Tiger King mania is still out there, but might be in the decline. Today Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Gone Exotic 2. This is the second set based on the popular Netflix documentary. The sequel sold a total of 1,378 copies. While that’s a great number for an online GPK set, it’s down nearly 2000 from the first set. The first one set a GPK online sales record. Topps didn’t promote the second set nearly as much, and there was less online media sites that picked it up.

Topps Reveals Print Run for Garbage Pail Kids Video Set #3 GPK Rocks
After selling for the past month the sales are in for the latest set based on the GPK animated videos. Today Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Video Series Set #3 GPK Rocks. The set sold a total of 348 copies. This is down quite a bit from the previous two video sets. The card set is not a typical GPK set, but instead still shots from the animated videos.

However, things seemed to have slowed down with GPK Rocks being the only video released since mid-Feb. Topps has not hinted yet when the next video will launch.
Some Garbage Pail Kids Gone Exotic Sets Printed Incorrectly
Collectors began receiving their Garbage Pail Kids Gone Exotic sets in the mail this week. However what they saw, wasn’t as expected. The first sets to be opened up had a set of cards with blank backs, and another set of cards with blank fronts. This odd error appears to only happen with sets that were shipped first. Collectors opening up sets later in the week confirmed their cards were printed correctly. GPKNews reached out to Topps for comment on the error. According to a Topps spokesperson, the problem was not wide spread. Collectors who didn’t receive the correct set can contact Topps customer service to request a replacement. There is no word on exactly how many error sets were printed by Topps. Based on posts online it appears most of the error sets were shipped to European collectors. These error sets will surely fetch a premium price on the secondary market.
