Collector Has Best Ever Pack Experience in Finding Winning Craniacs Redemption

Posted on by

Collecting in this day and age is fueled by community and shared experiences with fellow collectors. More and more new collectors are formed by joining and partaking in breaking platforms like WhatNot and groups on Reddit. GPK collectors have done this for nearly two decades, just with internet message boards and Facebook groups, but these new collecting places are here to stay.

Sam may have a love of coffee houses, but the past couple of years she’s also getting her energy from another type hobby, collecting cards. This Nevada transplant first got the collecting bug with Pokémon as a child in the 90’s. Her childhood collection found its way to another family member as Sam went through college and life. However, just last year, in 2023, Sam would be pulled back into the collecting world. She started by seeing some posts on Reddit for Cardsmith’s Currency Series 1. After joining a subreddit for Currency Series 1, Sam found herself really enjoying being part of that community and watching a new product grow.

Her love of Craniacs happened by chance. While Sam was visiting her parents during Christmas last year, she turned on her favorite WhatNot breaker, Junior at Geekfuel, to show her mom what her new hobby was about. (Yes, that’s the same Junior at Geekfuel that played an important part in the Craniacs Series 0 painting winner.) That night however, Geekfuel wasn’t breaking Currency Series 1, instead they had boxes of Craniacs Series 0. Sam bought a box and found her first ever 1/1, a sketch of Evie. Form that point on she was hooked, “I was floored. I’d never had a 1/1 of anything, ever! And so was born my love of Craniacs.”  Sam went on the buy “many more” boxes of Series 0. A few months later she joined the Craniacs subreddit, and has been trading and collecting ever since.

With the release this past summer of Craniacs Series 1, Sam started with a small preorder of 2 Hobby and 2 Blaster boxes from GPK & Wacky Warehouse. This is where she pulled the only redemption in the set for an original Joe Simko painting from their series. “I seriously still can’t believe my luck. At the time I pulled the card I was in shock, and I still am! It was so much fun opening my first boxes of S1.” These boxes were truly a memorable experience, “Pulling the redemption was THE BEST pack-opening experience I’ve ever had!” After this Sam has gone all in on the series, buying master hobby and blaster cases. After turning in the redemption, excitement set in, “I was so anxious for the painting to arrive. I was so happy when I opened the package and saw Libby staring back at me!” Sam has plans to get the painting framed and hung in her house.

Sam has since also started a Garbage Pail Kids Collection this year, thanks to Geekfuel. These communities are proving to be how younger adults become attracted to collecting in this post Covid world. Being able to meet fellow collectors and share like experiences is invaluable, “Nothing can beat having a relatively small group of internet strangers that you trust and can confidently trade cards with! It’s so much fun! I’ve also made some pretty great friends along the way!” After the successful release of Craniacs Series 1, the company has no plans on slowing down. Initial work has begun on Craniacs Series 2, and plans are full steam ahead on a production deal with Titmouse for an animated series. Sam will be a fan for life, “I see myself collecting Craniacs for many years to come. I’m really curious and excited to see how the animated series turns out. I genuinely love the trading card community and the friends I have made along the way, and I won’t be leaving any time soon!”

What Collectors Will Find at October Philly Non-Sports Show

Posted on by

The 81st Philly Non-Sports Card Show is just one month away. Once again, the show will have a GPK feel to it! The show is set to take place October 26 & 27 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center. The final artist lineup is now set after a recent change. Long time final GPK card artist Smokin Joe McWilliams will be at the show sharing and selling both GPK art and his own unique creations. Joining him will be GPK sketch artist Lily Mercado. Lily is now a veteran GPK sketch artist, having worked on sets for nearly 10 years now. While the other two artists might not be familiar to GPK collectors, they do have hobby ties. Jason Brower did sketch work for one GPK set back in 2015, and while he isn’t quite official yet, collectors might just get to see some GPK sketch work from Vincent Rappa very soon.

GPK promo cards have become a tradition at the Philly show. Neil Camera created an Adam Bomb x Adams Family mashup card for the show. Card 1a, Adam’s Family, will be given to show goers with paid admission while supplies last. There will also be a 1b version of the card that will be given away to attendees of the traditional Saturday night dinner. Collectors can check to see if there are any spots left at the dinner by emailing [email protected]. There will also be a Wacky Packages promo card, (Artwork Neil Camera/Concept Peter Zies), that will be given to show goers while supplies last.

This show is a must for GPK collectors on the east coast looking to meet their favorite artists, add to their collection, and mingle with their fellow collectors. Single day tickets for the show are $12, while a two day pass can be purchased for $20. The show will be open Saturday 10/26 from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM, and Sunday 10/27 from 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM. More information can be found at the Philly Non-Sports Card Show’s website.

Topps Files for GPK Trademark Focusing on Multimedia Goods

Posted on by

File this one under the very interesting category, *eyesemoji*. The “Hobby’s Lawyer”, Paul Lesko, reported today via his twitter account that Topps this week filed for a new trademark for “GPK”. The trademark filing focuses on three things; multimedia goods based on animated characters, clothing, and entertainment services based on fictional characters. While trademarks don’t guarantee any future product announcements by a company, they can certainly give a glimpse into what Topps might be working on with it comes to GPK. As Lesko writes, “Garbage Pail Kids fans, read into that what you will.”

 

Topps Reveals GPK Bowman Chrome Checklist, Adds Cards to Mega Boxes

Posted on by

Topps today begin preorders for 2024 Bowman Chrome Baseball Mega boxes via Topps.com. With that came new information and reveals about the Garbage Pail Kids cards included in the set. While Topps didn’t reveal odds for GPK Bowman cards on their Hobby odds sheet, they did for Mega Box odds. Base cards show as 1:200 Mega packs. There are also different parallel versions offered in Mega boxes, compared to Hobby boxes. Collectors will have the chance to pull Orange Mojo /25 (1:841), Red Mojo /5 (1:4,205), and Black Mojo 1/1 (1:20,293). Mojo parallels appear to have different patterns on them compared to Chrome parallels according to past year’s set examples.

Topps also revealed the GPK Bowman checklist for the first time. There will be 23 players included as GPK characters. There doesn’t appear to be a/b versions. In an odd choice, Topps lists the players by their real name on the checklist and not by their GPK name.

Based on reported odds and information from Topps, I’ve been able to figure out print run info for Hobby and Mega boxes. What we don’t yet know is if there are additional box types for Bowman Chrome Baseball and if GPK cards will be included in them. Here is a quick break down of each box type announced so far by Topps with print runs based on odds supply by Topps.
