Tomorrow, April 1, would be the perfect day to celebrate the 2nd Annual Wacky Packages Day with this release

I'm excited but nervous at the same time! It's been a long time since the last postcards, and I have a feeling Topps is going to charge a lot for these, much like the price increase on Old School. I just got furloughed at work, so money will be tight. But I have all the previous postcard sets and I really want to get these to continue the collection with no holes.

No Daryl. The last thing any of us want to do is promote a virus. These are a fun diversion from the bad news

No worries! Prices will be reasonable, especially if you just want a base set of the regular postcards.

That's good to hear.  There is nothing remotely funny about this pandemic.

If sales are a little lower than the earlier sets, I hope Topps will take into account that a lot of people are losing their jobs.  On that note, if anyone here finds themselves furloughed/laid off/fired when the set is released, shoot me a PM.

Thanks! The problem is I want the bonus cards. I have a complete set thus far. Never completed the artist profile cards, but that's OK if I miss those. I will weigh the options once these are released. I don't see a glut of too many Wacky Packages products released this year, so maybe I can swing this.

Based on past experience, a 10:00 am or noon Topps release time (Eastern).  I haven't seen any notices from Topps - has anyone else?

Topps notices are always an hour or more after items are posted, I wouldn’t wait for that if you want to be first in.

Had I been working at the office, I wouldn't have gotten the good news about this release today nearly so soon.  The thought of new April Fool Wacky Postcards cheered me up, and I'm actually working a little more focused now.

Well, I ordered 3 sets of the limited edition in order to (hopefully) get a complete set of Bio cards. Those were some of my favorite items in the original run, a complete set of them makes a fabulous 'series' (as does a set of the bonus cards). If I get dupes, I'll be back here trading!

Let's hope this is the start of a regular return, the Halloween postcards RULE.

Pity they didn't make a new binder for these.
