Update: Topps has released a revised sales number for the week two 2025 GPK Oh the Horror-ible set. Sales for the set ended up at 2,538. This number makes a lot more sense. There is always a drop from week 1, just not as drastic as first thought.

What a difference a week makes. After ending yesterday, Topps has revealed the print run for 2025 Garbage Pail Kids Oh the Horror-ible week 2.Total sales for the week were 1,892. There was a huge drop off in sales from week 1. After selling over over 3400 sets in week one, sales were down 44%. Sales for week 2 were lower than any week of Horror-ible sets from last year. Why the huge drop off? It could have been the lure of a chance at getting the Adam Bomb short print card in week one. Topps also did zero promotion for the set in daily emails and socials posts for the week 2 set. It will be fascinating to see how sales progress throughout the remaining weeks.
