2016 GPK Apple Pie Retail Sell Sheet

Posted on by

A few months ago we posted the sell sheet for Hobby/Collector boxes for the 2016 Garbage Pail Kids As American as Apple Pie In Your Face set. Here is the sell sheet for the Retail version of the product. (PDF version can be found here.) Most of the info is not new here, but good to see the sell sheet info from Topps. Two other cards types not mentioned on this sell sheet. 1) Pee Parallels that are found in gravity feed boxes from Target. 2) There will once again be 2 pack Blisters that come with one of two special Adam Bomb cards, similar to the Blisters from the 30th set that contained the special foil cards. 2016 GPK Apple Pie officially releases this coming Wednesday, 1/20/16.

2016 GPK Set to Feature Past Spinoffs in Blaster Boxes

Posted on by

As Topps is set to release 2016 Garbage Pail Kids American as Apple Pie In Your Face set next week, new details are coming out on some surprises they have in store. As we mentioned in an article last week, Retail Blaster boxes will include 3 Gross Bears cards per box. GPKworld.com broke news on their Facebook page that those Gross Bears cards will be based off the 1985 Topps Gross Bears Button set. GPK World also mentioned those cards will be found in Walmart Blaster boxes. GPK World also reported that Target Blaster boxes will contain 3 Bathroom Buddies cards, based off a 90’s GPK spinoff set.

Finally GPK World offered up a sneak peak at the wrapper art for this set.

The next release is set for Jan. 20, however retail will often hit stores early. Keep your eyes open this weekend for these packs.
