Partial Sell Sheet Info for 2025 Worst of GPK 40th Anniversary

Posted on by

Update: Here is the sell sheet for 2025 Worst of GPK 40th Anniversary set. PDF version is here.

Updste: Topps has posted the official odds to the preorder page this morning. The big news for. The odds sheet is there are Buyback cards at 1:8 packs. As always I’ll have an in depth article looking at production numbers. You can find the odds in PDF here.

Some quick thoughts on the odds and production.

  • Production looks to be just over 26k cases. 4-5x the last Sapphire release. This is much lower than a usual retail release, but higher than your usual online release.
  • Really looks like Topps took a retail set and shoe horned it into a Sapphire distribution model.
  • This product is all about the inserts and hits. Based on early numbers each box will only have 8 base cards! (80) per case. Will take at least 2 cases to make a base set. (Thanks to Ben Siegler for doing early morning math!)
  • It’s easier to pull an Adam Bomb Homahj auto than an Adam Bomb Homahj regular card! This is because Topps needed hits to get to one per box.
  • 1 buyback card per box seems like a lot.
  • There looks to be 1000 GPK Yourself cards. Topps hasn’t revealed how the contest will work yet for that.


This article will be updated with more information as it’s released.

Earlier today we posted about some information Topps shared on their preorder page for 2025 Worst of Garbage Pail Kids 40th Anniversary. Information has slowly been coming out throughout the day.

Two packs per box will have two numbered cards. Each box contains one, “hit”, either an auto, sketch, or printing plate.

Posted on by

It’s been over a month since Topps first announced the next retail set, 2024 Garbage Pail Kids Series 1 Kids At Play, by releasing the retail sell sheet to distributors. With just over three weeks until the scheduled release date, the company today finally released the Hobby sell sheet.

There will once again be Collector boxes, and Retail Display boxes. The Retail Display boxes will also be sold under the “Hobby” label, continuing to confuse collectors and allow companies to charge more money for the same thing. The usual parallels will return. Booger Green parallels can be found one per pack in all retail pack types, while Black parallels can be found one per pack in Collector packs. Blue parallels (/99) are exclusive to Retail Display packs, while Red (/75) will be exclusive to Collector packs. Grey (/199), Fool’s Gold (/50), and Printing Plates (1/1) can be found throughout all pack types. Like 20223S2, there will once again be artist autographs of the base cards in addition to Fool’s Gold autos (/50), and Foilfractor Autos (1/1). The sell sheet also advertises a whopping five exclusive inserts for Collector boxes. The Game Over insert set features iconic video game characters from the 1980’s. Bored of Board Games are new and previous GPK characters in famous board games. Wacky Packages: Playthings will features famous toy and game themed packaging. There will once again be patch cards, as the GPK Scouts Patch Cards will once again be a hit in boxes. The patches also have a number of parallels; Green (/150), Blue (/99), Red (/75), Fool’s Gold (/50), and Foilfractor (1/1). There will also be the GPK “TCG” Cards, these “First Edition” trading cards feature GPK characters that mock TCG cards. The TCG cards will also have Foilfractor (1/1) versions. There is no mention of the insert sets found in the “Hobby” boxes, but the Retail sell sheet does mention the Tom Bunk Let’s Get Physical set that will be found in Retail Display boxes. Sketch cards of course return with regular sketches in Retail Display boxes, while Shaped and Triptych sketches will be in Collector boxes.
