Each set also comes with one light blue parallel card. The set can be purchased for $19.99 each or in a lot of 10 for $179.99. Shipping is free when choosing the SmartPost option. The set will be available on Topps.com for 7 days. Topps will reveal the print run at the end of the sale. Here is the checklist and pictures of the cards.

The Covid pandemic launched a huge demand for trading card products. Manufactures continue to have a hard time finding printers who are able to meet that demand. Artists are expected to receive and sign their autographed cards soon, hopefully a sign the set has been printed, and will shortly enter the pack out process. There is no word yet if 2021 Chrome OS 4 will also see a release date change. The set is still officially scheduled to release 12/31/21.

Garbage Pail Kids Nifty Kids Sales Info, Re-roll Announced

Posted on by

After the 48 hour sales window ended, the sales results are in for Garbage Pail Kids Nifty Kids NFTs. A total of 2,396 Nifty Kids packs were distributed during the event. There were originally 10,000 packs made available for the sale. Not all packs were sold as the company distributed a number of free packs to makeup for an early error during the event.

During the opening hours of the sale an error in attributes was spotted by collectors. The attributes were reversed on the NFT and did not match the picture or ID of the Nifty Kid character. Raredrop was able to identify and resolve the problem pretty quickly, and packs opened up later in the day were correct. Anyone who opened a pack and received an “error” Nifty Kid was automatically airdropped a free pack for each error they opened. The following day the company launched a “fix it” button for collectors who want their Nifty Kid corrected. The button burns the error NFT and issues a new corrected Nifty Kid with a new ID.

After the sale ended, Raredrop and Topps announced they would be launching a Re-roll feature to anyone who has opened a Nifty Kid. The feature will give collectors the option to turn in their current Nifty Kid and be issued a new one from the random generator. They Re-roll event will remain open until all the remaining 7,604 Nifty Kids have been issued. Topps has not yet released the time when the Re-roll event will begin.
