(https://www.topps.com/internationaltradingcardday): "Join us on August 6th for International Tradind Card Day and celebrate the hobby of card collecting! Topps is giving away packs of cards featuring MLB®, UEFA Champions League®, and Garbage Pail Kids® in hobby shops across the country" ... "Spend $10 at participating Hobby Shops and receive an Exclusive ITCD Card! Card 1 - August 6th / Card 2 - August 13th" ... "Participating Hobby Store List — Coming Soon!" — Topps  Per the Cartophilic Info Exchange blog on Thursday, March 17, 2022: "After six years, Topps National Baseball Card Day gives way to Topps International Trading Card Day for 2022. The event has expanded to include UEFA Champions League, Star Wars and Garbage Pail Kids, with the event kicking off on Saturday, 6 August, 2022. The 2021 exclusive set featured 30 cards and a selection of autograph cards. My guess would be cards from the new UEFA Champions League with a special Topps International Trading Card Day logo, as seen with the Lionel Messi card that was previewed recently at the 2022 Topps Industry Summit." — Alan Jenkins  Per mock-up cards, early 2022, the Garbage Pail Kids card has the temporary nomenclature of 'GPK Magname' which was eventually be replaced by the traditional 'ADAM Bomb' twin name. This mock-up moniker is usually seen on sports trading cards as 'Player Magname' as seen within the image above. As noted by the Cardboard Connection, and verified within the mock-up photo, "Star Wars packs were initially included in the lineup, but it seems that these were removed from the promotion."  The Cardboard Connection also notes, "While MLB cards remain part of the 2022 Topps International Trading Card Day lineup, baseball is not the only choice. For the first time, the Hobby shop promotion gives collectors the option to pick between different packs. By visiting a participating card shop on August 6, fans can pick one free pack from the three versions, as supplies last. Each Topps International Trading Card Day box contains 30 MLB packs, 13 UEFA packs and seven GPK packs. [50 packs per box, 5 cards per pack]" ... "There are also 2022 Topps International Trading Card Day purchase incentives earned by buying Topps products at the shop. The requirement is a $10+ purchase. Shohei Ohtani is the featured incentive card on International Trading Card Day (August 6), while the Wander Franco incentive is available the following weekend (August 13)." — Trey Treutel Fifteen 1985 OS1 card characters, by artist John Pound, and fifteen 2022S1 Book Worms card characters, by various artists, were used within the 2022 International Trading Card Day ("ITCD") set. The same fifteen bookworm images were also used for artist autograph cards (#/100) within the special event release. * Per August 02, 2022, article by Global Licensing: In tandem with Topps’ International Trading Card Day Aug. 6, global retailer, Lids, has announced a new retail distribution partnership with the card company. Lids will now sell Topps’ various trading card products in select Lids retail stores throughout the U.S. “Topps is thrilled to partner with Lids for the first International Trading Card Day,” says Wendy Freedman, marketing director, Topps. “It’s a great way celebrate the hobby and also introduce new fans to collecting.” Collectors can now visit participating Lids stores to shop for their choice of a pack of MLB, UEFA Champions League, Star Wars and Garbage Pail Kids cards.

Topps website (https://www.topps.com/internationaltradingcardday): "Join Topps for International Trading Card Day on August 5th to celebrate the hobby of card collecting! Topps is giving away packs of cards in hobby shops around the country, featuring MLB®, UEFA Champions League®, Formula 1®, Bowman U Football, Athletes Unlimited and Garbage Pail Kids®. There are many ways to Celebrate! Visit your local hobby shops to participate! Visit your local MLB® stadium for a special pack giveaway!" and "Visit your MLB® team's retail store at the stadium and receive an exclusive card when you purchase $10 or more of Topps products - while supplies last! Visit your local hobby shop with your International Trading Card Day pack from the stadium and trade for an exlusive card - while supplies last!"   Previously known as the Topps National Baseball Card Day, from 2016—2021, and catering only to the MLB®, the special giveaway day became the Topps International Trading Card Day ("ITCD") in 2022, by introducing UEFA Champions League® and their own Garbage Pail Kids® IP to the lineup, and adding then adding Formula 1®, Athletes Unlimited®, and Bowman U Football cards to the mix for 2023. As the release sheet states, "Any collector who purchases $10 or more of Topps or Bowman products on August 5th will receive an exclusive Mike Trout card." and "Those who return on August 12th and spend another $10 or more will receive an exclusive Adley Rutschman card!" NOTE: the release sheet erroneously shows the curved Garbage Pail Kids® logo as the GPK trademark, instead of the banner. 
 Topps ran a sponsered video advert on social channels prior to the August 5th release. Collector friend 'Packy' mentioned, "The mother offers her broccoli and she pouts, so she gives her some GPK to make her happy." NOTE: the trading cards and packs within the mini commercial are all Chrome OS5 cards. Five new pieces of artwork were created, a trading-card themed subset, including the one pictured above and below, ten 1985 OS2 card characters, all mainly John Pound tribute pieces & one pulled from a future (not yet announced) GPK set, and fifteen 2023S1 GPK Go On Vacation card characters, by various artists, were used within the 2023 International Trading Card Day ("ITCD") set. The same fifteen 'Vacation' images were also used for artist autograph cards (#/10) within the special event release. NOTE: like with the first release, the character images are really zoomed-in on. 
 Artist DAVID Gross has posted a previous concept for his one of his new artwork pieces for the set prior to the release, and after the released mentioned, "I wanted the card to look like a damaged card so here's a pic of what I wanted it to appear as. I scraped the paper, drew on it in pen and damaged the actual painting to get the look." It's a hard concept to get across when the player themselves is 'downgraded' looking; it's the card, not the player that's getting graded for PSA, plus, Topps has zoomed in on every character for the release. |
