Halloween Postcards 2012

[BumChex]

Why would I do that?  I prefer series 1-16 stickers over diecuts so that means I should trade you a ratz for Bon Ami?  You must be in sales....

Busted!

[7-Pup]

Can someone tell me the size of the postcards?

[ludlow the red camel]

I never said these don't look good, I just don't care as much for them as I actually like "Sketches" and that is what these had been peddled to be. 

im not seeing where topps peddled there sketches, using your definition as (  shading and sketching, not lines.) -  ididnt know the was the offical definition of a quote "true sketch"
topps simply statated:
One Original Artist-Signed Hand-Drawn Sketch Card

Can someone tell me the size of the postcards?

The regular Halloween set in the wrapper is the same as all the previous postcards, 4.25 x 6 inches.  The coffin shaped cards are the same maximum dimensions, just cut down into a 6-sided coffin shape.

From the October 15-20, 2012 Mark Parisi Off The Mark Wacky Packages Halloween Themed week, were these Wacky Packages entries planned for the Halloween Postcard series but rejected (Though one of them was redone with different lettering but keeping the same Black Lagoon Creature character)?:

[Fanatical_and_Sickly]

Or maybe the Halloween Postcards are rejects from the Off the Mark Halloween week wacky packages comics....

I submitted Murky Way and it wasn't taken but someone else submitted Mirky Way and it was accepted. Missed it by that much!

Other way around LOL...

Busted!

For example, I would have paid double for this one but since I don't really scour ebay for sketches any more, I missed it.  I think this is far more interesting and appealing than sterile perfect line art

I agree that this is a nice piece. I'm not totally against pencil drawings but they look so faint compared to the ink drawings when they are in your collection. That's probably the main reason for me.

[BumChex]

There are still over 100 sets available. Looks like the limits have been lifted.

[jeffcaff]

It looks like they also lifted the free shipping as well.  I am going to try to put an order for 5 sets and see what happens.   If the order limited has been lifted, I assume that these will sell out fast.    Thanks for the heads up, Brad.   

[Fanatical_and_Sickly]

nope. orders over $50 are still free ground shipping.

[BumChex]

I placed an order and they are charging me $19 for ground shipping. I'll have to call them tomorrow.

how odd.
if I put items totaling over $50 in the cart, it says "YOU QUALIFY FOR FREE UPS GROUND SHIPPING!"
I haven't taken it farther than that though

[koduck]

Next year, we'll just have to make a bigger set! AliveSavers is grrrrrreat!

[cmgmd]

As of now, 3:30pm ET, with limits off, there are 70 sets left.

[cmgmd]

Now 40...

[BumChex]

Now 40...

I bet they sell out today! I'm just glad I can order these at a decent price instead of over paying for sketches on eBay.

But you know you're not going to be happy with just a handful of sketches. 

[jeffcaff]

And not knowing whether someone opened the packs and resealed them.  50/50 chance or lower unless you know personally know the seller. 

[BumChex]

You're right! Haha. I still don't own one ANS9 sketch but at least this is something I can control somewhat. I can buy 5-6 PC sets for the price of one ANS9 sketch and I dig the monsters! Can't wait to see them.

[ClubbedCanadian]

Does anyone know if they are also including any Old School promo cards with orders?
I still need a Philly card

[ClubbedCanadian]

Looks like they just ran out!

No promo in my shipment.

I just spoke with Topps and they had a system error over the weekend. They refunded my shipping fee.

[BumChex]

I haven't received my PC's yet but from my understanding you can see the sketch through the wrapper. Is that correct? If so who would buy sets off ebay without seeing the sketch?

Maybe I wasn't clear here when I answered lucidjc:

The folders are sealed in cello, so all you can see is the folder.  Break that, and inside the folder is a cello wrapped postcard set, with the sketch showing.

Actually my sketches were visible, outside the folder, under the shrink wrap (cello.)  So you could see them without opening the sealed packaging.  Sounds like the packaging isn't consistent....
