If there’s only one online set you purchase from Topps, ever, this is the one. Today Topps launched the Jay Lynch Garbage Pail Kids & Wacky Packages Tribute Set. This 11 card set features six GPK cards and five Wacky packages painted by 11 different artists. The set consists of former Lynch gags that have been repainted by these artists. On there website Topps says the profits from the sale of the sets will go to Lynch, who is dealing with some health issues. All the current GPK artists have a painting in the set, including the returns to Tom Bunk, James Warhola, and Jeff Zapata to GPK cards. The cards can only be purchased as a set for $64.99. Free shipping is being offered via the SmartPost option. The set will be available for 28 days on topps.com. Topps said they will reveal the print run at the end of the sale.
