Topps Delays 2021S2 Garbage Pail Kids Vacation Into 2022

Posted on by

Topps has yet again delayed 2021 Series 2 Garbage Pail Kids GPK Goes on Vacation. Collectors will now have to wait until next year to rip new packs. Topps officially lists the release date as “January TBD”. This is the same date Topps shows for GPK Chrome OS 4. Large online card dealers like Blowout Cards and Steel City have updated their listings showing a date of 1/26/22. When Topps lists a set as “TBD” it generally means they are unable to determine exactly when the set will release. When it comes to 2021S2 Vacation the newest delay is a surprise as artists signed and returned their autographed cards a few weeks ago. Artists still have not received cards to sign for Chrome 4, putting a January date in doubt. This is the third delay for 2021S2 Vacation. The set was originally set to release in Sept., then Nov. 24 , next was Dec. 15, finally the latest delay into 2022. It will end up being nearly one year between releases for GPK collectors.
