Sales ended yesterday on Topps.com for the 5th online Presidential Candidates, and 8th American As Apple Pie online exclusive set, April Primaries. This time around Topps with with a 48 hour window for the five subject, ten card set. As promised Topps posted the print run information via their Topps Blog. Once again Donald Trump comes out on top.

Donald Trump: 288
Hillary Clinton: 276
Ted Cruz: 270
Bernie Sanders: 270
Josh Kasich: 269

Despite being on sale for 48 hours, this is the smallest of the print runs for the Presidential Candidate online sets Topps has offered. This is right in line with the entertainment themed sets. Topps has promised they will continue offering Presidential Candidates on through the election. Only a matter of time before the Vice President candidates get included.

Topps was busy with their Garbage Pail Kids today. After sending out information on the next retail GPK release, they launched their 5th Presidential Candidates online exclusive set. This time around Topps is calling the set, April Primaries. There are 5 subjects in this set each having a/b cards for a total of 10 cards in the set. As before you can purchase individual 2 card sets for $9.99 each or the entire 10 card set for $29.99. As an added bonus Topps is offering free shipping on the sets for a limited time.

This time around Topps says the cards will be on sale for 48 hours. They stated they would announce the print run on their Topps Blog after the end of the sale. The April Primaries set is being sold along side the Hall of Lame set which remains on sale until the Rock and Roll HOF special airs on HBO on 4/30. See below for checklist and images.

Yesterday Topps official Facebook page teased a GPK announcement for today. Many people were hoping for Chrome OS 3, and expecting the next full GPK set. However, Topps went in another direction and announced the online exclusive Rock and Roll Hall of Lame set. Like the previous Not-Scars and Shammys sets the cards are only available online. The 20 card set features GPK parodies of various music acts. The 10 different subjects are available in separate 2 card a/b sets for $9.99, while the entire 20 card set can be purchased for $49.99.

There is some confusion as to how long the cards will be offered. The cards for Rick Carlos state they will be on sale until May 2nd, while the remaining cards sate they will be on sale until the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame special airs on HBO, which is scheduled for April 30th. This is a change from how Topps has previous been selling the Apple Pie online sets usually giving a 24 hour window. However like the previous sets Topps states the print run will be announced via their Topps Blog.

As with the previous posters you can purchase the base white border version for $19.99 each or they also have special 1 of 1 Gold Border versions available for $99.99. Many of the gold versions have already been snapped up by collectors.

The Topps GPK brand manager, Mark Von Ohlen, posted via Twitter today that there is another Presidential Candidates set coming this Tuesday with new art.

For those wondering how long Topps will be producing these special sets, the brand manager stated in Twitter comments that Topps would be following the election all year.

@ChrisPirillo an all-new sticker set to align to the Tuesday primary. We’ll be following this train wreck of an election all year!
