NA. Several GPK 'On-Demand' exlusive cards and sets were released by Topps online from late September through January that surrounded the 2016 Presidential Election with the Disg-Race to the Whitehouse series title and sold for a 24 hour period only. The Debate-inspired caricature sticker cost $9.99 for one card or came in quantities: $29.99 for five cards, $49.99 for ten cards and $79.99 for twenty cards — the number of cards ordered equaled the print run number for that limited time period. Topps requested that the first image painted for the first release, by Brent Engstrom (with a special appearance by Bernie Sanders), be painted 3x the normal size of usual card image. Due to the short nature of these sales, Topps sent out email notifications to solicit sales, ran website ads and and hit up social media in the form of Facebook and Twitter. For the second release, the online sale was supposed to take place from Sept 27th through Sept 28th, but due to an image being rejected another character had to be created, so the sale was pushed back by one day. Several images, starting with the third release, were painted in just under 4 hours the same day by the artists, a roughly 12 hours overnight, or over a weekend to meet Topps' requested deadline... this 'rushed' artwork is apparent in some pieces and more time was given for later releases. Interesting to note that within the description online card #49 was titled 'White-Clothed Clinton' instead of 'Colorless Clinton', card #63 was titled 'KellyAnne Accomplice' instead of 'KellyAnne Con Job' and card #124 '"Throned Trump' was titled 'Undignified Donald' within the bundle page. The card for painting #82, plus others, depicts a Wacky Packages-inspired image; see the 'Comprehensive Checklist' at the bottom of the page for other Wacky Package (WP) card numbers and artist information. 'Disgrace' release number #32 on January 3rd, 2017 within the new year not only containted another Wacky image, but a new subset titled "GPK: Network Spews", a parody of 'current events' in the news -- this online 'subset' will be housed on the 'Prime Slime Trashy TV' pages.



NA. The first Presidential Debate-inspired caricature for Topps' first On-Demand product for GPK was titled 'Disg-Race to the Whitehouse' for card #1. The original idea was conceptualized during the 2017S1 ADAM-Geddon concept stage and pulled from that set for the exclusive Presidential online releases in the laste summer of 2016. The original ideas by artist Brent Engstrom had the characters as separate caricatures intended for their own two cards; however, Topps wanted the characters to be on the same concept and they requested Brent to paint the image 3x the normal size of a normal card image, although it was printed on a regular 2.5x3.5 card size. The image would be even better on a larger scale. Topps had Engstrom do a baby version of the 'Rampage'-like concept for card #12 that centered around the Vice-Presidential Debate in early October; with toy blocks for the collapsing city and prepubescent smoke puffs.




NA. During the later phase of the online Presidential releases, there were a couple of Repeated Concepts from the previos 'Super Tuesday' set and the newer 'Dis-Grace to the Whitehouse' set. Card #24 Marionette Melee and cards 4a Hand Puppet Hillary and 4b Crony Clinton (Super Tuesday), both by artist Brent Engstrom, along with card #31 "Human" Hilary painted by artist Joe Simko and cards 3a Mecha Marco and 3b Robotic Rubio (Super Tuesday) painted by Brent Engstrom; both concepts by Engstrom. Also pictured, card #32 Toddler Trump before the background and tears were added; the only painting Engtrom has performed backwards -- painting the subject prior to the background in case there were any changes from Topps. Also pictured is an unpublished DisGrace concept by artist David Gross where Trump's teeth have been replaced with orange Tic Tacs.





NA. Artist Brent Engstrom submitted the sketch for card #102 TRUMP TIME, found within the 'Disgrace to the White House' exclusive online subset, as a GPK concept — based off of the recent TIME magazine cover. At the time, Topps had been adding a Wacky Package image to the online mini sets including two of the holiday-themed sets. Topps requested that Engstrom resubmit the concept as a Wacky Package sketch, but in the end decided on using the GPK concept.

17. An exclusive seasonal subset, the GPK Halloween sticker set, went on sale for a 7-day period on October 25th through November 1st of 2016. It was a very refreshing release after so many Presidential online sets that were sold on Topps online. The bundle of 18 cards, 9 new images with twins, sold for $39.99 or $9.99 for each 2-card set; the number of cards/sets ordered equaled the number produced for that limited time period. Six images were painted by artist Brent Engstrom, one image was painted by artist Joe Simko and one image was painted by Fred Wheaton. The Presidential personalities of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump do make-up two of the images within the subset.



Cont'd. The exclusive online Halloween subset was a nice suprise during the extremely heavy release of Presidentail debate stickers by the Topps company during the debate season. The first two Presidential candidate cards poking fun at Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were added to the All Hallows' Eve-themed subset late in production; cards 1a/b by artist Brent Engstrom is a tribute to John Pound's OS4 image for cards 153a JACK O. Lantern and 153b DUNCAN Pumpkin. The Jason Voorhees parody of cards 3a/b, also by artists Brent Engstrom, is a homage to John Pound's OS1 character for cards 5a Dead TED and 5b JAY Decay; it was created during the Riot Fest period of online releases and the color scheme is based off of the 'Friday The 13th' video game for the 1987 Nintendo Entertainment System (pictured below); the image was the first painting by Engstrom that he completed "for the fun of it" and was later submitted to and purchsed by Topps.



Cont'd. Cards 4a/b, nightmare Kid, by artist Joe Simko is a subconscious nod to his Brand New-Series 2 image for cards 64a Sleep LES and 64b Insomniac ZACK (pictured below). Engstrom's image for cards 5a/b, scream Kid, is based off of Edvard Munch's The Scream painting — along with cards 3a/b, Jason Kid; both were considered for a NYCC exclusive release but held back for the planned Halloween set. The image for cards 6a/b, vampire Kid, created by artist Fred Wheaton was intended for the upcoming ADAM-Geddon set, along with card 7a/b, bobbing Kid, painted by Engstrom, but were both removed since they didn't correlate with the overall theme; collectors have not seen GPK card front artwork by Wheaton since the All-New Series 6 release for cards 38a I-Clod TODD and 38b MP TREY (concept pictured).



Cont'd. The painting for cards 8a/b, masked Kid, was completed by Engstrom for the "Art of the Halloween Mask" exhibit that took place in Los Angles from Oct 15th through Nov 15th of 2016; Brent's brother does work with latex masks and was the connection for the project — the masks within the painting are based off of the Topstone 'Hallween Masks' catalog (pictured below). The original concept was created for the Prime Slime Trashy TV release for the Face-Off show on Syfy but not picked for the 'Reality TV' subset; it was later purchased by Topps to include with the Hallowe'en set.

The Presidential personality of Donald Trump does make an appearance in the first sticker image of the subset.

NA. Due to the nature of the Topps online exclusive sets poking fun at the Presidential Candidates and celebrities, a lot of the Nomenclature of the cards contain twin cards with last names instead of first names. The congested concepts often contain several characters so the card names are not always person-specific. The set also contains the first set of tongue-in-cheek quotation marks within the naming; Presidentatial Candidate card 2a "Texan" TED, The Shammys cards 2b "Ascending" ALICIA and 7b "Welcome" WEST and The Not-Scars card 6b "Winning" WINSLET.
