For the second straight day Topps continues with more online exclusives. Today Topps launched Garbage Pail kids Trumpocracy 2017 card #14 (Artist: Camera) and GPK Network Spews #60 (Artist: ?). Topps is also offering one Wacky Packages card under the Network Spews set today. In the first two days of offers there have actually been more GPK cards than Wacky Packages offered. The slumping sales of the Wacky’s might be leading to a change back to focusing on GPK cards. Each of today’s cards can be purchased for $9.99 or in lots of 5 for $29.99, 10 for $49.99, or 20 for $79.99. A three card bundle featuring one of each card is available for $24.99. Free shipping in the US is available wit the Smartest option, while international shipping is $10. The cards will be on sale via topps.com for 24 hours. Topps will reveal the print run at the end of the sale. Here are pictures of today’s cards.

Topps waited until the end of the week to reveal the print runs for their online exclusives, and the news isn’t good. Last night Topps revealed the print runs for Garbage Pail Kids Trumpocracy 2017 cards #1-#4, and GPK Network Spews #51-#52. The news started out good for Topps as card #1 of any set always sells well, and the new Trumpocracy set was no exception. Card #1 blew everything away doing sales of 346. From there things started going downhill. Wednesday’s GPK cards saw sales back down in the mid 100’s. The bad news came with Thursday’s release of Network Spews cards. Sales hit rock bottom. Both GPK cards broke the record for lowest in sales, and not by a little bit. The new lowest is card #51 with only 112 in sales. Perhaps more worrisome for Topps is the sales of Wacky Packages. Thursday’s Network Spews Wacky bottomed out with three actually ended in double digits. Was Thursday a one off in sales? Or have a large number of collectors buying these stopped? It will be very interesting to see what if offered and the sales next week. Here are how the sales came out for the week.

With a slight delay Topps revealed the print run for the last two days of online exclusives, and once again one of the few GPK cards led the way. Today Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Trumpocracy – The First 100 Days cards #156-#166, and Network Spews #44-#46. With Topps putting out mostly Wacky Packages cards as part of their online exclusives recently a new trend has taken hold. The GPK cards are selling just as well and in many cases now lead the daily sales results. This happen again as Trumpocracy #157 led the way with 256 in sales. The Wacky’s meanwhile for the most part staying in the 170-220 range again. With the Wacky Packages it is starting to appear cards by certain artists are selling more than others on a consistent basis. The big question now, is this the end of the Trumpocracy set? President Trump’s 100th day in office is tomorrow. There has been no word from Topps yet on how they will handle the online exclusive cards next week. Here are how the final numbers ended up for the last two days of cards.

Topps is back today with another large online release, dominated by Wacky Packages. Today Topps launched Garbage Pail Kids Trumpocracy – The First 100 Days cards #161-#166, and Network Spews #46. Only one GPK card today (Artist: Simko), with five additional Wacky’s (#162 & #166 Artist: Gross, #163-#165 Artist: Im) as part of the Trumpocracy set. The lone Network Spews card is a Wacky (Artist: Im). Each of today’s cards is available for $9.99 or in lots of 5 for $29.99, 10 for $49.99, or 20 for $79.99.

A GPK card leads the way in sales results. Today Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Trumpocracy – The First 100 Years card #155, and Network Spews #40-#43. A few weeks back Topps made a change to focus on more Wacky Packages, instead of GPK as part of the online exclusive releases. At the time Wacky Packages sold significantly more copies than their GPK counterparts. The trend now appears to be changing. The lone GPK card from Tuesday’s release led the way in sales with 236 copies. The Wacky’s were all over the place in sales in the 170-220 range. Was the change in sales because of the artwork? Was it because the GPK card was the only Trumpocracy card, while the others were Network Spews? Or is it just simply Wacky collectors tiring of the increase of online cards? How Topps decides to change up online offers after Trump hits 100 days will be interesting to see. Here are how the sales numbers came out for Tuesday’s cards.
