It’s been over a month since Topps first announced the next retail set, 2024 Garbage Pail Kids Series 1 Kids At Play, by releasing the retail sell sheet to distributors. With just over three weeks until the scheduled release date, the company today finally released the Hobby sell sheet. Once again collectors can expect a 200 card base set, 100 new pieces in a/b versions. The theme is everything related to children’s playtime and activities.

There will once again be Collector boxes, and Retail Display boxes. The Retail Display boxes will also be sold under the “Hobby” label, continuing to confuse collectors and allow companies to charge more money for the same thing. The usual parallels will return. Booger Green parallels can be found one per pack in all retail pack types, while Black parallels can be found one per pack in Collector packs. Blue parallels (/99) are exclusive to Retail Display packs, while Red (/75) will be exclusive to Collector packs.

Like 20223S2, there will once again be artist autographs of the base cards in addition to Fool’s Gold autos (/50), and Foilfractor Autos (1/1).

Bored of Board Games are new and previous GPK characters in famous board games. Wacky Packages: Playthings will features famous toy and game themed packaging. There will once again be patch cards, as the GPK Scouts Patch Cards will once again be a hit in boxes. The patches also have a number of parallels; Green (/150), Blue (/99), Red (/75), Fool’s Gold (/50), and Foilfractor (1/1). There will also be the GPK “TCG” Cards, these “First Edition” trading cards feature GPK characters that mock TCG cards. The TCG cards will also have Foilfractor (1/1) versions. There is no mention of the insert sets found in the “Hobby” boxes, but the Retail sell sheet does mention the Tom Bunk Let’s Get Physical set that will be found in Retail Display boxes. Sketch cards of course return with regular sketches in Retail Display boxes, while Shaped and Triptych sketches will be in Collector boxes.

2021 Series 2 Garbage Pail Kids GPK Goes on Vacation Retail Sell Sheet

The last week has been filled with GPK news. Today brings us the retail sell sheets for 2021 Series 2 Garbage Pail Kids GPK Goes on Vacation. There are a number of changes being made to the retail products found in Targets and Walmarts. It appears Fat Packs are a thing of the past. As with Chrome 4, there are no Fat Packs being offered by Topps for the next retail release. Blasters and Retail Display boxes will be the two options available for big box retailers. Because there are no Fat Packs, Purple parallels are also no longer being produced. Collectors can continue to find Green parallels in all retail packs. Route 66 Asphalt (/66), Fool’s Gold (/50), Printing Plates, Regular Sketch cards, and Artist Autos will be also randomly inserted into all pack types throughout the product. A new insert card, Don’t Make Me Pull this Car Over, will be inserted into all retail packs types in 1:3 packs. These cards will featured the theme of the torture that is being crammed into a car for a road trip.

Retail Display boxes are now being advertised by Topps on the sell sheet as being Retail + Hobby Display boxes. Keep in mind these are the same product. There is no “H” designating them as Hobby. They do however come with some exclusive items. Spit Blue parallels (/99) can be found in Display boxes. Famous Landmarks by Tom Bunk can be found in Display Boxes only. The returning Bunk puts his GPK twist on iconic destinations. These will be inserted 1:3 packs.

Blaster boxes (aka Value Box), will continue to contain some exclusive items. Blaster boxes will come packaged in 1 of 3 collectible luggage themed tins. These boxes will once again contain 10 packs, and carry a MSRP of $22 per tin. Phlegm Yellow parallels can only be found in Blasters, and will be inserted 1:5 packs. The Travel Poster Sticker insert set is also a Blaster box exclusive, and will come 3 cards per tin. Collectors will also get the chance to pull Loaded Puzzle and Panoramic sketch cards from these tins.

Much like with GPK Chrome 4, release dates and allocations are up in the air. The product is being heavily allocated on the retail side with customers only being able to pre-order a limited number of cases. The sell sheets advertise the set will be available September 2021, while the case pricing sheets have a release date of Nov. 24, 2021. GPKNews reached out to Topps for clarification on the released date, and was told to expect the set in the Fall of 2021. GPKNews will update everyone once an exactly release date is known.
