slamjim: Is it going to be this month in November 2023 or next month in December 2023 we will get an announcement for the long awaited Wacky Packages Old School series 11 with the return of 1970's products Wacky Packages style?

He's probably busy working on finishing them up, along with all of his other illustration work. He will make an announcement when it's ready. I'd rather have it delayed and fantastic than rushed.

I don't claim to be The Voice of Sauron or anything like that, but my understanding is that we are looking at a mid-November release. Things can always change, but that was the last date mentioned to me.

I double checked with Topps, and Old School will actually drop a week later than I thought. Just before Thanksgiving!

Hey there! Nov 22nd it is!

Unfortunately for me, having painted every Old School sticker from series 1-10 I had to reduce my load to only 7 for Olds 11 due to being assigned to a couple of top secret GPK projects that have can't miss deadlines. So...rather than delay it even further, we have Smokin Joe taking over to do 14 pieces and Brent Engstrom will handle 3. They should look awesome. I went from doing all 28 to 14 and now down to 7 as they piled on the other work. Hopefully we have a good run and I get to jump back into my passion set for an Olds 12! We have some super cool new subsets planned and a box you will love. Stay tuned as we get closer for more details!

Thanks for the detailed update!
Total doesn’t add up to 28, but however it falls out, I’m sure it’ll be good.
Looking forward to another set!

Sorry, that should say 18 for Smokin. He took four of mine and Brent three.

So in total OS11 will have 28 entries by 3 different artists and not the entire 30 set?

I wasnt being obnoxious.
I'm just saying that it's nice to share the joy.
Whatever you have planned for OS11 on your own, it'll just as good.

Whatever capacity you are involved with the set, you've always been the "Old School" guru,
I remember all the sets from years ago, you did such a great job with everything, and I'm
looking forward to this upcoming release, and hoping for many many more in the future!

Many thanks!

I actually haven't seen it yet, ha. I just know what it will look like based on what we discussed. Send me a pic if it's finished up!
