Error Card Spotted in eBay x Garbage Pail Kids Set

Posted on by

Collectors begin receiving their eBay x Garbage Pail Kids sets in the mail this weekend. One collector, Christopher Lanberg, was surprised to see both the 2a and 2b cards have the same name, Messy Tessi. However, later another collector, James Westley, posted his set and his 2a card had the correct name, Leaky Lindsay. It’s still early, so it’s not known yet how wide spread the error card is. Topps has seen numerous printing issues with online sets the last year. They’ve had to reprint and ship a number of corrected cards. Topps tells GPKNews anyone who has the error and wants to request a replacement should contact the Topps Vault store via eBay. Thanks to Christopher and James for the pictures!

eBay x Topps Garbage Pail Kids Set Print Run

Posted on by

The partnership between Topps and eBay looks to be very successful. Earlier today the week long sales of the exclusive eBay x Topps Garbage Pail  Kids set ended. According to the sales counter on the ebay listing, the set sold a total of 1,937 copies. These are huge numbers for a GPK online set. The sales total puts this set as the second best selling online set after the first Tiger King set from earlier this year. (Untold Stories sold more units, but not complete sets.) Any way you look at it, this was a very successful venture for Topps. With sales this high, could we see Topps begin to offer online exclusives via eBay more in the future?
