Definitely not done. Keep those binder pages open.

Now if only we had a binder to keep those pages in.......🤔

Great looking card! Hey David! Think you could convince Topps to make a binder for each of the monthly sets?

Maybe a generic Weekly binder; even putting puzzles in separately, I only have 8 pages for May and 9 for June.

great preview image, looks like the work of our very own Neil, if I'm not mistaken?
I can't stop cracking up with the arm holding out a fiddle for the woman, awesome!

Glad you like it! By the way, if the character in the art seems familiar, it's supposed to be a nod to the 6th series title, "Sneer"

Here's my new card for the week: Players Peanuts



I love parodies like this where there is lots of details inside the glass. Love the joke, the artistry and colors. Among my DG favorites of all time, up there with JIP peanut butter!

And, there are some things that I could blast out upon the site, that I've sort of been saving for my first book.  Which I had had a number of meetings on, before the pandemic hit. 

J

That sounds exciting.  I'll look forward to learning/hearing more about it when the time is right.

Since the Wacky Weekly series is having current a Wacky Initials subset, how about for a future Wacky Weekly subset Wacky Packages characters in the style of Mars Attacks or Wacky Packages characters in the style of Hollywood Zombies?

Will the 2nd checklist from the July sets (week 4) also have the cards from the 5th week on it? Not sure if this question has already been answered?

Fun looking card, David! Do you know if the 2nd checklist from the July series will include the week 5 cards as well?

It says that an August Week 2 pack includes either a wonky or an artist card, which is different from the previous week....I assume that's an error?

I see there's a July Week 5 checklist too.

I already ordered, and now I'm confused again.  I thought Wonkys were stopped for the month and replaced by initials.  And, putting a July checklist in an August set is asinine.

The August Week 2 listing is frustrating as hell.  A Wonky is mentioned in the Configuration, but not in the Subject List, and is not shown in the Gallery.  Initials are mentioned in the Subject List, but not in the Configuration, and that sticker is shown in the Gallery.  It says "Each Set contains (7) stickers - 5 base PLUS 2/3 chase stickers PLUS Checklist Card!" which in my world adds up to 8

Can one of the artists here PLEASE get Topps to clarify before the ordering window ends??

I bought 20 of the July Week 5 sets, and cut down to 10 for August.  Now, to get checklists for all of my July Week 5 sets, I have to shell out another $150 on 10 more August Week 2 sets I don't want?  I call BS!  If they realized they made a mistake by not including a checklist in the July Week 5 set, they should send us the July Week 5 checklists that should have been included in those sets we already paid for.  Of course, I'm still waiting for my "replacement" Wonkys and Guest Artists stickers from June Week 1.........

Nice job! When I look at this bag and those radioactive vegetables, it reminds me of my favorite episode of Gilligan's Island, where a crate of radioactive seeds floats ashore, and they develop super powers from these vegetables they grew.

Maybe they will print and get the July checklist in the July week 5 sets when those ship. It's not too late.

I’m really hoping this is the case. I posted this question a few times in this thread over the past week and it went unanswered. It makes no sense for the checklist to come with the August set. To be honest there shouldn’t be a 3rd checklist. It should be combined on the 2nd July checklist. Just reduce the font size. Pretty easy to do....

Love that one! All the dog needs, imo, is one more head with one eye and he'd be a cyclopean version of Cerberus, the three-headed, dragon-tailed watchdog of the gates of Hades!

Never even occurred to you, did it?

I believe that the July Week 5 checklist will be on the back side of the CK initials card.   I think the initials header was on the back side of the PA initial card from Week 1 August.  Just a guess.

Looks like it has been corrected...NO WONKYS:

Configuration

• 5 base stickers
• 2 chase stickers - (1) Red Ludlow Back OR Coupon Back, (1) Wacky Initials OR Guest Artist of the Week

Did anyone get their July week 3 sets yet? The collation is not even. I bought the 10 set and (besides the 5 Wonkys and 5 Artist cards) I got only 7 different coupons or red ludlows: 4 coupon backs and 3 red ludlows. The remaining 3 were repeats. 

I took care of my missing coupon back already.
Not concerned about ludlows.

I just looked on the Topps site, and my July week 2 order is supposed to be delivered today.  I always order one set on Wednesday right after it goes on sale, so they must be shipping the smaller orders later than the others.  I'm scheduled to get week 3 today too, so they must be combining the smaller orders.  Has anyone else experienced this?

So they arrived in two separate packages with tracking numbers that are very close to each other.  I don't see the purpose in shipping them at the same time in separate packages.

my collation was pretty good, not perfect, but better than last week. At it had even Wonky/GAs this time.

Received my July week 3 set today.

Had a second set in the mailbox also so I thought what's going....turns out they finally sent me the June 3rd set I never received.  Lol that's strange.  And I had already bought a set from ebay thinking I'd never see the set I ordered.

I have bought 10 packs every week since the beginning, and still have never gotten a "complete" weekly set. I'm always missing a coupon (or Lud) or two, while having doubles of other coupons (or Luds). $144 per week, and I still have to make trades or more purchases to complete each weekly set. It's maddening. I've tried to stay quiet and positive, but it's been happening every week for 3 months  :sad:
