Topps today begin preorders for 2024 Bowman Chrome Baseball Mega boxes via Topps.com. With that came new information and reveals about the Garbage Pail Kids cards included in the set. While Topps didn’t reveal odds for GPK Bowman cards on their Hobby odds sheet, they did for Mega Box odds. Base cards show as 1:200 Mega packs. There are also different parallel versions offered in Mega boxes, compared to Hobby boxes. Collectors will have the chance to pull Orange Mojo /25 (1:841), Red Mojo /5 (1:4,205), and Black Mojo 1/1 (1:20,293). Mojo parallels appear to have different patterns on them compared to Chrome parallels according to past year’s set examples.
Topps also revealed the GPK Bowman checklist for the first time. There will be 23 players included as GPK characters. There doesn’t appear to be a/b versions. In an odd choice, Topps lists the players by their real name on the checklist and not by their GPK name.
Based on reported odds and information from Topps, I’ve been able to figure out print run info for Hobby and Mega boxes. What we don’t yet know is if there are additional box types for Bowman Chrome Baseball and if GPK cards will be included in them. Here is a quick break down of each box type announced so far by Topps with print runs based on odds supply by Topps.
