You-Pick-The-Design Sketch Card Give Away!
« on: April 17, 2024, 04:43:47 AM »
  You read that right! In an effort to insure that the 2024 ANS Set is a big seller, I'm going to be drawing a free sketch card of your choice for ever 3 boxes sold (proof of purchase required)! Topps has even agreed to provide official Wackys blanks for this promo! I will draw as many as needed, and may be joined by another Wackys artist. Send use you proof and pick your topic, and your custom card will be made to order! This is the easiest, guaranteed way to get the sketch you want! Act NOW ( Well, tomorrow anyways)! - Pete Zies

Pete this is an amazing idea!  So cool of you to go the extra mile and do free commissioned sketches!  I may have to jump in and give you a hand if demand is high!

You guys are making it hard to sit this set out, which I was planning on doing, and just buying from someone here.

Scot, I believe Pete is saying it’s a made to order custom sketch.  So if you wanted ‘Scoot mouthwase’ for instance you just ask for it!  Very cool way to add a wanted, missing title to your sketch collection!

Just to clarify, so if you buy 6 boxes you get 2 of these sketches?

Hi guys! My understanding is that the sets are being sold in 5 set boxes, and I'll do a free sketch for EVERY 3 boxes (15 sets) bought. As many as you can prove you purchased!

I guess I should have said, how does ONE choose,  :]. So many choices.

Very cool, Pete!  I don't know the details of how much three boxes would cost, but I'd be thrilled to get a custom sketch and, even if I don't pony up the money to buy 3, I'm glad to see you're promoting the release with this sweet incentive.  Here's hoping the set is a hit!

Hey Everybody, I've been told by Topps that just 10 official blanks will be made available for this promotion, and four are already spoken for! I plan on sticking to my word and doing as many sketch cards as needed though, so the 11th sketch and thereafter will be done on some cool non-Topps blanks that I found online. They are distinct from Topps blanks, but have graphic design on par with them. Only 6 official Topps blanks left! Get'em while they're hot!

To be fair, don't you think the first 10 people to order 3 or more (I ordered 6) should get 1 of the Topps. I am willing to give 1 up so others can. I'm pretty sure I'm in for 2. 1 Topps for the first 10, if you ordered more than 3 you get 1 Topps and how many of the others accordingly.  Just a thought I don't run the show.

Pete advised first come first serve....he originally advised they would ALL be Topps - so that is my expectation.

Jim this is a really nice and good suggestion.  I agree that to spread the official sketches to 10 forum members seems like a fair and good approach.   Not sure what Pete or others might feel but I certainly hope Pete considers it and discusses with the forum members who might be impacted.  Obviously it would have to be unanimous to make it happen.

Mayhaps Topps could pony up a few more official sketch blanks?

That would be ideal, with preference to those who did not get one initially, of course.

Hi everyone! Boy, my mouth wrote a big check that my hands are going to cramp up cashing! We've had tons of orders documented for this set, and I'm going to end up doing a huge number of drawings. There IS life outside of Wackys though, and I leave for a week's hike on the Appalachian Trail tomorrow. Be back next Sunday. Everyone thinks about your selections and I'll get started on them once the set is received. Thank you Neil for your generous offer! I'm in a tough spot because of the unexpectedly limited number of Topps blanks. I will listen to everyone's suggestions, and decide what is fairest when I get back. Reception is very spotty in the mountains, so consider me off the grid until next Sunday. Stay Wacky!
