Oh boy, what fun!! Can't wait to get home and look! I think I know already, but want to check to be sure

dth1971 · « **Reply #2 on:** October 18, 2023, 05:14:38 AM »

My guesses - 3 (Cracker Drac, Stake 5, and Red Clots).

rdsjnk · « **Reply #3 on:** October 18, 2023, 06:40:26 AM »

5 in Topps - 2010 Stake 5, 2010 Mike and Yikes, 2011 Cracker Drac, 2012 Necko, 2020 Halloween Mask-Vampire.
2 in Halloween Pack of Fun - 2015 Croakula, 2016 Smarteries

RawGoo · « **Reply #4 on:** October 18, 2023, 10:23:40 AM »

I was delayed, but I think there are 4 occasions with vampires in Halloween sets:
2010 Mike and Yikes
2011 Cracker Drac
2012 Necko Wafers
2020 Scary Lee

roughwriter · « **Reply #5 on:** October 18, 2023, 10:40:09 AM »

For What its worth, I think its five also, but the line up would be Stake 5, Mike & Yikes, Cracker Drac, Necko, and Scary Lee. Six, if you want to include the unreleased Red Clots!

OK my fellow forum members have covered this really well. With both Pat’s and Pete’s answer being comprehensive and complete but wait! Knowing how sneaky Neil is shouldn’t we add one more and add the vampirized sticker kid who appeared on the envelope of Wacky Halloween postcards 2011. If so that would raise the count to 7 if Clots is included!

koduck · « **Reply #7 on:** October 18, 2023, 01:25:47 PM »

Some great guesses here! Did anyone remember to check the backs of the postcards? Hee, hee...

Corndog · « **Reply #8 on:** October 18, 2023, 01:54:24 PM »

I don't have all the sets in my inventory, so I will just blindly guess 9 (nine).

Plastered Peanut · « **Reply #9 on:** October 18, 2023, 09:01:12 PM »

I count 12 in all.

roughwriter · « **Reply #10 on:** October 19, 2023, 07:29:57 AM »

I'm going to assume that the lack of announcement of a winner means we haven't hit the right number yet, so I'll add the little figures on the back of the cards plus the vampire mask to get the very appropriate creepy number 13! How about that?

Corndog · « **Reply #11 on:** October 19, 2023, 08:05:31 AM »

I've watch the 'Price is Right' show.

I guess 14 times.

RawGoo · « **Reply #13 on:** October 20, 2023, 09:04:21 AM »

If I am allowed another shot, after further research, I'll say 17 appearances.

you beat me to it, that was my guess so I will go 18.

drono · « **Reply #15 on:** October 20, 2023, 08:21:43 PM »

I'll guess 0. Vampires don't appear in mirrors or photos or stickers, correct?

jleonard1967 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 21, 2023, 10:04:42 AM »

20 TIMES

mikecho · « **Reply #17 on:** October 21, 2023, 01:00:12 PM »

I'll say 15 (counting (no pun intended) the artists cards and the wrappers).

DrSushi · « **Reply #18 on:** October 21, 2023, 03:15:17 PM »

I'll say 10,000

Hopefully wrappers and such don't count because Neil said postcards specifically.

I know that, I'm covering everything just to be on the safe side.

Great job on the Halloween Trivia game everyone!!! Here's a quick rundown of vampires that have appeared on the Wacky Halloween postcards:

2010 Front - Stake 5
2010 Front - Mike and Yikes
2011 Front - Cracker Drac/ Back - Dracula
2012 Front - Necko/ Back - Vampire Bat
2013 Back - Umbrella
2020 Front - Scary Lee mask/ Back - Paste Anyplace vampire kid

BUT...after considering all of the nuances of the original question, the correct answer can actually differ based on some criteria I didn't outline in my original post. For example, if a character appears multiple times (such as "Scary Lee"), does that only count as one vote? Also, some of the characters won't appear until you've had your 2023 set in hand, so that definitely adds a twist!

As a result, I've decided to give everyone who submitted an answer on this thread a free sketch card as my little Halloween treat!

If you submitted an answer, please send me a PM with your contact info and your favorite wacky character and I'll mail you a sketch card for all of your hard work!

Thanks again and I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!!!

Sorry I missed this contest, but wanted to give a shout out to Neil for making some fun with his generous game/offer! On a similarly happy note, I got my shipping notice today. It would be fun to have these in hand on Halloween

How was your Halloween? Did you get a lot of trick-or-treaters and how much candy do you have left over, if any?
