2023 Garbage Pail Kids Chrome OS 6 Odds

Posted on by

2023 Garage Pail Kids Chrome OS 6 are beginning to show up in the wild. Topps today posted the odds for both Hobby and Retail Blasters on their website. Topps begin earlier this year posting odds on their website for products, and no longer putting the odds on packs. This is the first time GPK odds have appeared on their website. There are a few surprises with the odds. Some new cards are making their debut. Color Errors are cards that appear to have a different color banner and nameplate and are numbered CE-#. There appears to be a CE card for each “A” name in the set. These are similar to the No Blue Error cards from C5, but based on the odds are much easier to pull this set. Also there are new 1/1 Superfractor Artist Autos in the set! We also now know regular artist autos are numbered /50. The official checklist hasn’t been released, so we aren’t sure how many autos appear in the set. Odds for both Blaster types are slightly different when it comes to the bigger hits in the product. EA Blasters appear to have slightly easier odds than SE Blasters. The big news here is it appears Topps learned their lesson and have corrected the massively incorrect odds from Chrome 5. If the odds show to be correct on cases breaks, it would appear there is a lot less Chrome 6 packs compared to the past couple of chrome releases. After Chrome 5 was heavily printed, it appears there is a fraction of retail C6 packs compared to C5. Hobby packs also appear to be slightly less than C4. Total production appears to be closer to C3 numbers. Much, much less than C5. I will have a detailed article on production in the coming days. Check out the odds for 2023 Garbage Pail Kids Chrome OS 6 below, or click here for the PDF of the odds from Topps.

Topps Reveals Print Run for GPK We Hate the 70’s Week 3

Posted on by

We are at the half way point for the online series based on the 1970’s and it looks like the sales have settled. After ending Thursday, Topps revealed the print run for 2023 Garbage Pail Kids We Hate the 70’s Week 3. The set sold a total of 1,191 copies. While the number is the lowest sales so far of the series, it’s just a handful below the week 2 sales. It would appear that sales will settle right around the 1200 mark. This series hasn’t quite caught the attention of collectors as much as previous six week online series. The coming weeks will see if there are any increases.

Topps Shares Box & Pack Art for 2023 Garbage Pail Kids Chrome OS 6

Posted on by

We are less than a week away from the next GPK Chrome release. Topps was nice enough to share the Blaster Box and Pack art for the upcoming 2023 Garbage Pail Kids Chrome OS 6 set. The wrapper and box feature a purple color scheme. This differs from the original series 6 red box. However, Topps did keep the original pack mascot as Potty Scotty is the main character on the boxes and pack. No other surprises on the box or packs are revealed. The Hobby box art looks much the same, as Blowout Cards updated their listings with the Hobby box image today. It won’t be long, GPKNews has confirmed cases begin shipping from Topps today. GPK Chrome OS 6 is set to officially release next Wednesday, 8/30/23.
