It’s October, and that means the Horrible is back. Topps today began teasing their next online sets, 2024 Garbage Pail Kids Oh the Horrible. The yearly tradition that has been very popular with collectors is set to return this Thursday. Topps will offer 6 weeks of sets featuring characters based off of popular horror movies. All artwork will once again be done by Brent Engstrom and David Gross. Each week’s set will contain 10 cards, 5 characters with a/b variations. Each set purchased will come with either a B&W Wrapper or Gold Foil /25 Wrapper Card. Sets will launch every Thursday, with the first one set for this Thursday, 10/3, on Topps.com. Pricing was not be revealed yet by the company. GPK collectors get ready, your horror fix is almost here.

Update: Let’s take a Quick Look at the production numbers for this one.

• 60 cards in set * /25 green foils = 1500 total green foils + 60 Hex Fractor = 1560 total foils
• Relics are 1:4 boxes, that makes foils 3:4 boxes. That equates to 520 total relics + 1560 foils = 2080 total boxes or 10,400 total packs.

If there are 2080 boxes here are some interesting numbers for some of the cards:

• Hex Fractor 2080 boxes / 60 total Hex’s = 1:34.6 per box odds. Nice odds for a 1/1
• Celebrity Wrapper 2080 total wrappers / 5 subjects = 416 of each Wrapper card
• Character Variations 2080 boxes / 16 odds = 130 total variations / 5 subjects = 26 each Character Variation
• C Names 2080 boxes * 2 odds – 130 variations = 4030 total C Names / 30 subjects = 134.3 each C Name
• Base Cards 10,040 packs * 7 per pack = 72,800 total base cards / 60 subjects = 1,213.3 each base card.
