Topps Reveals Print Run for GPK Network Spews #87

After coming out strong for Transformers, collectors stayed away when it comes to gorillas. Today Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Network Spews #87. The card was the only GPK released on Tuesday. Topps has brought the focus back to Wacky Packages the last couple of weeks. Artist Michael Barnard’s parody of a recent viral video of an gorilla playing in a kiddie pool just didn’t resonate with collectors finishing fell under 100 copies sold. The Wacky Packages sold that sam day also finished low in sales. It will be interesting to see if the low sales trend continues as the week marches on. Here is how the lone card from Tuesday finished.

Announcing the GPKNews Artist Directory!

I launched a new feature to the website this evening, GPKNews Artist Directory. My goal was to showcase every artists that’s credited with working on a card front, card back, or sketch for a Garbage Pail Kid card.

I spent many hours searching for websites, e-mail address (I’ve only included publicly available e-mail addresses), Facebook, FB Pages, Twitter, and Instragram accounts. There are other lists out there but they aren’t as complete as this one. My hope is this will be a one stop shop for collectors to find artists to not only contract out for commissions, but also purchase what the artists have available. All these artist could use collector support!

If you have any feedback to the new feature, please let me know or comment in this post. Thanks for your continued support of the website. I hope everyone enjoys the new feature.

Topps Reveals Print Run for GPK Trumpocracy #33-#35

The results are in for Wednesday’s online GPK cards and sales came in lower. Today Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Trumpocracy 2017 cards #33-#35. After taking a week off from the political cards, the question would be if collectors would come to purchase after the break. That ended up not being the case. All three cards finished just barely over the 100 card mark. However, sales are expected to rebound a bit with Thursday’s offer of a Transformers parody. Here are how the cards from Wednesday ended up.
