The run up to the presidential election certainly had collectors excited. Topps today revealed the final print run for Garbage Pail Kids Disg-Race to the White House cards #58-#63. This election day six card set continued to focus on current events leading up to the election, and including election day. While this was the 6th release in the last nine days, collectors still continued to purchase the cards. Sales for this release were higher than the previous releases in past couple of week. All cards were in the high 300’s, with a couple into the mid-400’s. It will be interesting to see how the post election release sales number come out. Here is the final print run information for the election day release.

Maybe GPK collectors had it right all along? Consistently throughout the release of exclusive online presidential election sets, the cards based on Donald Trump have outsold those based on Hillary Clinton. Now we have the sticker featuring a victorious President-Elect Donald Trump. Today Topps launched Garbage Pail Kids Disg-Race to the White House cards #64-66. GPK artists Brent Engstrom and Joe Simko pre-painted winning and losing cards for each candidate prior to election day. Today we see the winning Trump, and the losing Clinton versions. In addition we also get a Trump card featuring his supporters during the election. Joe Simko made reference yesterday on his Facebook page that today’s cards would mark the end of the Disg-Race series from Topps. While no official word has come from Topps yet, a break from these cards would be welcomed. Today marks the 7th release in the last ten days. I fully expect Topps to at the very least do something around inauguration day in January.

Each of today’s cards can be purchased for $9.99 or in lots of 5 for $29.99, 10 for $49.99, or 20 for $79.99. A three card bundle featuring every card can be purchased for $24.99. Free shipping is being offered via the SmartPost option. The cards will be for sale via topps.com for 24 hours. Topps will reveal the print run of the cards at the end of the sale. Here are pictures of the new cards being offered today.
