Second Error Surfaces for GPK 2019 Was the Worst Card #20

Posted on by

Collectors who ordered card #20, Announcing Adam, got a surprise this morning as they begin receiving emails for a new order from Topps for a reprint of the card. The first version of the card was sent out with just 2019 Was The Worst on the back instead of the checklist as advertised. Topps is correcting these errors and shipping a new version of the card with the checklist on the back. Topps has confirmed with GPKNews that everyone who ordered #20 will be getting the updated card with the checklist. This isn’t the first card from the set Topps has had to fix. Card #7 was printed initially with the incorrect image and name. Topps also sent out replacements for those cards.

Topps Reveals Print Run for GPK 2019 Was the Worst #17-#20

Posted on by

What better to go with you Christmas evening than some print runs? Sometime over the last couple of days, Topps finally posted the final print run numbers for Garbage Pail Kids 2019 Was the Worst cards #17-#20. After a couple of days with lower numbers, the final four cards rebounded with card #20 doing really well. The results of the last four are:

  • #17 Wrinkled Rita 543
  • #18 Skip Trip 530
  • #19 Lost Lunch Landy 587
  • #20 Announcing Adam 802

#17-#19 results bounced back to those of many of the cards from the set, solidly in the mid-500’s. While card #20 doing just over 800 sold made it the second best selling card of the set. Topps’ first online daily GPK set in years proved to be very successful. Topps will surely revisit daily sets in 2020 now, the question is will they burn out collectors by going overboard?

However, the collector received #7, but the card is actually the Bottle Cap Chad card. Chad was sold as card #16. GPKNews has reached out to Topps for comment on the error, This article will be updated if they respond.

Topps Reveals Print Run for GPK 2019 Was the Worst #13-#16

Posted on by

Earlier Thursday, Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids 2019 Was the Worst #13-#16. The cards launched on Tues/Wed of this week continued to see sales drop, with two down into the 400’s. The results of the four were:

  • #13 – Outer Ace 487
  • #14 – Mobile Mark 555
  • #15 – Big House Becky 533
  • #16 – Bottle Cap Chad 486

All four cards are in the bottom 5 in sales for the set, with Chad now being the lowest. Sales have clearly dropped as the week has gone one. The question is why? Is it two cards being offered per day? Are collectors tiring of the daily GPKs? Its probably a good idea Topps is stopping the set at 20 cards.
