RELEASE
DATE : AUGUST 24, 2022 The Original Series 4, aka OS4, Garbage Pail Kids Chrome set was released in the late summer of 2022 by Topps, Inc. and distributed in late August of that yeararound twenty-two months after the Original Series 3 GPK Chrome set released in November of 2020. The previously pending release, with an original release date of November 2021, and delayed to August 5, 2022, had a TBD (to be determined) listing within the blast email distributor list for several months, pushed back during COVID. The set continued to carry the '2021 Garbage Pail Kids Chrome OS 4' moniker due to the originally planned release date; as seen on the sell sheets and Topps online sales. The set mainly consists of a reprint of the 1986 OS4 GPK artwork by veteran GPK artist JOHN Pound, TOM Bunk & David Burke, combined with chrome technology; no stickers or die-cuts in the set. Product started to appear around one week prior to the actual release date. ARTISTS : JOHN POUND, TOM BUNK, DAVID BURKE NEW MATERIAL : JOE SIMKO, BRENT ENGSTROM, DAVID GROSS, JOE MCWILLIAMS WRITERS : MARK NEWGARDEN & ART SPIEGELMAN NEW MATERIAL : BRENT ENGSTROM 100 CARD SET : 84 BASE + 4 NAME CHANGES + 12 ALL-NEW CARDS 148 TOTAL SET : 88 BASE + 48 C-NAMES (42 BASE + 6 ALL-NEW) + 12 ALL-NEW CARDS *NOT INCLUDING: PRINTING PLATES, PARALLELS, REFRACTORS, ETC.* The release also contains 'ALL NEW' artwork pieces, a special Chrome-related subset, created by various artists.

Although the Chrome 4 sell sheets state both Original Series artists, Tom Bunk
& David Burke, would be signing Artist Autograph
cards, only characters by Tom Bunk appeared on the later released set checklist
sent to distributors, and only Bunk autos appeared on eBay after the street date
release. David Burke still remains a mystery. Topps placed a Chrome OS4 GPK Ad on social media on August 24, 2022, letting collectors know that the long delayed chromatic set was finally being released, and that the new product was 'AVAILABLE NOW!'. The popular name changes, Oak KAY, Puzzled PAUL, Ig LOU & Battered BRAD, were all included in the regular set roster, and a C-name gives the characters a fourth piece of Nomenclature for the release. The Oak KAY name change can be located on the 125b Oak KAY checklist card, but the other three names are missing from all other checklist backs. Unlike the unfortunate events of Chrome OS3, where the reverse card backs were replaced with all-new artwork, the Chrome OS4 set kept their original nostalgic card backs, and only the All-New character artwork received new WANTED backs. All-new backs created by artist Brent Engstrom. Miscellaneous Card Errors: 137a is titled MAXE Axe instead of the correct 'MAX Axe' spelling, and 149b Puzzled PAUL should be numbered '149a' for the nomenclature change; the new name replaced 149a REESE Pieces (and not 149b Incomplete PETE). Per extensive research within the OS4 GPK History and Art Gallery pages, excerpt, Tom Bunk's final artwork with a Long Nose was shortened, by and at the NPD department's behest, to appear more CPK-like. The original long-nosed version strangely appears within the 2012 GPK Abrams book, the 2013 holiday Greeting Cards set sold by Topps online, and now the 2022 OS Chrome 4 set. Technically, not the Original Series 1986 version. The U.S. and UK Topp Shops both posted sales for the Hobby Box in late August and mentioned "Exclusive Parallels and the Super Rare 'No Blue Ink' Variations!" within the Description section. This unintentional reference suggests that next year's OS5 Chrome set will have the infamous error cards included as chase material. Oops. |
