Info on Topps Digital Food Fight Redemption/Winter Con Releases

Posted on by

Topps Digital will be all about the Food Fight this week. To coordinate with Topps physical release, Topps Digital is making huge steps forward in luring collectors to digital GPKs. For the first time, boxes of 2021 Series 1 Garbage Pail Kids Food Fight physical cards contain redemption cards for WAX Blockchain GPK Packs. Each boxed product, Blasters, Retail Display, and Collector Boxes contain one redemption card. Redemption cards can also be found 1:4 Fat Packs. Redemption cards feature the artwork of GPK artist Nik Castaneda, who previously did artwork for the digital OS 2 set and also did sketch cards in the physical set. The back of the card features a scratch off code and instructions for redeeming. Collectors who pull a redemption can redeem the code at https://play.toppsapps.com/redeem. New collectors to the WAX Blockchain can create a new account and WAX wallet at the site as well. There doesn’t appear to be an expiration date on the redemption card. The redemption website officially launches on 2/24.

Each redemption code can be redeemed for a 3 card pack of Garbage Pail Kids Food Fight. The cards in the digital set are different from the physical cards. The digital set contains 11 new pieces of artwork all done by Nik Castaneda. Redemption packs contain 3 “a” cards from the all new digital set. The cards are available in five different rarities. Collectors have the chance to pull Base, Prism, Sketch, Artist Autograph, and Golden. Cards are on the Atomic Assets NFT standard and packs can be opened and cards viewed at the Atomic Hub website. The first 10,000 redemption packs will be pre-minted. This will enable more collectors to have the chance at pulling low minted cards. Any redemptions after 10,000 will be minted on demand.

You may be asking yourself, if I can get the “a” cards from redemption packs, how do I get the “b” names. The answer lies in this week’s Topps Digital Winter Con 2021. Winter Con is scheduled to take place 2/25-2/28, and is completely virtual. During those dates, Topps will be offering 3 card packs for sale. Packs will be on sale during the Con. Each day of the Con there will be 2,450 packs available for sale. The launch time varies each day, collectors will want to attend Topps Winter Con to find out the release times on a daily basis. The packs will only be able to be purchased via credit card. Packs purchased at Winter Con contain 3 “b” cards, with collectors having the same chance to pull five different versions; Base, Prism, Sketch, Artist Autograph, and Golden. Unlike the redemption packs, the Winter Con packs will not be pre-minted. The first packs opened will receive low mints.

Retail Odds for 2021 Series 1 Garbage Pail Kids Food Fight

Posted on by

2021 Series 1 Garbage Pail Kids Food Fight doesn’t officially release until 2/24, but that hasn’t stopped some stores from putting them out early. Thanks to collector gpkkilla for sending along the odds for the refrigerator tins he found at Walmart. Thanks for collector Jake Schaaf for sending the odd along for the Retail Display packs. Once again, in keeping with Topps “math”, the odds are overstated by double on the packs. Just like the 35th series, inexplicably, the odds for the green parallels are listed as 1:2 in packs, when each pack comes with 1 green. Yellows are also overstated by double as this collector pulled 2 in his tins. I imagine the odds will be double on all parallels, but we will need more breaks to confirm. Production appears to be very high, and near or even exceeding the 35th anniversary. Odds for plates and panoramic sketches are very long. Gold odds are actually harder than the 35th. One big disappointment is the odds for Loaded Sketches do not appear on the box like they usually do. GPKNews will reach out to Topps for confirmation the Loaded Sketches were inserted. Finally, the 1 per box redemption for a pack of digital GPKs on the WAX Blockchain features the artwork of Nik Castaneda, who did the art for the digital cards. As of press time the website to redeem the digital cards has not been activated by Topps. Odds for Fat Packs  will be added to this article once we get them.

Posted on by

During today’s Topps Digital Digicast on Twitch, it was announced there will be a new Garbage Pail Kids Food Fight digital set with packs for sale on WAX during next week’s Topps Winter Con 21. Not a lot of details were shared about the upcoming set. Packs will be available and sold on the WAX Blockchain during every day of the Winter Con, scheduled for 2/25-2/28. These packs are separate from the redemption codes that will be inserted into boxes and packs of physical GPK Food Fight Packs. There is sure to be much more information in the coming days.

Topps Reveals Print Run for Garbage Pail Kids Funny Valentines

Posted on by

GPK Collectors showed the love last week for this year’s Valentines set. Topps today revealed the print run for 2021 On-Demand Set #1 Garbage Pail Kids Funny Valentines. The set sold a total of 1700 copies. Those sales numbers make it the highest selling Valentines set so far, but falls below many of the GPK On Demand sets sold last year. Of course the sales numbers were limited by Topps based on the available sketch cards. The set sold out in just over two hours after launch, so the demand was there for more sets to be offered. Topps may have had a hard time getting sketch artists as many were busy with other projects. Based on the print run, there will be 850 sketches for the series. Topps has confirmed with GPKNews that there 16 artists that did sketches for the set. They are Jasmine Contois (77), Greg Treize (50), Darrin Pepe (60), Brandhen Snyder (70), Nik Castaneda (50), Daniel Contois (77), Vincenzo d’Ippolito (70), Bobby Blakey (53), Gavin Williams (75), Anthony Skubis (?), Chris Meeks (50), Neil Camera (?), Dave Dabila (?), Rich Molinelli (?), Lowell Isaac (?), and Robert Jimenez (40). That only accounts for approximately 720 sketches, so there are still 2-3 artists missing from the list. As for the print run of the inserts and parallels, there will be 340 complete 10 card Valentine’s Cards Insert sets. There will also be 161 Red Heart parallels sets, and 80 Black Heart parallel sets.

Topps Reveals Print Run for Garbage Pail Kids Zoom Mishaps

Posted on by

It would appear cats aren’t quite as popular as GameStop. After ending earlier today, Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Zoom Mishaps. The set sold a total of 776 copies. This was well off the massive sales of the previous pop culture GameStonk set released a couple of weeks ago. Despite sales not reaching those heights, the numbers still equate to a very strong GPK set. With Topps unable to strike lightning twice, it will be interesting to see how often the pop culture sets appear in the coming months.
