The ABC’s of GPK Coloring Book Sells Out

Posted on by

Two weeks ago Topps posted their first online Garbage Pail Kids product of 2019. The ABC’s of GPK Coloring book features 26 pages of classic characters to color. In addition each book comes with one A is For Adam card, either with a green, pink, or gold border. The lure of an Adam Bomb themed card proved popular with collectors as the product sold out on topps.com a few days ago. Customers attempting to order the product the last few days were met with no, “add to cart” option on the product page. The new Topps website design made it difficult to tell if the product was sold out. Now that the sale is over Topps revealed that the print run of the coloring book is 1000 copies. There was no mention of a breakdown yet of how many green, pink, or gold A is for Adam cards were produced. However, Topps must have had a breakdown of each border available, as there would be no other reason to limit an “on demand” offering. Surely by selling out there will be a coloring book #2 in the future.

Topps Reveals Print Run for 80th Anniversary GPK OS 1 Wrapper Card

Posted on by

As part of their 80th anniversary, Topps has launched a year long online set focused on wrapper reprints of Topps sets through the year. Last week GPK made their first appearance with a wrapper based off of OS 1 from 1985. Today Topps revealed the print run for the 80th Anniversary Wrapper Art Card #23 1985 Garbage Pail Kids. In a bit of a surprise sales of the GPK card smashed sales records for the set. According to Topps the card sold 969 copies. With 24 cards so far released in the set, the card becomes the highest selling card to date. The previous highest card, was card #1, 1966 Batman, that sold 707 copies. What do these results tell Topps? Does it show there’s a large following for classic GPK stuff? Could it mean additional GPK wrapper cards will make an appearance later in the set? Would Topps use these results to change their minds on a product like Chrome OS 3? Lots of interesting questions for Topps with sales results such as these.
