Will these be postcards or peel-and-stick stickers? It looks like the latter.

Great artwork on the flyer!!  And I guess I won't be needing to find my extra Halloween postcard binder  :-*

Really looking forward to these!!!  Who are the artists involved, if you can say??

Looking forward to the set and learning more!  I'll be on vacation on the 10th, but will try to keep posted and not get shut out (though I'm guessing there will be a window of a week or so).

Wondering if these stickers will be die-cuts as well as peel-and-sticks.

Lots of info in today’s email (except the price)

It’s an ANS Halloween flavored set.

Just saw this info too.  Other than the numbered parallels, this looks like the best lineup of subsets in any set that I can remember.  Love all of them!  (although have we seen Wacky wrappers before?  Not sure I'm recalling them, though they sound good to me).

Not as a recent subset, but there have been wrappers cards in most of the Monthly sets, Attacky, Old School, etc.
If they’re like that, and with different wackys on each one, with various colors, that’d be neat.

There were vintage wrapper stickers as a subset in Old School, and they were very cool!

Ah yes! Great recall. I was thinking of new “wrappers”, like the subsets that they are doing in the recent GPK online sets.  That Wacky OLDS set of vintage images was nice.

I figure we'll get like the currently available GPK set.  There are a lot of subsets included, and I fear this will be an expensive set to complete!

Neil this all looks too fun!  Can’t wait to see what strange Halloween goodie you cooked up with this wrapper idea!  Also is the checklist card now a puzzle card???  If so, well done, it truly looks like this set will be the cat’s pajamas!

I am excited, but apprehensive about how many subsets there are, with just one hit per pack.

Me too.  Thinking the subsets are 5 stickers each (excluding the parallels and sketches), that's 20 stickers in total. That's conservatively at least 25-30 packs to have a chance at getting them all.   
 
  The Halloween theme is my favorite but it looks like it might be getting too expensive to try to get everything  :'(

  I'll wait and see what the price per pack is and the breakdown of the subsets are before making a decision.


BTW great idea of having the checklist being a puzzle card.  :great:

20 would be fewer than for the prior ANS set, that had 25 total (10 Flashback, 10 Pals, 5 Attacky)
Even if one or two of the subsets are 10 vs 5, it's still about even with the last set, which I thought was reasonable

and thank you for multi-piece checklist puzzle!!  Put those overprinted cards to work. Hope it's a 9-piece, like the old days

As I recall with the 2024 subsets, though, some of the subsets were more difficult to complete than others.  With trading, I was able to get everything except, of course, the 5 variants, which only appeared in, like, 1 out of 10 boxes (not packs).  First, I hope Topps doesn't pull one of those "fast ones" in this set, making it completely impossible to collect all of one subset.  Second, even if Topps doesn't make one of the subsets "rare" (read "impossible to collect"), one must still purchase enough packs/boxes to trade with.

Nevertheless, despite Topps' strange collation methods to maximize their profit, I intend to enjoy every card I am able to collect from this set!  I'm certain this set will be just as well-done as all the other past years.  And I'm looking forward to a new Snickers parody....ha!   ;)
