Wow! We had a great first day of sales! Thanks for all of the support! For any of you still on the fence, remember how popular Neil's Halloween sets turned out to be, and now they can't be found at any price! Don't let that happen with these! Order some extras, or you'll wish you had!

[Scheres]

will these be offered to those not on the forum??

Glad you had a good first day of sales, but what email address do we use  to send our paypal funds??

[roughwriter]

My apologies! I thought I'd responded to everyone who needed the address. For ease of reference, please send orders to pzies@defensegroup.com. We are not currently limiting orders, so feel free to pick up stocking stuffers or gifts for your Wacky friends! Thanks!

[RawGoo]

Thanks!  Payment sent!

[quas]

Looking forward to it!  Payment sent!

  Did I forget to mention that 1 of our 10 postcards is a Bonus Card that parodies a Holiday never done before? We've seen Halloween and Christmas and Easter and even Thanksgiving parodies, but have you ever seen a New Year's parody? Buy a set of our Postcards, and you can add one to your collection! Supplies are limited, so act now!

[DrDeal]

Ordered!   Thanks

[roughwriter]

Thank so much to everyone who has ordered! We've already raised over $1,000 for a worthwhile charity! There are still sets available, and it is our hope that if this run does well, we might be able to do it again next year. Wouldn't it be great to have both Halloween and Christmas sets to look forward to each year? And our postcards are conveniently sized to fit in most standard Christmas stockings!

[Zenergizer]

I'm very proud and honored with the awesome work that
the 10 artists did for this set.  There are 8 holiday/wintery/Christmas-y
parodies and 2 bonus "celebratory" ones that you may think of
after the holidays, if you get my drift 

And remember, it's a fun set all in the spirit of the holidays, and for a good cause, too!

Just out of curiosity, how many members do we have on the forum? It must be more than 30, right? I don't want to disappoint the remaining members when the sale closes, so how do I wake up the holdouts? I mean, who WOULDN'T want a set of Christmas Parody cards for the measly sum of $30??? Especially when you see how good the art is, you are gonna kick yourself if you missed out! 'Nuff Said!

Just want to clarify a few things...
1) the sale of these sets are only within the forum and not allowed to be promoted outside the group?
2) Would sales help here if there was a teaser of sorts? Like a flyer showing a few examples?

Reiterate that this is for toys 4 tots. I'm sure if sales could venture outside the forum,there may be a fund raiser one like " toys 4 tots" to show people what's being offered here.

Feel free to show my original card art as a way to own it. Buy a set get a raffle ticket..buy 2 sets and get 3..etc.

Most of the 995 are fake IDs created when we were getting daily spam accounts.  And some are members who have stopped participating.  I would say we have about 60-65 active members and a few lurkers.  The most ever logged in at the same time was 72 (that was back when Neil/Topps had midnight releases).

Maybe we should reintroduce those midnight releases!

[JailOJohn]

Not to get too far off topic, but if there are truly only 60-65 active members on here, how do we keep any new releases going, profit-wise? For example, Old School 11? Does everyone buy 5 sets?

Again, not to get too far off-topic, but is there any way that the people in charge here can trim or otherwise weed out the tares and keep the wheat, if you know what I mean?

Speaking of postcards, I've got a question.

I went over to my local Staples to get two packages of three-pocket sheet protector pages since I'd run out of them, only to find that they'd been discontinued. Now, how stupid is that?

Can anyone help me find a store that sells these? The three pockets are two 4 3/4" by 7 3/4" in the front of the page and one 8.5" by 11" in the back. I tried looking at Office Depot after the cashier at Stapes suggested it, but they didn't have them at all. She also suggested Walmart or CVS.

[RawGoo]

Just go online and buy the Ultra Pro pages!

Well, hmmmm...let's think about it...maybe there are a lot of collectors who aren't on the forum?

Hi Folks! I should be able to start mailing sets out in another week or so. There are about 8 members that have expressed interest in the sets but have not sent in payment yet. Please double check to make sure you took that final step! If you decide to order extra sets to up your chance of winning the painting, that's fine too! Just remember, Time Waits For No Man, and Santa's on his way!

Time Waits For No Man, and Santa's on his way!

When my kids would tell me, "I'm coming," I would reply, "so is Christmas, and it's moving faster than you are."

[mikecho]

PM sent last week. Please PM me and let me know that you received it.

[roughwriter]

Hi Everyone! I expect to receive the rest of the cards from the printer some time this week. I should be able to package up the sets over the weekend and get them mailed early next week. I hope that will allow enough time for delivery by Christmas!

[Zenergizer]

Just to provide a quick update, we may be delayed a week or so, due to yours truly.

As was pointed out and hinted at, one of the concepts I provided for one of our
great contributors to paint, it was already done in a WP set back in the 2018 Movies
set, and I feel like a fool for completely forgetting about it.

Even though it was changed out a bit and updated, we're going to replace it
with another awesome holiday parody, so bear with us a few more days.....

Many thanks for your holiday patience!

Can we please see the artwork anyways? That way we can print out our own as a "cutting room floor" postcard to stick in our binders. Most of us don't care if the parody was made already and it would be a waste to delete the artwork after all your hard work on it!
