For August week 4 I only got 3 ludlows and 4 coupon backs. The rest were repeats. Traded already for my missing coupon.

Love the art work in this set especially Kentucky Flies Sicken and Florida’s Super Natural.

Yeah, I had perfect collation in Aug wk 3 and the worst ever in wk 4!

I know the chase was part of the fun when we were kids, but we're not anymore and we're not paying a nickle or whatever. If I order 10 sets, I want everything.

To add my voice to the "what I like about these"...

Loved the Wacky Initials (very fun)...

And a broader statement on the Weekly Series.. I'm loving the amount of candy Wackys I'm getting.  Always happy to see those.

I 100% agree with you. The collation in week 4 was one of the worst and we should not have to go to eBay or trade after paying a fortune to buy 10 sets to only TRY to complete the set. For me they got it right some of the weeks. Why not all the time?

received my August week 3 and 4.

as with everyone else, week 3 was perfect collation. But I did have another issue - with about half the sets, the base cards are stuck together with some sticky residue on the backs of the cards. the chase cards were unaffected. Just the base cards, stuck together in a wad.
Anyone else have base cards stuck together?

and ditto for week 4. a mess. they couldn't even provide an even split of GA/Initial cards. multiple dupes of some luds and totally shorted on others. Abysmal. Just when it looked like they had figured it out, too.

I also had sticky cards in August Week 3, and it included every set, and the chase cards, to some degree.

Unfortunately, my August 2020/Week 3 order was not a perfect collation, but only 1 dupe ludlow and 1 dupe coupon. My base cards also had the sticky syndrome. Also, a return to the excess packaging for me as well.

got my week 3 and week 4 sets fairly close together, opened everything up today.

I did find, to my surprise, a super rare card!  It was totally white on both sides, what a concept!

I think it was supposed to be a ludlow or coupon, but obviously, Topps must have had to
refill the ink in the printing machines during that two seconds, and voila, I have a beautiful
variation! 

I think I'll head over to eBay and list it for hundreds!

That's the somewhat elusive "polarbearoid in a blizzard" sketch card, done on both sides. Congrats!

My Week 3 also had the "sticky syndrome," and in one of my cases, the Fisterine was completely missing.  (Yes, I checked to see if it was stuck to another card, but nope, just gone.)  Plus, I also got the "super rare," white-on-both-sides card in another case.

Fortunately, I got all the bases and all the coupons, so it just wouldn't be worth the time and effort to raise a stink to Topps' customer service.  But I coulda if I wanted to.

You're absolutely right. I was shorted three sets from JUNE week 4. Contacted TOPPS the day I received the seven sets, and called them the following Tuesday.

Guess what I STILL haven't received?  :-\

For September Week 1, the Wonky Packages for Flabby's Juice has an Initials back instead of a Wonky back?

Yes, you are right. I noticed that as well. Maybe they’ll send us one with the Wonky back and these will be rare. LOL!

I got August Week 3 on Friday, Week 4 on Saturday, and September Week 1 on Monday.  What a waste of packing materials and shipping costs!

How could they screw up like that?  Someone has my dream job, and doesn't deserve it.  These are going to look ridiculous in my pages of Wonkys   :sad:

Do you think they will bother with reprinting them with the correct back, then ship a corrected card to buyers of 2 or more packs?

I solved this problem by placing an extra Gatorage Wonky behind The Falbby's Wonky Card so that the back of the Flabby's shows the Wonky Back.   ;)

Mitt's is my last new WP for the next month and half so I can focus on the Old School stuff but I will have three older never printed ANS pieces from the past coming the next three weeks including my third ever WP painting.

I purchased a few extras for cheaply once the prices dropped on Wonky's. Gatorage is my favorite.   ;)

Got a sticky Aug week 3 set like many others here. I couldn't get the cards to slide apart and had to pry them apart. The residue on the cards is very heavy. I emailed Topps and asked if they know what the contamination is and if the problem will be rectified going forward.

That's a great card. I have to say your cards are always my favorites in these new weekly sets- great work and thank you!
