Topps Reveals Print Run for Garbage Pail Kids Gone Exotic 3
It feels like so long ago since Tiger King was released on Netflix, despite it only being two months ago. The love for the docuseries continues. Today Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Gone Exotic 3. The set sold a total of 1,193 copies. The sales number is a couple of hundred less than set 2, but still excellent results for an online GPK set. Only a few of this years political GPKs could rival this in sales. This set marks the end of line for Tiger King sets, or does it? While this might be the end of physical cards, the rumors making the rounds is Gone Exotic GPKs might be making an appearance as the next WAX digital card set. Nothing official to report from either company, just some hints being dropped from WAX on various podcasts. Regardless, this set, the brain child of artist David Gross, will go down as one of the best selling online GPK sets.
