At
the beginning of the new year, starting in January, the Topps company continued
to release another year-long installment of their exclusive online brand of Garbage
Pail Kids cards and product as specialized and limited items, under the tutelage
of the Fanatics group, the new owners. This marks their eighth consecutive year
offering a slew of unique online material to the masses, in between their larger
retail releases, that tends to cater to a much smaller niche of hardcore collectors.
The online and digital releases are overseen by the Topps brand manager (of entertainment
ecommerce), Francis Miceli. Per LinkedIn, "I run the best sport auction account
on eBay TheToppsVault I also create
products for Topps.com. Check out Topps.com for Garbage Pail Kids, Star Wars,
Baseball and Wacky Packages Weekly offerings." "GARBAGE PAIL KIDS: First released in 1985, Garbage Pail Kids has left a glorious mucousy, vomit-traced, and filthy substrate across the Hobby. Taking parody and good taste right to the line (and sometimes crossing it), Garbage Pail Kids has continued to be popular for four decades because it doesn't take itself - or anything else - too seriously. Throw in a history of amazing artists creating the best and grossest artwork of all time, and you have a recipe for continual success for one of Topps' most original brands. WHO IS GARBAGE PAIL KIDS FOR? Garbage Pail Kids' primary audience continues to be collectors who grew up with the original '85-'88 releases. Since Garbage Pail Kids' return in 2003, the brand has broadened its satiric targets in pop culture - reality TV stars, movies, and the WWE, among others - for a new generation of collectors." "THE HISTORY: Created by renowned cartoonist Art Spiegleman, Garbage Pail Kids debuted in 1985. In many ways, Garbage Pail Kids was a follow-up to Topps Wacky Packages, a spoof on household and grocery store products. By the mid-1980s, Wacky Packages had peaked and been put on hiatus, so the market was ripe for an updated series of satiric culture cards. Enter Cabbage Patch Kids. Initially released in 1983, by 1985, these dolls were unbelievably popular - and ripe for parody. After a licensing deal fell through, Garbage Pail Kids aimed and hit so close to the mark that the makers of Cabbage Patch Kids sued Topps over copyright and trademark infringement sued Topps. The suit and publicized bans of the sticker cards by schools and parent groups made Garbage Pail Kids an overnight sensation. Between 1985 and 1988, Topps released 15 series. After the initial series run, Garbage Pail Kids would be retired for fifteen years. In 2003, the brand returned, and it has continued to run ever since. As Garbage Pail Kids has developed over the years, it has maintained its satiric edge, continuing to parody pop and celebrity culture." "THE ARTISTS: Part of the enduring cultural success of Garbage Pail Kids rests on a cast of artists who've created these images over the last four decades, including John Pound, Tom Bunk, Jay Lynch, Jeff Zapata, James Warhola, Brent Engstrom, Joe Simko, Dave Gross, Smokin' Joe McWilliams, and Neil Camera, among others. In October 2022, Topps released GPK x MLB Series 1 in collaboration with the artist Keith Shore featuring Garbage Pail Kids-style rendition baseball cards of MLB players. GPK x MLB Series 2 was released in January 2023 in collaboration with Alex Pardee - the Alex Pardee collaboration is the largest single box release. WHY IT MATTERS: For almost forty years, Garbage Pail Kids has oozed a filthy throughline between the worlds of art, comics, graphic design, comedy, and popular culture. From the beginning of the brand, Garbage Pail Kids' uniquely twisted sensibility was honed by artists who developed their style in the world of comix, comics, and Mad Magazine. You can identify the influence of Garbage Pail Kids' blend of irreverence and parody in contemporary art, including Keith Shore, Alex Pardee, Ron English, Matt Gondek, and KAWS, among many others. Garbage Pail Kids is also one of the few IPs Topps has created its long history." "WHAT AM I CHASING? So much of the appeal of Garbage Pail Kids for collectors comes from Set Collecting or collecting a single character, most notably Adam Bomb - Garbage Pail Kids appeals to the Completist. However, the big Hits here are Sketch Cards of characters. Sketch cards are one-of-one, hand-drawn cards signed by the artist. Now is the perfect time to get grossed out by Garbage Pail Kids. AT A GLANCE: Debut Year: 1985; Art Spiegleman creates Garbage Pail Kids. Licensors: Topps; This is an original Topps IP product. Value Level: Accessible; Garbage Pail Kids offers something for every price point: online and retail sets for the entry and mid-level collectors; Chrome and Sapphire sets for the premium collector."

Topps released GPK x MLB (Major League Baseball)
Series 2 pack boxesthis time in cahoots with artist ALEX Pardeeonline
on January 11, 2023, that cost $24.99 per one-pack box, or $194.99 per eight-pack
box... exactly three months after the Series 1 release in October 2022; which
coincidentally, have not been shipped. An overall price increase over the last
release, with two additional parallel types and three additional chase inserts
added to the set. Within their set introduction of the '2022 Topps GPK x MLB Series 2 by Alex Pardee - 1 Pack [or] 8 Pack Box' release, the Topps Shop stated: "Includes 1 [or] 8 packs. 6 cards per pack (5 Base + 1 Foil Parallel, Chase Insert or Artist Autograph). Hobby-favorite Alex Pardee reimagines the biggest MLB stars as part of the hilarious Garbage Pail Kids universe! Collect all 15 players, along with a slew of collectible parallels, cant-miss inserts, and even autographs from Alex himself! Free Shipping (choose Economy), Ships in 30-35 Business Days", within the 'Description' section, "Garbage Pail Kids and Major League Baseball are back! Now, esteemed artist Alex Pardee reimagines some of the biggest MLB stars, in his trademark style, as part of the hilarious Garbage Pail Kids universe. Look out for all 15 players, in addition to a slew of collectible parallels, cant-miss inserts, and even autographs from Alex himself! Available only while supplies last, exclusively on Topps.com. BOX CONFIGURATION: (1 [or] 8) sealed packs (6) trading cards per pack (5 Base + 1 Foil Parallel, Chase Insert or Artist Autograph)", and within the 'Specs' section, "SKU: ARTGPK-16C2S-22GPK-AP1[OR]8BX, Product Information : 1 [or] 8 Sealed Pack(s). 6 trading cards (5 base + 1 foil parallel, chase insert or artist autograph) per pack. Product Type: Online Exclusive Box, Property: Major League Baseball, Year 2023: Artist Name Alex Pardee". Topps dropped the above ad to social media on Friday, January 6, 2023, stating: "The Garbage Pail Kids are taking over MLB once again! New set featuring art by Alex Pardee will be dropping on Wednesday only on Topps.com." and a video on Monday, January 9, 2023, stating: "'Garbage Pail Kids were probably the first thing that I even avidly collected Having the opportunity to be part of that legacy in a small way is insane ' Artist Alex Pardee shares his deep connection to his upcoming #GPK x #MLB set!" NOTE: Collectors may recall artist ALEX Pardee's digital artwork contribution to the 2021 Beyond the Streets (BTS) release for card #1 in the online boxed set via NTWRK. NOTE: The eight-pack box sold out in eight days; the one-pack box sold out in nine days. The 2nd series had a much higher production and no artist proofs. * Per the Unofficial SDCC Blog published an article titled, "Alex Pardee San Diego Comic-Con 2023 Exclusives", on July 5, 2023, stating, "Alex Pardee is returning to San Diego Comic-Con 2023 at Booth #5502 this year, where hell have his patented brand of colorful terror (or brightmares). You can probably expect new tees, new art, and even more. Get ready for a gross attack (in the best way) from Alex Pardee, as he will be debuting a new series of Garbage Pail Kids inspired trading cards. 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: its 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 youll also receive one randomly chosen Artist-Autographed Garbage Pail Kids card from Pardees official TOPPS/GPK Major League Baseball series. Each card comes signed by Pardee and encased in a specially marked case. You can score a gross-out homerun (or at least the two-pack of cards) for $45, with a limit of three 2-packs per customer per day." |

Although scheduled for a January 27, 2023, online release, Topps pushed the drop
out one week, to February 03, 2023, for their 2022 GPK Sapphire Edition #3 box,
which included 32 trading cards, 8 packs per box & 4 cards per pack, and featured
artwork from the OS5 set, costing $120.00, ten per customer. The limited supplies
sold out in less than an hour for the UK online drop (a smaller number available),
and severa; weeks for the U.S. online drop. The box mock-up image and online checklist
both state "2022" considering the set was originally planned to be released
last year. Unlike the previous two releases, boxes were not offered to Topps 582
Montgomery club members via their 'early access' membership perk prior to the
main release. Topps posted to Facebook on February 03, 2023, stating: "Not
even premium chromium stock & a sapphire shine could make these characters
less gross. Head to Topps.com now to add 2022 Garbage Pail Kids Sapphire to your
collection!" NOTE: Obviously a much larger production since boxes were not SOLD OUT right away, and there was an E-comm banner ad for online sales; Ecommerce = commercial transactions conducted electronically on the internet. The description stated, "2022 Garbage Pail Kids Chrome Sapphire Edition brings the always beautiful Sapphire treatments to the always classic Original Series 5 set! Look out for a ton of exclusive Sapphire colored parallels bringing a level of glamor to some of the nastiest, stinkiest, and downright ugliest gags in GPK history! 32 cards per box - Look for Color Parallels!" The release included a plethora of parallel border colors including blue, pink, green, orange, gold, purple, red and 'padparadscha'. The price per box shot up from $50.00 (OS1 + OS2) to $130.00 (OS3 + OS4) in just two years, and down to $120 (OS5), possibly due to a much higher production. 100 cards per base and parallel sets. Additional information, [U.S.] "Ships in 10-15 business days. Customer/Household Limit: 10" + [UK] "Please allow 14-16 business days for UK delivery (+14 for international orders, order from outside the UK may be subject to import tax)."

and "Each set contains (11) 2.5"x3.5" sticker cards - 10 Base Stickers
plus 1 Parallel per Set" as seen within the Product Information area. It
has been several years since Topps has released a 'Not-scars' set, since 2019(?);
in the last few years they have concentrated more on the Grammys/Shammys. On March
09, 2023, Topps posted to Facebook, stating, "And the winner is...WE DON'T
CARE. The GPK Not-scars are back to ruin the ending and everything else along
the way. Grab a set before they're gone." * ToppsRipped Article Garbage Pail Kids: Not-Scars 2023 We Love Garbage Movies DATE: MAR 9, 2023 TOPICS: GARBAGE PAIL KIDS, GPK, NOT-SCARS LENGTH: 447 WORDS READING TIME: ~3 MINUTES Since 2016, the Garbage Pail Kids have been letting the air out of all the pomp and circumstance of The Academy Awards. Hollywoods biggest night is the perfect combination of celebrity exposure and big cultural event that is tailored made for GPK parodying. During the past seven years, A-listers from Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Lady Gaga, to Tom Cruise have received the Garbage Pail treatment. This year is no different. For the next week, the Garbage Pail Kids: Not-Scars 2023 will be available [here], featuring send-ups of Oscar-hopefuls Top Gun: Maverick, Avatar: The Way of Water, Elvis, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Blonde. Lets take a closer look at this years GPK Not-Scars set. SICK MAVERICK Tom Cruise returned to the Danger Zone after more than 30 years. What better way to commemorate the return of Maverick, Ice Man, and Kenny Loggins, than with a GPK sticker card? Tom Cruise is famous for performing his own stunts and famously piloting fighter jets Sick Maverick could be an accurate depiction of Cruises time in the cockpit. Top Gun: Maverick was nominated for a total of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture. ELEVATED ELVIS Baz Luhrmanns latest spectacle, Elvis, has been nominated for eight Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor. And GPK nails the tortured relationship between the King of Rock n Roll and his manager, Colonel Tom Parker. Is someone pulling Austin Butlers strings, and is that why hes changed his voice? Inquiring minds want to know. AVA-TAR James Cameron and his Navi pals returned after a 13-year hiatus with Avatar: The Way of Water. According to fans and critics alike, it was the worth wait. Nabbing four Oscar Noms, including Best Picture, lets hope we dont have to wait 13 years between each of the reported six sequels. OSCAR WIENER Michelle Yeoh and company seem to be everywhere all at once this awards season. A24s Everything Everywhere All At Once has emerged as this years Oscars frontrunner to potentially sweep the awards. Grab a plate of hotdogs and donuts, and tune the Acadamy Awards to see how many statues this movie takes home. AILING ANA The story of Marilyn Monroes life is explored by the Oscar-nominated movie Blonde. Ana de Armas scores a nomination for best actress with her portrayal of the blonde bombshell. Even if Ana de Armas doesnt win for her performance, shell always be a winner, thanks to GPK. [Per Smokin' Joe: "Diamonds are a Hurl's best friend."] Make sure and grab your Garbage Pail Kids: Not-Scars 2023 set between now and March 16. |

On
April 13, 2023, Topps took to Facebook to tease the upcoming release, "Premiering
next week...GPK Prime Slime Trashy TV. Collect a new set every week for the next
6 weeks. Only at Topps.com." This may be the first online drop that has been
announced a full week in advance, and where Topps continued to advertise for the
release each day within their daily online-store emails. Historically, online
GPK sets have been cold drops and unannounced.
NOTE: A nice light-orange nameplate has been used within
the online release. For each release, the first nine cards are a completed puzzle,
the tenth card is the set checklist, and the sepia cards contain the banner &
set title. 05. Topps released the first of six GPK Prime Slime Trashy TV exclusive sets online from April 20 through April 27, 2023. The releases sold for one week only and cost $19.99 per eleven-card set, with no minimum order. Note: '+$160 for 10 sets ($179.99)' option added at a later date, not at launch. Within their set 'Description' section, the Topps Shop stated: "2023 Topps Garbage Pail Kids: Prime Slime Trashy TV. Who doesn't love a good trashy T.V. show these days? What T.V. show is your guilty pleasure? Look for some of your favorite, and least favorite, T.V. shows reimagined in classic Garbage Pail Kids style. Each week, one lucky fan will receive a 1/1 full-color painting shipped with their set. A new set will launch every Thursday for six weeks, exclusively on Topps.com", within the Configuration section, stated: "Set Configuration: * Base set contains 10 subjects * Sepia Parallel. Pack Configuration: * 10 Base Stickers * 1 Parallel per set * 1/1 Randomly inserted Final Painting Per Wave. Featured Painting Inserted into Wave 1: Will of Fortune by Brent Engstrom", and stated: "Product Information : Each box contains 10 Base Stickers & 1 Parallel per set. 1/1 Randomly Inserted Final Painting Per Wave. Product Type: Set. Property Garbage Pail Kids: Year 2023. Available From: Apr 20, 2023. Available Until: Apr 27, 2023", with the Specs section. "All sales are final. Print runs revealed after sales window expires. Art subject to change. Not responsible for typographical/printer errors."; technically speaking, Topps is responsible, but they won't be fixing anything if there are any. 06. Topps released the second GPK Prime Slime Trashy TV exclusive set online from April 27 through May 04, 2023. The release sold for one week only and cost $19.99 per eleven-card set, or +$160 for 10 sets ($179.99), with no minimum order. The only difference in description, compared to the other five postings, was within the Configuration section, that stated: "Featured Painting Inserted into Wave 2: Chet Smart by Brent Engstrom", with the remaining information being the same. 07. Topps released the third GPK Prime Slime Trashy TV exclusive set online from May 04 through May 11, 2023. The release sold for one week only and cost $19.99 per eleven-card set, or +$160 for 10 sets ($179.99), with no minimum order. The only difference in description, compared to the other five postings, was within the Configuration section, that stated: "Featured Painting Inserted into Wave 3: Bachelor Bob by David Gross", with the remaining information being the same. 08. Topps released the fourth GPK Prime Slime Trashy TV exclusive set online from May 11 through May 18, 2023. The release sold for one week only and cost $19.99 per eleven-card set, or +$160 for 10 sets ($179.99), with no minimum order. The only difference in description, compared to the other five postings, was within the Configuration section, that stated: "Featured Painting Inserted into Wave 4: Beaver Ben by Brent Engstrom", with the remaining inforomation being the same. 09. Topps released the fifth GPK Prime Slime Trashy TV exclusive set online from May 18 through May 25, 2023. The release sold for one week only and cost $19.99 per eleven-card set, or +$160 for 10 sets ($179.99), with no minimum order. The only difference in description, compared to the other five postings, was within the Configuration section, that stated: "Featured Painting Inserted into Wave 5: Red Card Ted by David Gross", eventually changed to "Boozin' BARBARA by David Gross" at a later date, with the remaining information being the same. NA. Although not an online item, Topps 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 21. 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. 10. Topps released the sixth GPK Prime Slime Trashy TV exclusive set online from May 25 through June 01, 2023. The release sold for one week only and cost $19.99 per eleven-card set, or +$160 for 10 sets ($179.99), with no minimum order. The only difference in description, compared to the other five postings, was within the Configuration section, that stated: "Featured Painting Inserted into Wave 6: Aiden AAAYY! by David Gross", with the remaining information being the same. |

Topps released GPK x View Askew pack boxesalso
shared with San Diego Comic Con (SDCC)online
on July 19, 2023, that cost $50.00 per six-pack box (four cards per pack). Ships
in 3-5 business days. Cart limit: 10. Within the online set introduction & description of the '2023 Topps GPK x View Askew' release, the Topps Shop stated: "Snoochie Boochies! Join Jay and Silent Bob in collecting all new GPK characters inspired by some of your favorite View Askewniverse characters. Complete the Kevin Smiith puzzle and Jason Mewes puzzle! 6 packs per box - 4 cards per pack. Look for Exclusive Parallels: Green: 1 Per Pack Yellow: #d to 100 Orange: #d to 75 Blue: #d to 50 Red: #d to 25 Purple: #d to 1 Printing Plate Parallels (CMYK) #d to 1." and within the Specs section, "Product Type: Hobby, Property: Hobby, Year: 2023." The "View Askew Productions" is a film and television production company founded by Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier in 1994, which includes Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, etcetera. The "View Askewniverse" is a fictional universe created by writer and director Kevin Smith, which is featured in several of these films, in comics, and a television series, where the Jay and Silent Bob characters appear in almost all of them. NOTE: card #19, Harley Quinn Smith, is Kevin Smith's daughter, and card #20, Austin Zajur, is Harley's boyfriend since 2019; both Clerks III characters replaced the Mallrats characters concepts for the Wild WALT & Fierce FLANAGAN and Super STEVE-DAVE & Boasting BRIAN by artist Brent Engstrom, since Kevin Smith wanted them included. Artist David Gross took to social media on July 28, 2023, to post an unpicked concept piece, stating, "Unused Olaf Garbage Paul Kids rough I drew for the Kevin Smith View Askew set. Unused rough for Caitlin from Clerks for the new Kevin Smith View Askew set at Topps.com. Ultimately it was decided to not use Caitlin because the actress had passed away." On July 20, 2023, Topps took to their GPK Facebook page (The Official Facebook page for Garbage Pail Kids, brought to you by Topps!), with a brand-new advertisement image for the release to simply state, "From the mind of Kevin Smith comes an all-new spin on the Garbage Pail Kids!" * MAD ENGINE 'CLERKS' CARICATURE T-SHIRTS In September 2023, Fanatics posted T-shirts to their website of all twenty card characters, rechristened as 'Clerks Caricatures' with all-new nomenclature.

the Wacky Packages and Mars Attacks brand names, but not including Ugly Stickers
for this releasewhich took part within the Set 1 release, last year, in
2021. Artist Ermsy shared the same announcement ad to Facebook, simply stating,
"Entertainment Blend Series 2 dropping next week!" Ermsy actually took
to Instagram eleven weeks prior, at the beginning of May 2023, with a sneak peek
of the new character box artwork. Ermsy also took to social media, on July 27,
2023, and stated, "Entertainment Blend Series 2! My new card set combining
Garbage Pail Kids, Mars Attacks, Wacky Packages and Look N See. Look out
for signed cards, foils and B name cards. Dropping

Within the online set description section, the Topps Shop stated, "Look n See through the eyes of Ermsy how history and the Garbage Pail Kids intertwine to create a new view of the world.

The Topps Chewing Gum company released two Look 'n See (©T.C.G.) sets, in 1952, where each trading card contained a colorful, "painted" subject-matter portrait with a very artistic approach. Much like this new 'Entertainment Blend' brand mashup, the set was very diverse and included notable scientists, leaders, artists, writers, explorers, and other famous personalities. A red cellphane decoder was also included which revealed an answer to a trivia question on the reverse card back. This historical set really plays up to Ermys's artistic methods and talents. |

Topps released several GPK Oh, the Horror-ible!
expansion sets online, lazily listed as simply "Oh the Horrible",
Wave #1 through Wave #6, for six consecutive weeks. Each set sold for one week
only and cost $19.99 per eleven-card set or +$160 for 10 sets ($179.99). The sets
are mini expansion sets to the regular 2018S2 & 2019S2 retail releases. All
artwork was created by artists BRENT Engstrom and DAVID Gross. Within their set 'Description' section, the Topps Shop stated: "Topps and Garbage Pail Kids themed 10-card sets: Oh the Horrible! Just in time for Halloween, Garbage Pail Kids return in truly horrifying style. Sold for a limited time only, each set contains 11 Cards. 10 Base Cards 1 Parallel per Set 1 Randomly Inserted Final Painting Per Wave", and "Product Information: Each set contains (11) 2.5"x3.5" Cards - (10) Base Cards PLUS (1) Parallel. Look for 1 Randomly Inserted Final Painting Per Wave*, Product: Type Set, Property: Garbage Pail Kids, Year: 2023, Available From: [Start Date], Available Until: [End Date]", within the specifications (SPECS) section. Wave #1 sold from October 19 to October 26, 2023. Wave #2 sold from October 26 to November 02, 2023. Wave #3 sold from November 02 to November 09, 2023. Wave #4 sold from November 09 to November 16, 2023. Wave #5 sold from November 16 to November 23, 2023. Wave #6 sold from November 22 to November 30, 2023; one extra day due to Thanksgiving day being on Thursday, November 23. NOTE: The sepia card backs contained the 'regular' card backs, like the 2021 releases; the 2022 sets had (incorrectly titled) 'OH THE HORRIBLE' card backs. Per SKUs, instead of being printed on sticker (-STIC-) stock, as previous SKUs showcased, the cards are now printed on two-sided 24pt cardstock, as indicated by the updated SKU section (-24C2S). Thanks 'Packy' for noticing that! |

set or +$160 for 10 sets ($179.99). The artwork was created by the four
main GPK artists: Engstrom, Simko, Gross and McWilliams + NEIL Camera.
NOTE: In the past, the set was also called
the 'Rock & Roll Hall of Shame'. NOTE:
Per SKUs, starting with
the OtH releases, instead of being printed on sticker (-STIC-) stock,
as previous SKUs showcased, the cards are now printed on two-sided 24pt
cardstock, as indicated by the updated SKU section (-24C2S). Thanks
'Packy' for noticing that! Within their set 'Description' section, the Topps Shop stated: "This year, the Garbage Pail Kids are inducting some of their favorite artists into the Rock and Roll Hall of Lame. This rockin set, which features a new set-specific parallel, is exclusive to Topps.com. 10 Base Card plus 1 Music Note parallel per Set.

See
the Chrome OS6 page for more information.
NOTE: Obviously a much larger production since boxes were not SOLD OUT right away, and there was an E-comm banner ad for online sales; Ecommerce = commercial transactions conducted electronically on the internet. The 'Description' stated, "2023 Garbage Pail Kids Chrome® Sapphire Edition brings the always beautiful Sapphire treatments to the always classic Original Series 6 set! Look out for a ton of exclusive Sapphire colored parallels bringing a level of glamor to some of the nastiest, stinkiest, and downright ugliest gags in GPK history! Look for Color Parallels! 8 packs per box - 4 cards per pack. View Checklist HERE>>> View Odds HERE>>> All sales are final. Art subject to change. Not responsible for typographical/printer errors." and the 'Specs' section stated, "SKU: FGC005398, Product Type: Hobby, Property: Garbage Pail Kids, Year: 2023" The release included a plethora of parallel border colors including blue, pink, green, orange, gold, purple, red and 'padparadscha'. The price per box lowered from $120.00 (OS5) to $109.99 (OS6) in just one years, a difference of $10, possibly due to the last release selling a bit slower. 100 cards per base and parallel sets. The only additional information on the UK site concerned shipping, which stated, "Please allow 3-5 business days for UK delivery (+14 for international orders, order from outside the UK may be subject to import tax)." + SKU: FGC005398-DB-UK PKG013131 WRAPPER PACK UPC 8-87521-12214-1 + PKG013132 DISPLAY BOX UPC 8-87521-12215-8 |
