Got my order through!  Wow, I know I said it before, but these are really great and maintaining a high standard.  Liking these much more than ANS.  Keep it up!  :great:

Sales for June week 3 at 891

Slightly down for the month, but still strong.

Just a bad joke, I guess...

well, it's all fixed now. lots of updates to the page, including the corrected listing of parody names and updated artwork, including showing a correct puzzle back piece.

I just cracked 10 June Week 1 packs - no Wonky, no artist card, 10 coupons (no set) and 10 luds (no set).  This is not what I recall them advertising.......  10 more to go now, and 20 more shipping in a few days.

Update:  the 12th pack completed a coupon and ludlow set for me (finally pulled #3).  Still nothing else.

Last update:  20 packs, 1 set of coupons, 3 sets of luds, 3 Wonkys, 1 artist card.

Maybe my second order will be better.  I double checked, and I DID in fact place 2 orders this time  :P

Shit!!! I thought every set purchased would give you a GA or Wonky, but it looks like neither....unless you buy a ton.

Now I know why they pixelate the GA card images every week, along with the Wonkys! Too good to be true.

They didn't fix the wording on the chase card distribution. It should say something like "Includes 2 chase cards - 1 coupon AND 1 Ludlow OR the possibility of a rare Guest Artist or Wonky"

Did I read that right in your post earlier....you bought 40 packs of week 1? Damn...I'm just buying one pack each week because of my lost hours at work :sad:

Yep, I've been trying to buy enough to help everyone here with the coupons and ludlows, but it is getting too expensive.  Think I'm going to have to stop for next month.

If you want extra base sets so you can put puzzles in the pages the right way, LMK.

If we're lucky, maybe there's a 1:5 chance of getting either a Wonky of an Artist Card.

I wish someone at Topps could write properly to describe the contents of each pack, so that the loyal buyers could know exactly what they are getting but I know that's asking a lot.

  Two hard to get cards in each week now? It almost makes me want to quit trying to get them even though I like the majority of the cards.

  Still waiting for a shipping notice for June Week 1.

I just received emails from topps for replacement orders for June week 1

Perhaps fixing the GA and Wonky insert errors?

I second this sentiment.

I was hoping - at the very least - to have decent images of the bonus cards I'll never own, not this pixelated crap they've been posting every week.

Maybe Pat and other forum members called Topps to raise hell and Topps realized their error.

Received my cards today, and got 1 wonky and one artist card in a set of 10
They were last card in pack, and visible, replacing a coupon

Short on coupon #4, but excess of #3 and #5

I was still having trouble even ordering this week's offering, and it was suggested
to try and use a different browser, and it did work.

I certainly don't want to go back to my old Internet Explorer, and I've been getting used to Microsoft Edge,
but if anyone is still having a problem making an order, give this a try!

I was really short on #3.  I hope my second order gets here soon and evens things out.

You need to go on the TV show Trading Spaces.  They once wallpapered someone's kitchen with wine labels -- and they didn't drink.

I thought it would be a super refractor uncut sheet.

Or they could send us one of those absolutely ugly Topps Project 2020 baseball cards.  That kind of looks like a Wacky Package or a Garbage Pail Kid.

I think Topps is doing a great thing, and I'm not sure if they're going to just
send out new orders, or individual cards or who knows?  They thought that
the distribution was going to be X, it turned out to be Y, and I always applaud
companies who realize that we're all not perfect.

It is definitely encouraging (and much appreciated!) that Topps is taking a corrective action.
