Before or after the autograph card giveaways on Friday, Saturday, and Sunay, with Simko, Camera (Wacky-releated material), and Gross, respectively, a LIVE sketch session occured. The voting took place via Facebook on the Topps GPK social media page and ADAM Bomb won out as a "fan" favourite. *   The Topps booth had two, completely unannounced, exclusive cards for the New York Comic Con, taken from the recent 'book worms' retail/hobby release. Both images were created by artists Brent Engsrom, where the character card for Book Of The TED was handed out on Thursday, and the character card ADAM Book was handed out on Saturday, both free with proof of following Topps on social media. NOTE: Unlike the retail/hobby card [ADAM Book], the NYCC promo card has the name in smaller case and the word in larger case [Adam BOOK]. *  Artist Joe Simko signed an exclusive autograph card on Friday, October 7, 2022, at 1pm at the Topps, taken from the Krashers Series 3 set. The NYCC reverse card back is similar to artist DAVID Gross's card back, but also shows a pre-printed Simko autograph underneath and states "GPKrashers Creator and Artist" at the botom of the card. Per Topps press release on September 30, 2022, "Abrams Books Panel & Signing (Thurs Oct. 6, 5:15pm–6:15pm, room 1B03) – R. L. Stine, Goosebumps creator and GPK middle-school series author, Liz Weinberg and Matt Stine, co-authors of the new GPK Cookbook and GPK artist/cookbook illustrator Joe Simko to appear for a session titled GPK: A Gross Out Update. Moderated by Abrams Editorial Director Charlie Kochman. Book signing to precede the panel (4pm–5pm) at Hall A. No fees for autographs. Books available for purchase at the signing from Barnes & Noble, NYCC’s official bookseller." *  On Friday, September 23, 2022, artist David Gross took to social media and stated, "If you are heading to NYC Comic Con on Sunday Oct 9th I will have an exclusive Garbage Pail Kids card available at the Topps booth to sign." The card image stems from the 2022 GPK We Hate the 80s online expansion set, week #6, that sold from August 25 to September 01 with the character holding a sign that states, "THE SET IS OVER! GO HOME!", a parody of Ferris Bueller's quote, "You're still here? It's over. Go home. Go." The movie takes place in Chicago. * Similar to the 2021 convention, Topps released a GPK x Oh, the Horrorible! expansion set at the NYC convention and a slightly different configuration online for four days only from October 6 to October 9, 2022 that cost $19.99 per ten-card set, or $179.99 for ten bulk sets (online). Both releases contained ten cards with a checklist and 9-card puzzle (1a-5b) backsides, but the convention set also came with an exclusive character, two extra cards with a black NYCC backside (6a/b), whereas the onlines set came with a sepia card variant.  On Thursday, September 29, 2022, artist David Gross took to social media again to state, "Garbage Pail Kids Oh, The Horrorible returns to NYC Comic Con next week! A new card set featuring some of your favorite horror characters from 2022! The set will be available online next Thursday [October 6]. 10 new A/B name cards anda sepia variant. Or you can pick up the full set PLUS EXCLUSIVELY at the NYC show a 6th/7th card (A and B name versions) featuring Wicked WEDNESDAY/ADDY Addams at the show all four days. I will also be at the show Sunday at the Topps booth at 1pm signing the cards with purchase or the free NYC Ferris Bueller card." * Abrams also had several giveaways during the NYCC weekend. On Thursday, author R.L. Stine signed promo posters, with highlighted green slime, printed by and for the Blackstone Audio booth, slightly different than the 2020 promo poster available through exclusive bookstore pre-orders for book #1. An embossed postcard for the audiobooks were also handed out throughout the weeknd, printed by Blackstone Audio, and some signed by artist Joe Simko. The Abrams booth handed out numbered prints of book #3 artwork, signed by cover artist Joe Simko, with purchase of any GPK product, limited to 750; these were the leftover prints from the pre-order event that took place in 2021.  
BLACKSTONE 2022 NYCC 11x17 PROMO POSTER [HIGHLIGHTED SLIME] + AUDIOBOOK 2022 NYCC ~4x6 POSTCARD [EMBOSSED] NOTE: A SLIGHTLY LARGER ABRAMS 2020 R.L. SLIME PROMO POSTER EXISTS WITHOUT THE HIGHLIGHTED SLIME *  Per Topps announcement on October 3, 2022, "Adam F. Goldberg Signing at Midtown Comics (stand #3137) – Sunday 3pm. Creator of ABC-TV’s ‘The Goldbergs’ will sign copies of the brand-new comics series (issue #1 on sale this week): ‘Garbage Pail Kids: Origins.’ Goldberg is the lead writer of this new line of comics from Dynamite Entertainment. Joining Goldberg at the Midtown stand is Hans Rodionoff, co-writer on ‘Origins’ and close collaborator on Marvel’s ‘Damage Control’ as well as ‘Muppets Mayhem,’ the highly anticipated new streaming series from Disney+.

PHILLY NON-SPORT
— SPRING CARD SHOW The Topps Company/Fanatics had an exclusive pair of Prime Slime Trashy TV Promo Cards (100ea?) printed through and for the Philly Non-Sports Card show that took place the weekend of May 20 and 2 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks (Hall E) in Oaks, PA. 
 Per social media the first half of May, artist David Gross mentioned, "If you are going to the [Philly Show] I'll be at my booth with an exclusive official [GPK] card available!" and "Adam F. Goldberg's The Muppets Mayhem is now streaming on Disney+! Check it out and get the [GPK] promo cards (A/B Names) I painted which are available at the [Philly Show]!" Note: the Philly show has been printing and paying for these cards to be printed, roughly 100 per promo card, for several years, after first getting permission. More than 60% of these particular promocards were miscut, so Gross paid to have them reprinted, so roughly 200 may eventually exist on the secondary market. |

The series, titled “Spoiled Sports“, explores a world of grotesque sports, where players like “Ken Phlegm” run bases as much as their nose runs (and hint: it’s a lot). The Ken Phlegm card will be limited to 500 pieces and a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. It will only be sold as a 2-pack, and you’ll also receive one randomly chosen “Artist-Autographed” Garbage Pail Kids card from Pardee’s official TOPPS/GPK Major League Baseball series.

FANATICS LEADERSHIP
EVENT TOPPS LIMITED PRODUCT On September 21, 2023, Fanatics CEO, Michael Rubin, took to Instagram and posted several leadership event pics including a Garbage Pail Kids card, stating, "Incredible two days with members of our leadership team across all @fanatics' businesses! Was great to get everyone in one room and dive into all the ways we need to keep improving and innovating for our fans. Excited for our future and where we’re headed. A huge thank you to our team and thought provoking speakers. ps swipe to the last picture - the collectibles team abusing me like everybody else!" The last picture being a caricature of himself created by artist David Gross. Per Fanatics, Inc., Rubin is a "serial entrepeneur, philanthropist, and social justice advocate, is the founder and executive chairman of Fanatics." 
 David Gross took to social media the same day to share the Michael 'Rambunctious RUBIN' parody image (and information), sporting GPK bling, stating, "Fanatics had a two day leadership event and myself, Brent Engstrom and Joe Simko did three Garbage Pail Kids for the event. I did the Michael Rubin card featuring him, Tom Brady, Robert Kraft, Kevin Hart and Travis Scott partying it up at the White Party." The concept pictured to the right was rejected, which showcases three popular GPK characters, surrounding the charismatic CEO, that probably doesn't bring in as much money to the company as the four replacements on the final card version, pictured to the left.  Artist Joe Simko worked on the 'Grumpy GLENN' character, and stated, "Here's my original painting, and the final card version they altered in post. Brent's card is on the right. My guy was Fanatics CFO Glenn Schiffman", the Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer. Within the original image, the 'SCB' chart was removed in post production at Topps, and the 'EBITDA-' sign, which is short for "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciations and amortization"—one of the most widely used measures of a company's financial health and ability to generate cash flow—was moved and changed to 'FCF-SBC', which stands for "Free Cash Flow - Stock Based Compensation". 
 Artist Brent Engstrom completed the artwork for the 'On-Time ORLANDO' character card, poking fun at Orlando Ashford, the Chief People Officer (CPO) of Fanatics, who manages global human resources for the company and directly oversees the HR team within Fanatics Holdings, per their website. Brent mentioned that "[Topps] wanted watches all up his arms so I put them on his legs too, just to push the gag a little." Several watch band colors and faces were changed in post-production at Topps, as well as making the skin tone a little darker. After the event, the CEO asked if these changes could be implemented on the final artwork so that they could be gifted to the individuals. *  On October 7, 2023, artist Neil Camera took to social media to post an image he painted of Rubin in 2022, stating, "Here's a fun little GPK portrait I was asked to paint for Michael Rubin back in 2022 when Fanatics first acquired Topps." The image contains a plethora of GPK characters in the background with 'MIKE the King' spinning a 76ers basketball and holding a Devils hockey stick. The 'CERTIFIED GROSS' header is a tagline that was taken from the GPK license logo. As of October 20, 2022, "Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin completes divestment in company that owns 76ers, Devils, sources say. Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin has sold his 10 percent stake in Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment, completing a divestment as a limited partner of the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils, sources told ESPN on Thursday." NOTE: this image was requested by 'Uncle Louie' of GPK Nation (Leo Challenge Coins) in hopes of getting a card printed, but was not requested by Topps nor part of any event. |
NEW
YORK COMIC CON This new fan-focused project is similar to what Fensterman did at ReedPop, but with a different audience. While Fanatics plans to launch next year with two events, show content is still in development. “I don’t see us moving into the territory of NYCC yet,” he says, “but could other non-sports collectibles be a part of something we build? Absolutely, but not at the beginning. We need to cater to a very specific community.” Fanatics also owns the well-known trading card company Topps and has licenses for Star Wars and Strangers Things, and Topps itself owns some IP, like the classic Garbage Pail Kids. “We’ll see what people want,” Fensterman adds.* On September 25, 2023, artist JOE Simko took to the socials and stated, "Here is one half of the official [New York Comic Con] GPK screenprint I designed. Side 'A'. Available next month at the show. 18" x 24" Signed and numbered. Vibrant Fluorescent Blacklight color with Metallic shine. Stay tuned for side 'B'" and on October 11, 2023 for part two, stating, "Music vid. Look for these blacklight GPK x NYCC 2023 prints at New York Comic Con Available at the NYCC official show store. Starting tomorrow! Left side and right side print. 600 each. Signed and numbered."  NYCC 2023 Garbage Pail Kids Posters NYCC Official Show Store $20.00 Each?  NYCC x Garbage Pail Kids 2023 T-Shirt NYCC Official Show Store $35.00 *  On September 30, 2023, artist JOE Simko took to social media and stated, "I'll be signing GPK Pop-Up books during [New York Comic Con on] Saturday, Oct. 14th [at the Insight Editions] booth # 3418 2:00 - 2:30pm" and on October 13, 2023, reiterating, "Tomorrow at New York Comic Con I'll be signing copies of the GPK Pop-up book. Plus Free Pop-up book promo cards. Info in post." NOTE: the promo card were unfortunately not available, and JOE had his parter June Gonzales created the signing ad for the show and had Topps share, where they stated, "SAVE THE DATE: If you are heading to New York Comic Con this weekend, be sure to catch artist Joe Simko at the Insight Edition Booth signing copies of the all-new GPK Pop-Up that he wrote & illustrated!!" *  Although unannounced, and unlike the daily cards (and special Oh, the Horror-ible set) like last year, Topps had a New York themed ten-card set that could be obtained by winning two different daily, clear-cellophane, packs (containing five cards each) via completing several puzzles & obstacles, and entering the codes into a vending machine and lockers system which revealed what prize you won (either a Topps tote bag, GPK card pack, Star Wars card pack, GPK t-shirt, etcetera); the Topps booth employees were sporting GPK t-shirts and cosplayer Sam Gras was onsite for Saturday & Sunday. On October 16, 2023, Topps took to social media and stated, "What a difference a year makes! The KING of GPK cosplay Sam Gras traded in his Adam Bomb costume and debuted a new Roy Bot suit this weekend at NYCC! How do you think he did?!" Unfortunately, no ROY Bot promo cards were being handed out. |

Limited quantities available at Gross Card Con 2024! Grab a blank OG 2019 Gross Card Con Sketch Shirt and have your favorite artist to do a sketch! Cost of sketch varies per artist!" The following day, on December 15, 2023, a new updated list was shared to potential showgoers, stating "Here’s a present everyone will love! New to the Gross Card Con 2024 artist lineup, is James Warhola!" The new 'poster' also added GPK News. The event took place at the World Market Center and the Downtown Grand Hotel hosted attendees.  Since there was no GCC 2023 show, it was nice to see that the Get A Grip Skateboards company would be back in attendance for 2024 after being present at the 2022 show. It was also nice to see some new Topps GPK merchandise announced and that their GPK license was still going strong. A plethora of great non-licensed GPK product was also available from the artists and sketch artists, and another excellent GCC card set. * 
 ~ On roughly, Sunday, February 25, 2024, Get-a-Grip Skateboards teased an image of a paper bag to their social media channels for a new upcoming convention product titled 'GPK-MART, THE EXCLUSIVE GROSSERY BAG' with no, as yet, description. ~ On Monday, February 26, G.A.G. announced the first mystery item, stating "ATTENTION GPK-MART SHOPPERS!

THIS NASTY NICK CARD IS LIMITED TO 100. KEEP IT AWAY FROM DAYLIGHT, GARLIC AND WOODEN STAKES. TAKE CARE OF IT." 
 To coincide with the GPK-Mart Bag GCC release, Get A Grip Skateboards also dropped an alternative version of the GPK socks in a green OS3-esque can (show exclusive; socks are solo within the website sale without a tin/can), and a clear & a black colour Swatch-esque variant to their exclusive watches, to their website (both available at the show). Per social media, on March 16, 2024, GAG mentioned, "Sock action. 2 pair packs live now!" and "It’s time to get ill! Clear and black digital watches live now!!!", respectively. More information and images within the GPK 2024 License page. *  On March 6, 2024, GPK & Wacky Warehouse took to their social media channels to showcase GCC merch that will be available at the show, stating "A sneak peek of what will be available at our table for Gross Card Con! Are you coming to GCC 2024?! (March 16th & 17th)", and silently announcing the exclusive pair of official Topps GPK cards created and painted by artist Smokin' JOE McWilliams, 1a Card CUTTER and 1b Snotty SPADES. *     Artist DAVID Gross had began posting images of painted GPK characters to social media that he planned to sell as prints at the Gross Card Card, previously unreleased concepts known as his 'REJECTED' kids. Gross also started to post sneak peeks at the official Topps card pairs he would also have for sale at his table, characters taken from the 2022 bookworms GPK set that had remained unreleased. For the 'REJECTED' kids, Gross had mentioned that "the 'bad water' and 'Day of the Dead' were [unpicked for] worries of cultural appropriation... Katy Perry was considered too sexual... and [the Michael Jackson] one, I'm not sure, maybe worried about the Jackson lawyers or too mean? I don't really know."  
 The week leading up to the show, Gross posted "Las Vegas Gross Card Con is this Saturday! Here's not one, not two, but three NEW GPK promo card pairs I'll have at my booth. Remember 'Gets Graphic', the cancelled subset from Bookworms? I talked Topps into putting my three pulled cards out as official GPK! First card pair is Rocketing ROBERT/Detached DAVE from The Rocketeer. More sneak previews on the way throughout the week! I will have them available after the show as well for anyone unable to make it!", and "The #2 card pairs are Sandy SANDY/Deathly DELILAH from The Sandman." Although the third card has not been posted, as of yet, the other known 'Gets Graphic' by Gross was the Dark Knight parody character seen on the sell sheet in 2022. * So I rarily cover non-Topps product, but some infamous 'underground cardz' (I coined due to their similarity to 'underground comix' product), known as Sapphire Cracker Cards (SCC), were handed out at the Gross card Con (GCC). The items aren't bootlegged and given graciously out for free, which is refreshing. Series 1 and Series 2 packs were often shipped, quited mysteriosly, to collectors, and I'm sure we'll see/hear the same for Series 3. The creator of the 'cardz' was inspired by the very popular GPK Sapphire cards, crack+ing open boxes, and rip+ping open packs, but the sets also include the curious & chaotic Mini 'rip cards', first seen within baseball releases [each Mini is embedded inside a standard-sized card which must be ripped open, therefore destroying the regular-sized card]. More information can be located on their website, and fake/parody store. 
 NOTE: TL - PRINTED SCC; TR - COLOR SKETCH BACKSIDE; B - VEGAS CHARACTERS IN RELEASE  I included this non-GPK report because of the nature of the cards, the level of dedication put into the highly detailed releases, and because artist Tom Bunk was asked to create six color sketch cards used for the release. Bunk had corresponded with me on February 16, 2024, mentioning the mystery cards, "Attached, six Las Vegas-themed cards I made for [...], they are printing and selling at the Gross Card Con. OS3 card [character]s, and giving my (and some others) originals out, something like that. Anyway, top secret." Perhaps this shouldn't have been shared with me, but it only added to the experience at the show and to the story; trying to find out who was 'selling' them, finally locating them within a Sapphire Crackers pack, and sharing them with Dov [of DKE Toys] and others. |
