Error Card Spotted in eBay x Garbage Pail Kids Set
Collectors begin receiving their eBay x Garbage Pail Kids sets in the mail this weekend. One collector, Christopher Lanberg, was surprised to see both the 2a and 2b cards have the same name, Messy Tessi. However, later another collector, James Westley, posted his set and his 2a card had the correct name, Leaky Lindsay. It’s still early, so it’s not known yet how wide spread the error card is. Topps has seen numerous printing issues with online sets the last year. They’ve had to reprint and ship a number of corrected cards. Topps tells GPKNews anyone who has the error and wants to request a replacement should contact the Topps Vault store via eBay. Thanks to Christopher and James for the pictures!
