Month: June 2017

Topps has been slightly delayed in revealing print run information recently. Today Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Trumpocracy 2017 card #25, and GPK Network Spews #71. These cards were offered on earlier this week, on Tuesday. While artist Michael Barnard’s first card last week led the way in sales, numbers for his second effort were down. Historically, GPKs are hand painted before being transferred into digital form for printing. In what might be a preview for how things are done in the future, Barnard uses an all digital approach to his pieces. Collector reactions have been mixed, but credit Barnard for trying something new in the brand. Sales for his pieces will be interesting to follow going forward. Here are on Tuesday’s cards ended up.

GPK Trumpocracy
#25 – Diplomatic Donald – 117

GPK Network Spews
#71 – Grumpy Gianforte – 96

Topps is at it again for the third day this week. Today Topps launched Garbage Pail Kids Trumpocracy #27 (Artist: Fred Harper), and GPK Network Spews #74 (Artist: Dejarnette). Topps also brought some of their other online brands out and are offering a Wacky Packages Alternate Facts and Trumpocracy card. There is also a Twister card today. Today’s highlight is a parody based off of Kathy Griffen’s controversial picture in the news. Each of today’s cards can be purchased for $9.99 or in lots of 5 for $29.99, 10 for $48.99, or 20 for $79.99. A five card bundle featuring one of each card can be purchased for $34.99.
