Update 8/1/24: Topps has finally released the list of participating hobby stores that will take part of Trading Card Day. The list is posted at their Ripped Blog page, or you can click here for the PDF file.
While Topps hasn’t shared the checklist yet. They did share with GPKNews, 15 images of GPK cards in the set. All 15 feature artwork from Kids At Play. See pictures below. I’ll update this article with the checklist once it’s released.
This year’s 2024 Topps Trading Card Day is scheduled for this Saturday, 8/3/2024. It appears Garbage Pail Kids will once again be part of the promotion. Information has been scarce from Topps on this year’s promotion. While the company has a page on their website, it hasn’t been updated with participating stores, checklist, or any other information like in year’s past.
It does appear Topps is making a few changes to the program this year. Gone is the “International” title that had been part of the day in years past. Customers going into their local hobby stores can once again receive a free pack of cards. This year there are only three options, MLB, Bowman U Football, and Garbage Pail Kids. Dave & Adam’s card store appears to have received some information on this year’s promotion. They had three different sample images of GPK cards. It appears Topps is using art from 2024 GPK Kids At Play set. Examples include Pac Manuel, Buster Balloon, and Hungry Henry. There isn’t any additional information on the set including checklist, SP inserts or autos.
GPKNews has reached out to Topps for more info. If we hear back this article will be updated. Until more info is shared by Topps, start planning your Saturday route now! Call your local stores and see if they are participating!
