Topps Reveals Print Run for GPK Trumpocracy #112-#116

Posted on by

The third Trumpocracy release of the week did not sell well for Topps, and set records for new lows. Today Topps released the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Trumpocracy – The First 100 Days cards #112-#116. The results showed one high, and many lows for Topps. First the good news, the return of artist John Cebollero led to the card painted by him (#114) to a high of 209 copies sold. That was the highest selling card of the day, and for the first time in a long time actually beat the Wacky Packages card in sales. However the rest of the news was all bad for Topps. A new record low for an individual card was set by both card #112 and #113, both selling 139 copies. The Wacky card was also very low as it barely cleared the 200 mark. With Topps doing a forth straight day of sales on Friday, will sales continue to fall? Here are how Thursdays cards ended up.

#112 – Public Display Donald – 139
#113 – Conflict of Interest Conway – 139
#114 – Toiling Trump – 209
#115 – Handshake Deal – 150
#116 – 3rd Degree (Wacky) – 205
