Hey Everyone, I am excited to announce that GPKUG will be migrating to a new site sometime tomorrow late afternoon, early evening. The address will be the same www.gpkug.comJimbo, DXTC, LuCypher, RusVan and myself were involved in bringing the UG back to life. There are many reasons why the current UG is an afterthought. The main reason why this has happened is because this site is just too antiquated and difficult to use. It is so much easier to log into facebook, post pics and leave comments. Facebook it easy, but it is fuggin trash. It's the A.D.D. brand of conversation. You post something there and it scrolls away in minutes never to be seen again. The new GPKUG will be familiar but we are bringing it into the modern day with many modern conveniences. Yes, you'll be able to just post pics. No hosting and posting links anymore Yes, you'll be able to log in to the site using your facebook account or even your google account Yes, it'll function very much and look very much like the current UG...it'll just be easier Yes, there will be no filters. Without the Proboards TOS, we can do whatever we want now Yes, there is a great desktop and mobile version of the site Yes, the site will be AD free. No more trash making our board look like ass Yes, there will be a free APP for both iOS and Android (this will come about a week later, we have to work a few issues out) www.gpkug.com is currently forwarding to proboards. When we flip the switch it will direct to the new site. Once that happens, all activity here will cease, but we can still use this as a reference site. We look forward to seeing all of you over at the new UG tomorrow. If you have any questions, post them and I'll answer them to the best of my ability. Jimbo, RusVan, LuCypher or DXTC. If I forgot anything please post it below. This is great news! A site that is easier to use will hopefully attract more users. I am excited!

I see. At least three (empty) boxes out there will have the 1-494-0-6 boxcode, so you want to keep an eye open whenever they will pop up Maybe it was a box that was refilled when the start shipping the leftover stock to the US. Wouldn’t be the first time that that’s happened.

I believe you. but so far I haven’t seen any of these boxes before. I got 3 and have seen people open boxes with both pack variations before but always with the second run box code. Do you remember which one’s came in the first print run boxes? No problem at all, I am interested as well because I am not sure, but I suppose that the other 2 test series have those 2 different boxes as well. At the moment I have only the information about the boxcodes: Red edges/borders boxcode 1-494-1-6 Clear edges/borders boxcode 1-494-0-6 I still should have the 2 different Belgian wrappers somewhere, if I find them I will tell you which codes they have. Also, I sold all of my Belgian boxes (I do not remember who got them.) So, to whoever got my boxes (definitely more than one person), if you are reading this post, can you please post a picture of them? I have all the test set packs from the 2 Belgian variations, German and Dutch packs. All have the same code as the uk barcode packs 0-494-1-6. Same go’s for the boxes. All have the 1-494-1-6 code. Like I said I never heard or seen one like you described.

No, it's just how I've arranged my collection. I've placed a 12p yellow tagged box and a clear top and bottom packet before the UK test set box and packet. Because for me it visually looks correct, and if I had worked at Topps in the 80vs that's how I would have done it. Cool, you need to post some collection pics i'm pretty happy with my collection to be fair and i've never shown it off, but i'll post a couple of pics up sod it. Just got to find a bit of time to do it.

Also, just a side note out of curiosity, to whoever will find red borders packs, I want just to warn them that the cards inside will be probably damaged.

All the test set packs have the same code as the second run uk packs 0-494-1-6 and came in the boxes 1-494-1-6. Box code 1-494-0-6 would mean it’s a first print run with no barcode packs. I never seen any of these packs coming out of a box like that. So far the have always been In a uk box with the 12p print on it and a bf sticker over it. Unfortunately I sold all of my Belgian boxes time ago, but I can confirm you that they have those 2 barcodes (I have had multiple boxes of each one.) I can not confirm the same thing about the German or the Dutch boxes though. I believe you. but so far I haven’t seen any of these boxes before. I got 3 and have seen people open boxes with both pack variations before but always with the second run box code. Do you remember which one’s came in the first print run boxes?

You think the used Belgian cards as a test run in the uk? Sorry I don’t get it. The no price box, big white 12p sticker and yellow 12 p sticker were all from the boxes with the 1-494-0-6 Code meaning the came with the non barcode packs. The 12p print was the second print run and had the barcode packs with box code 1-494-1-6. These boxes were used for so far I have seen for all the test set releases. I remember talking with Roxanne who was 1/3 Gpk distributeurs in the US and if I remember correctly she thought one was sold on Belgium and the other in France. Not sure if that’s correct but it could be true. The cards are in French so the could have been sold in the French speaking part of Belgium and in the country of French. The Dutch cards could have sold in the Netherlands and the Dutch/Vlaams speaking part of Belgium. A lot Dutch card have been found there. Who knows right No, it's just how I've arranged my collection. I've placed a 12p yellow tagged box and a clear top and bottom packet before the UK test set box and packet. Because for me it visually looks correct, and if I had worked at Topps in the 80vs that's how I would have done it.

I want to believe that the yellow 12p price tagged box was the very first test set in the UK which contained the clear top and bottom packets, well that's how I've arranged the items in my collection. Clearly the yellow 12p price tag is a sticker, so could it be that the blank box with no price tag was a sample box for display or product design in say such arenas like exhibitions and expos used for marketing purposes. You think the used Belgian cards as a test run in the uk? Sorry I don’t get it. The no price box, big white 12p sticker and yellow 12 p sticker were all from the boxes with the 1-494-0-6 Code meaning the came with the non barcode packs.

TOXIC WES!!!! I must have not noticed it. That is a great one. such a dark, gloomy card! Love that one. As a kid, since I didn't have access to all of them, my favorites were Max Axe and Yichhy Mickey. Rolls Royce is so f**ckin' stupid, just cracks me up

I found the codes: The packs with normal edges/borders were sold in a box with the code 1-494-1-6 The clear border ones had the box with the code 1-494-0-6

I have both sticker variations and barcodes are the same as the second uk print run. That go’s for all the test set releases. I am not sure I have fully understood your message; are you confirming there are two different box codes?

I bought a 25 pack to see how it works so I can have an opinion. It is completely different than card collecting. I can see people doing both as this is more like playing the stock market with live people seeing the prices change. I have put my cards at the lowest wax currency for all of my cards and they are not selling very fast. Looks like most people want to sell sell sell but not purchase very much. At first my Gum Vile Kyle was going for over $100. Now I have it at $25. Same for my sketch Disgustin Justin. Hoping to sell it all and quit... hopefully with some profit. I have little patience

There were for sure two Belgian test boxes with two different bar codes. Unfortunately I can not remember 100%/can't find the information, if they were the 12p boxes with a 10bf sticker over them. I have both sticker variations and barcodes are the same as the second uk print run. That go’s for all the test set releases.
