The first big Garbage Pail Kids release of 2024 is almost here! Today Topps revealed the checklist for 2024 Series 1 Garbage Pail Kids Kids At Play. Once again the base set is comprised of 200 cards, 100 new pieces with a/b versions.
After taking the last set off, GPK cards will return to retail stores like Target and Walmart. More pack types mean the insert sets are spread out. No matter which configuration collectors purchase, there are a lot of inserts to collect. Retail Display (Hobby) boxes will have Tom Bunk’s Let’s Get Physical (10), while Blaster boxes will have the Ill-Influencers (20) insert set. Collector boxes will have a number of exclusive inserts; Game Over (24), Bored of Board Games (10), Wacky Packages: Playthings (8), GPK “TCG” (12), and GPK of America Patch Cards (10).
Once again, Joe Simko, Brent Engstrom, David Gross, and Joe McWilliams did all the base card art for the set. As with 2023S2, there will be three different artist autos inserted throughout all pack types; Base /90, Fool’s Gold /50, and Foilfractor 1/1. Base auto print run is up to /90 of each.
