Do you know what time these go on sale? I have a flight on Wed at around 10AM MST and wouldn't have time to order until about 12:30PM MST. I think the last postcards went on sale at 11 MST so I will miss out completely.
Can you pull 5 aside? I will pay this evening. Would Topps take a quick pre-order?

These are going to be totally awesome!

Looks good!
Notice they're showing the sketch cards in the ad now? They're becoming the main product. Meanwhile the main product is becoming the gum. Eventually they discontinue the gum.

I work during the day so may get shut out of these. Any chance of the pre-order link via email for one set to forum members that has been discussed in the past?
Please advise exactly when these will go on sale. I may be "Sick" on Wed.

Since this is the Halloween Postcards would this actually be postcard series 7? If not then is postcard series 7 coming out later this year?

My girl and I speak of this all the time. Why the hell do stores close early evening, when most work in the day? Their open when you arrive at your job, then close shortly after you get home. By the time you get home, eat, shower and go out to the place to get something, all the employee's are proudly and eagerly stating on the intercom "make your final purchases, the store will be closing in 5 minutes". Who's brilliant idea is this to sell products? No wonder so many people are turning to the internet to do their shopping.

Not trying to derail the topic, but really - give us chance here.

I'm wondering that myself.  I really like the full bio sets, but with 6 postcards and a bonus card, completists could need 6 or 7 sets just for those.

Maybe they only made one bio card and not a set?

How many sets with Sketch card will be made?  Are there color sketches again and if so how many per artist?
Since Matthew Kirscht has a a serious Halloween creative talent I am especially looking forward to his sketches in this release. If you havn't seen his web site I suggest you check it out. His Hallowwen themed art is wonderful and seems to have quite a following.  www.shiverbones.com    is his web site.

Splitting up the Bio-cards?  I like that!  I will be a good item to trade for.

That's true but with everyone else on the forum getting dupes I don't think it will be too tough to trade for, kind of like the Old School subsets.

No this is just a special Halloween edition of the postcards. Series 7 should be released sometime in the not-so-distant future.

Matthew's stuff rocks! In fact, I asked him to do a special version of the postcard back, because he's such a halloween head! It's really spooky!

Neil, should we expect that same 5 set per customer limit on this one?

That's correct. A limit of 5 sets per household is what I've been told.

What do these usually cost?
I've never gotten in on them and only know ebay prices >(
Will these be numbered again? 300 again?

Woo Hoo!  Sounds like a fun set. 

Any chance these will come in a wrapper like the last postcard set?  I really liked that.

How many different sketch cards will there be?  Basically what I'm asking is will each artist have at least 1 sketch card that they draw?

Neil is being very mysterious with this set. Not much info to go on. I guess we will all be in for a surprise!
