Topps Comics continue to be a solid seller for Topps. Today Topps revealed the print run for Topps Comics GPK #3 The Garbage Pail Kids Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse. Topps had taken a few weeks off from producing the comics. Sales for comic #3 ended earlier this morning after being on sale for 7 days on topps.com. The latest comic focused on the various ways the apocalypse is upon us during Trump’s presidency. Total sales ended up being 291 copies. While quite a bit less than comic #2, it did outsell #1, and the sales numbers are quite higher than the Trumoocracy cards have been producing. There is no telling when the next comic will hit the website, but Topps is bound to continue the series.
