Sadly for Topps, this year’s Worst set saw the worst online GPK sales of the year. Sales for this year were very underwhelming for Topps. 2022’s set sold many multiple times in sales for each card compared to this year’s set. Collectors didn’t seem to gravitate towards the gags chosen for this year’s set. Collectors also didn’t care for the individual card sales used for the worst set. 2024 is set to bring another year full of a variety of online GPK offers.

We’ve reached the final day of launches for the set that shows the worst in pop culture this year. Today Topps launched Garbage Pail Kids 2023 Was the Worst cards #9-#11. Today’s cards ends the week long launches to finish the set at 11 card. Collectors who purchase have a 1:5 chance at receiving a Sad Face parallel card.
