of Wackys had me thinking of bulk buying again, and wondering if it could be done.
Taking the recent GPK releases for examples though, they mostly have no bulk discount at all.
But some have had a 10% discount - the GPK weekly holiday sets, which I think are the direct comparator here.

Examining this best case of a 10% discount, a bulk buying plan is just not worth it for single set buyers. A set is probably going to be $14.99, so even if four weeks of cards were accumulated, the total savings still ($6 in this example) would barely break the cost postage. Better off just buying them direct with free postage.

The bulk buy savings is almost worth the effort though if everyone that was buying was getting multiple sets (2, 3 or more). Of course, everyone would have to wait weeks before getting cards for the maximum benefit, so there is that too.

Just some ruminating on my part.

The gory days HaHa!

  I, for one, don't mind waiting, if it helps the greater good. I would also commit to 2 sets.
