Thanks for your feedback on this. There is a lot to think about when it comes to the original series and All-New Series.

I wonder if Topps is going to do anything for the Comic-Con. I don't think everything is over, but we are recovering from ANS7... really, I'm still collecting items from it, so I am not completely bored (although, I'm frustrated because these last items are very difficult to find).

I added one more wrapper variation to my ANS7 section... 5-card packs with gum. I still need to get that box (they're sold at Rite Aid and Party City stores) and the candy shop / special market box. If you can help with either box, please let me know. I will finish updating my ANS7 section hopefully soon.

The 5-card packs just contain 5 cards and a stick of bubble gum... no insert cards. they are unpriced, and at Party City they sell for $1.29 each. I like these packs... too bad the series was designed with insert cards... just getting a base card set and no oddball insert cards would have been nice. The cards in the 5-card packs are the same as the cards in the mega packs.

I agree that the All-New Series has really been detrimental to GPK. I have no idea why Topps is designing the series the way they have been... I am absolutely positive that All-New Series better than the original series can be created if they actually took the right steps and really listened to our suggestions. But, I know that is not going to happen... one could only hope they do start listening to us. I still might send them a short feedback list about ANS7... the main things are get rid of the mega packs and go back to the 5 card packs, have no digitally created artwork, go back to a 80 card base set, and fix the bonus card and manufacturing problems. I might post more about this later on.
