Last week, Topps debuted a new type of Garbage Pail Kids set. The artwork wasn’t a typical GPK, instead photographs of food augmented with faces on them. After ending yesterday, we found out what collectors thought of them. It turns out collectors liked the change. Topps revealed the print run of 2020 Garbage Pail Kids Kitchen to be 725 copies. No doubt this is an excellent sales number for the set. It’s a surprising number given the set was overwhelming panned in online GPK groups. The sales results could have a lasting effect on how Topps moves forward with GPKs. Not only the art, but also the distribution method of limiting “b” names to 1 per set.
