Topps jumped quickly on the 2016 presidential election debate that happened Monday night. Card #1 was a huge hit with fans, selling a massive 1196 copies. Now today Topps revealed the print run for cards 2-5 that were available for 24 hours on their topps.com store. Sales did not match those of card #1. The highest selling card was Chucklin’ Clinton at 410 copies. Despite only doing 1/3 of the sales as card #1, the numbers were still higher than most of he recent online sets. Look for Topps to continue the Disg-Race to the White House set as the election draws near. Here are the print runs as revealed on Topps.com:

#2 – Drippy Donald – 399
#3 – Desperado Donald – 391
#4 – 400 lb. Hack Earl – 345
#5 – Chucklin’ Clinton – 410

Just two days after the first presidential debate, Topps has taken some of the “big” moments from the debate and turned them into GPKs. After the wildly successful card #1, Topps is extending the Garbage Paul Kids Disg-Race to the White House set by offering cards 2-5 on their topps.com store. As with card #1, each card can be purchased for $9.99 each or in lots of 5 for $29.99, 10 for $49.99, or 20 for $79.99. However, this time a new bundle option of all four cards can be purchased for $29.99. The cards are available for 24 hours. Topps said they would reveal the print run after the sale ends. Here are pictures of the new cards available.

Topps released print run information today for the first Garbage Pail Kids Disg-Race to the White House card. Card #1 sold a huge 1196 copies during the 24 hours it was available on topps.com store. The sale becomes the most successful selling online exclusive card to date besting the first Donald Trump offering from the Iowa Caucus set. While Topps hasn’t yet released any additional GPK Dicg-Race cards they have released 3 separate debate cards under the Topps Banner. Those cards along with the GPK one have been placed on their website under the 2016 Election banner, print run information will be posted for each card at the bottom of that section of their site. I’m sure its just a manner of time before the next GPK election themed card will be up for sale.

Topps began their Print on Demand initiative earlier this year by selling Garbage Pail Kids sets exclusively online. From there Topps has launched Print on Demand products across multiple brands. Probably their most successful so far has been Topps Now, which celebrates baseball highlights everyday with new cards sold individually. It looks like Topps has decided to go that route now with GPK as today Topps launched Garbage Pail Kids Disg-Race to the White House Card #1. The new cards are not labeled as part of the American Pie or Trashy TV set, but instead on their own with the date the card was for sale printed on the back. No word yet on how many cards Topps is planning to produce as part of the set, but they setup a separate section on their website for the GPK 2016 Election. Similar to Topps Now the more copies of the card you buy the cheaper they are. Single cards can be purchased for $9.99, while multiple copies of the same crd can be bought for; 5 for $29.99, 10 for $49.99, or 20 for $79.99. Free shipping is offered when selecting the SmartPost option. The card is only available for 24 hours. Like with other online releases Topps says they will release print run info at the end of the sale.
