Despite ending last week, Topps finally has revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids We Hate the 80’s Expansion Set Week 6. The set sold a total of 1,133 copies. Those sales totals are the lowest for the final set in the six week series. The reasons for lower sales could be numerous. Topps didn’t promote the set in social media or via their email blasts as much as they did previous sets. Collectors have also had a very expensive last couple of months with multiple card and merchandise releases. There will be a few weeks off now until the next expansion series launches. In the meantime Topps has other online releases planned.

GPKs with Beer are back! Today Topps launched 2022 Garbage Pail Kids Taste Buds Series 2. The set is the second series that celebrates craft breweries from around the world and turns them into GPKs.

The 40 card set once again features 20 breweries with a/b versions. There is no mention of a checklist card, like with Series 1.
