The return of the political GPKs saw sales increase from the previous set. Today Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Disg-Race to the White House Set 7 Last Man Standing. The set sold a total of 1,307 copies. This is up almost 300 over the previous political set almost a month ago. Collectors can expect to see more political sets as the election nears.

With Topps retail production being out of commission due to coronavirus, the focus has turned to online sets. Therefore, Topps has brought back the political sets, just three weeks after they were, “taking a break”. Today Topps launched Garbage Pail Kids Disg-Race to the White House Set 7 The Last Man Standing. The 10 card set features 5 new paintings with a/b versions. Each set can be purchased for $19.99 or in a lot of 10 for $179.99. Shipping is free when choosing the SmartPost option. The set will be on sale for 7 days on topps.com. Topps will reveal the print run at the end of the sale. Here is the checklist along with pictures of the cards.

The last political GPK set for a while saw a large drop in sales from previous sets. Today, Topps revealed the print run for GPK Disg-Race to the White House Set 6 Presidential Dropouts. The set sold a total of 1,062 copies. This is a large drop from all the previous sets in the series. The nearly 40% drop in sales makes this the lowest selling of the presidential sets. With that being said, over 1000 in sales are still really good results for Topps. It remains to be seen if the reason for lower sales was due to collectors reducing their spending or tiring of the political sets. Topps will take a break from political sets for a bit while the country handles the coronavirus pandemic.

After the last political set ended earlier today, Topps officially revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Disg-Race to the White House Set 5: Presidential Nicknames. The set sold a total of 1,687 copies. This is a bounce back after set 4 sold just over 1300 copies. This set is the 3rd highest selling online set to date. Once again collectors continue to be out in full force for online GPKs despite a troubled economy and coronavirus concerns. The set listed this week is going to be the last one for a while as Topps waits for coronavirus events to subside. Topps does have a new online set in the works, set to debut next week.

Now that the democratic field has whittled down to just two, Topps is celebrating those who have dropped out. Today Topps launched Garbage Pail Kids Disg-Race to the White House Set 6: Presidential Dropouts. This 12 card set features 6 new paintings with a/b versions. The art for the set was done by Chris Meeks (#29), Neil Camera (#30-#32), and Rory McQueen (#33-#34). This marks the debut on final art for veteran GPK sketch artist Rory McQueen. Each set can be purchased for $24.99 or in a 10 set lot for $124.99. Shipping is free when choosing the Smart Post option. The set will be on sale for 7 days on topps.com. Topps will reveal the print run at the end of the sale. All indications are this will be the last political set for a while. This won’t end the political series, but instead Topps is putting a hold on it until the presidential race heats back up after the coronavirus starts to clear up. Never fear though, Topps has additional GPK online sets in the works. Here is a checklist and pictures for the newest set.
