Wacky Packages Old School Series 10 plans?

[slamjim]

I would say so. All you'd have to do is touch up the ones that are already done, finish the ones that aren't, and voila! The 1992 Series is done at last!

There's 39 of them left that I've found, but the only ones you might have problems with are the four Disney products. That still leaves 35, though, plenty for an OLDS series. And don't forget, the original 1992 Series plans, I believe, were for 55 stickers, just like the 1991 Series and most of the ANS run had. Fortunately, most of the Wackys planned for that series have already been released (mostly in ANS1 and Wacky Pack Flashback 2, with a few others scattered here and there), so you're okay on that part.

So...I should not get paid for a series for an entire year?

[mikecho]

So...I should not get paid for a series for an entire year?

Oh no, no, no, you should get paid. It's going to take a lot work to get all 35 of those stickers ready for mass production, I should think.

Remember, a lot of these Wackys are still roughs. As far as I know, the 1992 Series was at least half-finished before Topps foolishly pulled the plug on it.

Running a little poll for Old School 11. What decade do you want? The winning decade doesn't mean it will happen as it's ultimately Topps choice but I'd like to see what everyone here would like regardless. Please post your WP Forum name under the decade with each answer so as others pick all the votes are there.

Ah, drat. 

Hate the be the vintage packaging nerd, but the Bagel Bites design parodied here is very much a 1990s iteration.  Ore-Ida didn't even acquire the brand until 1991.

I actually do have a late 80s Bagel Bites box, but I've never published it anywhere.  Sorry I didn't spot this earlier. 

Still neat to see as these are all gorgeous!!

I don’t know if this question was answered yet, but #12 on the graduation set is different than the one listed on the checklist. I’m guessing it’s a last minute replacement. Anyone know?

Kind of ironic that Original Series 1-16 were all issued in the 1970s and yet there are no votes for the 1970s?!

Yes, I've seen him too on a few of the food that built America shows.

For I guess twenty years I have been purchasing things directly from Topps or The Topps Vault and never had an issue when something was shipped UPS or USPS.

With the monthly sets and the OS sets, everything comes Fed Ex and it never disappoints. No joking but I don't think I've had an order that has not experienced some sort of hiccup when it comes to federal express. For the past four days my cards have been sitting an hour away in Allentown. Initially a 4/17 delivery is now a 4/19 delivery. Unbelievable.

My sets have been sitting in UPPER MACUNGIE TWP for the last 3 days. I feel your pain.

I'd like to see the 1960's covered next. Either that or pre '60's or the 1970's. Nothing beyond the '70's for me.     

[lucidjc]

I was born in the late 60's so packaging from then would be unfamiliar.
80's I did not play with toys, so I guess I would not like to see any toy packages from the 80's, supermarket packaging I would remember.


LucidJC - 70's


That's what I remember!

That would be the Allentown I mention. In 4 days I could have crawled there.

[sco(o)t]

That would be the Allentown I mention. In 4 days I could have crawled there.

I wonder what this is attributable to. Are there still so many people out sick at some of these locations making it impossible to move  packages for days at a time?

[JailOJohn]

I read in the Wall Street Journal today that USPS has proposed sweeping cuts that would make about 1/3 of its packages go from a 2-day delivery time to 4 days….

My neighbor recently retired from Fed Ex and if the stories he told me are truthful or even partially truthful, I understand why every Topps order I've had shipped through it has experienced an issue. Those issues range from completely non updated tracking, destroying a label, taking longer than it should, etc..,

I don't blame Topps for what Federal Express doesn't do but I wouldn't mind if it different shipping options were available. 

[bludevilok]

My OS10 sets have been sitting in Ellenwood, GA, since Friday, and if Fedex lives up to its history, my sets will continue to sit there for at least a week.  My February sets were the worst case!  My Feb sets sat in Ellenwood for a week; once they arrived at Dallas, TX, that facility had to replace the label because it was "unreadable" by then.  I didn't receive my Feb sets until two complete weeks after I received the shipping notice from Topps.  I'm bracing for the same scenario, but hoping for the best.

From my screen the 80's is the lead.

With OS10, too many good cards to list.

[quas]

Dave - One thought would be to not issue all titles exclusively for one decade, but rather issue titles proportionately based on the number of votes received in this poll.  So most titles would be 1960s but there would also be some fewer number of titles for each of the other decades.

Weigh in on this!  Winner-take-all or proportional?

[roughwriter]

While I don't believe this is the kind of issue that a "vote" will have any impact on, from an artist's standpoint, I would say that each set should focus on a single time period. That way, the various cards would complement each other. A mixed set would clash. There are variations in style depending on the decade being parodied, and hopping all over the place would impact the quality of the renditions. One Decade At A Time! - Pete
