Would sales on the latest release of Trump cards rebound after a disappointing day 2? Today Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Trumpocracy – The First 100 Days cards #9-#13. The third release this week of president cards saw very similar numbers to the previous day. Sales were slightly higher for the GPK cards, but all hung around the 200 range. In an attempt to boots bundle sales Topps added Wacky Packages to the set for the first time, instead of including them in the Wacky set that was launched earlier this week. This sales didn’t materialize as the Wacky cards saw sales stay in the mid-200’s. There is however plenty of time for Topps to work on rebounding sales, still 92 days left in that first 100 days. Here are the final print run numbers.

#9 – Defunding Donald – 216
#10 – Discarding Donald – 214
#11 – Devastating Devos – 196
#12 – Take-A-Me & Go (Wacky) – 254
#13 – Trump’s Duplicake Mix – 272

Day two of the Trumpocracy was not quite as successful as the first day. Today Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Trumpocracy – The First 100 Days cards #6-#8. After a very successful first day of sales, things came crashing down in day two. Two of the GPK cards finished under 200 in sales, with the other card just over 200. The Wacky Packages cards finished much lower as well in the mid 200’s. This might explain why the Wacky cards were added into the Trumpocracy set for the third day of sales, in an attempt to boost sales by selling bundles. It will be very interesting to see sales numbers as the new sets progress. Here are the print run numbers for the second Trumpocracy release.

#6 – Masked Melania – 226
#7 – Treasury Trump – 193
#8 – Pricey Tom – 193

Topps looks to be sticking with their usual GPK online release schedule with the new sets. Today Topps launched Garbage Pail Kids Trumpocracy – The First 100 Days cards #9-#13. Today’s cards feature three GPK cards, and two Wacky Packages cards. It looks like Topps is now going with the same route they took with the Disg-Race set, and mix in Wacky Packages as part of the set. I don’t know if they’ve abandoned the Wacky Packages Alternative Facts banner already, or if they are just mix and matching. Each of today’s cards can be purchased for $9.99 or in lots of 5 for $29.99, 10 for $49.99, or 20 for $79.99. A five card bundle featuring one of each card is available for $34.99. Free shipping is being offered via the SmartPost option. The cards will be available for sale for 24 hours on topps.com. Topps will reveal the print run at the end of the sale. Here are pictures of today’s new cards.

The sequel is never better than the original, right? Today Topps revealed the print run for Garbage Pail Kids Trumpocracy – The First 100 Days cards #1-#5. Were set collectors tired of Trump cards after the end of the Disg-Race set? Collectors came out and proved that wasn’t the case with the first Trumpocracy cards. Sales were a bit across the board, but very solid for the most part. The Madonna parody card led the way with 425 copies sold. Two other GPK cards were in the mid-300’s, while the other two fell shy of the 300 mark. Incidentally both the Wacky and Twister cards sold in the 300’s despite being part of their own set. It will be interesting to see if collectors continue to flock to buy up Trump. Here are the print run for the GPK cards:

#1 – Deleted Donald – 371
#2 – Mad Donna – 425
#3 – Dissenting Donald – 349
#4 – Storyteller Spicer – 281
#5 – Tasteless Trump – 237

Dis-Race is over, long live Trumpocracy! Today Topps made a number of changes to their online section that sells the daily GPK cards. Part of that change was launching Garbage Pail Kids GPK: Trumpocracy – The First 100 Days. Gone are listings for GPK Disg-Race to the White House set. It would appear that set has come to an end. In its place are sections for GPK Trumpocracy, GPK Spews, a separate section for Wacky Packages: Alternate Facts, and a new art based set parodying Twitter called, Twister.

Today’s cards feature five cards based on these first few days of Trump’s presidency. Topps also launched one Wacky Packages and one Twister card under their own separate set banners. As with the Disg-Race set, each card can be purchased for $9.99 or in lots of 5 for $29.99, $10 for $49.99, or 20 for $79.99. A seven bundle is available featuring one of each card offered today from all the sets can be purchased for $44.99. Free shipping is being offered via the SmartPost option. The cards are available on Topps.com for 24 hours. Topps will reveal the print run at the end of the sale. It will be interesting to see what collector demand is for these now that the Disg-Race set appears to be finished. Here are pictures of today’s new cards.
