My 2 sets: 06 total red ludlow (1 double - Shanka)
                12 total black ludlow (all different)
                12 total tan backs (all different)
                30 total pencil cards (15 double)  :sad:

The doubles on the pencil sketches were what we asked to avoid. That is too bad our request went nowhere. I have two sets coming. If they both have the same pencils then maybe we can trade to make this right. If both sets had the same 15 pencils then they probably only did two sorts of them for the sets.

Great news for you. Mine still shows label created, nothing in the system. Maybe they shipped it and the system isn't showing that??

Did they give you a tracking number?  Try FedEx.

Great tip. Yes its in Fed Ex. Funny part is it went from Orlando to LEWISBERRY, PA and is now scheduled to reach my by end of day on Thurs 12/21.

Hopefully that changes but PA to NJ via Fed Ex should not take 5 days IMO.

FedEx says my package was delivered by the USPS at 7am this morning.  Unfortunately, due to snow, I am at my mother's house, so I have to get dug out and get home.  AAARRRGGGHHH!!

I think that may be "Smart Post" but I'm not sure.  Hoping to get home by noonish, and that Topps used good plastic cases, as I'm sure my stoop is covered in snow.

Yep, that's the smart post option. FedEx for the main shipping and usps for the 'last mile'.
It's why all those daily trump cards would take forever to get to me. The packages would sit idle for a day or more in various fedex terminals before eventually moving on and getting delivered

Thanks for the confirmation, Patrick.  You'd think Topps would either add a tracking link, or at least tell us to go to FedEx for tracking.  Up until this morning, I thought my package was in shipping limbo.  Not sure what made me plug the tracking number into FedEx, but glad I tried.

I am also amazed at the set Dave. A fine cross-section of iconic '70's products. Great artwork, really funny gags. We want more.

I just got my $150 set from Topps today... I was shorted a card from the 30 sticker white back set... RATS!  I hope Topps can supply me with a replacement.  I'd hate to have to buy another entire set from Ebay just to get that one sticker:  "Baldie".  If anyone has a spare, I'd love to procure it, lol.  Thanks so much!

My bad! Correction: by 8 PM. However USPS up here delivers mail by 1 PM so if it doesn’t come by then, I’d expect them on Tuesday.

I wouldn't worry about the time of day aspect here. They're just covering themselves in case of a late delivery.

THIS really sucks! Sorry to hear it. Let's hope it's a one-off anomaly. You paid for a full set, you should get one, period.

Did you look closely at your Toblebone sticker to make sure the Baldie isn't sort of stuck to it? 

Hopefully Topps will make this right for you.  I have an extra Baldie tan back if Topps doesn't come through.

I'm really happy with the artwork and gags in this set.  Not so much with the collation of inserts - I got P2 in both "versions" of the pencil set, and no P9.  Haven't made up my mind on favorites yet, partly because there are several excellent ones to choose from.  I really miss the kiss-cuts, and the checklists.  I put the stickers in pages based upon the numbering on the pencil cards, which is pretty easy when you just move Fruit Brew to the back of the stack of white stickers and then work from the back.

I'll be posting some trade info later, and hopefully some sketch scans.

I am pleased to report that Steve did find that there was a white Baldie sticker sort of clinging to the back of Toblebone.  So, if anyone else thinks they got shorted a title, check the back of the sticker that comes after it.

So did you purchase two $150 sets and get the same grouping of pencil cards with each set?

What's with the tan backs?  Its definitely a "tan-colored" back - but completely different material than any tan back I've seen before.

Same as with the previous Old School sets, the tan color is printed on the backs of white card stock.

So give me an idea of what cards are the favorites. Starting to think of the next set if it comes to pass...

Will push to get checklists/ puzzles back in next time (replacing the pencil cards).
