- GPK ART latest updated collection- I love original GPK art. Here is my art collection of original finals and color roughs:
Earlier photosphoto from 2016:
Yes, Wayco is my real name and you will know it soon since I was one of the lucky 5 that won Be a GPK.
Super excited about it.
I started with OS3 back in the day. I bought a couple of OS1 packs later on because I always loved the characters. Eventually I traded for some series 2 cards as well. I kept almost all of my originals, have probably over 1000 cards from OS1 - OS 7.
Favorite OS1: Adam Bomb New Wave Dave Dead Ted
Dave was my favorite and Dead Ted was my brother's fave. Of course, I loved Adam Bomb too.
Chrome REALLY got me back into collecting, even though I would always buy some packs over the years when I saw them. My oldest son even got into them and brought them all to school. He didn't get in trouble like I did though.
Enjoy: My original book from 1986.
Question Mark. I was one of the winners this year so will always keep this:
Thanks! PM me if you have any questions.

Good stuff Gruson. Love all the gem mint 10's! It seems that Rainbow collecting is what a lot of people do these days.

Sweet collection! Got a question. When sending a plate to psa do they treat that like a regular card? Thx

I wonder what name they will come up with for your card. Do you have a pic of the concept they are using for your card?

It's actually perfect because I broke my leg two years ago!

The focus will now be on art. I am hooked on it. Here is my collection so far, not framed yet. Big thanks to OS1 Mafia, geepeekrazy, Mr. Tom Bunk, SteveO, Oliver, and other members here. I could not have gotten these treasures without you guys!
I recently found out that Tom Bunk did the art to one of my favorite GPKs of all time, the Adam Bomb version on the wrapper. I have always wanted to own a version of it and was disappointed that the Chrome pencil art was not similar to the wrapper. I recently began collecting art and since Tom sells some of his original pieces, I asked if he happened to have the wrapper artwork of Adam Bomb. He was not sure but after a couple of days of searching he said he did and offered to sell it to me.
Here is the color rough of the OS1 Adam Bomb Wrapper! It will be framed very soon.
I am so excited about every piece and will hopefully have them framed and on the walls soon. Thanks.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Equally amazing that no one else asked Bunk about the wrapper art before and that almost 30 years later he still had it laying around and agreed to part with it! Nicely done!

Nicely done! Yeah, I thought the same thing...figured being this late to the art game that I would never own a piece like this...still in shock really.

They seemed to keep every final and the artist only have the colors/pencil Still an awesome pickup that I'm surprised nobody thought to ask about.

I wonder what other finals Topps still has. I know they auctioned of the Poster art but obviously not the wrapper art. I think someone owns the Cheap Toy box color rough on the UG.

I have asked them before but they will never give any details. They just said they would look and see what older stuff they have and may eventually put it on eBay and to keep an eye out. I wish someone from Topps would post here every now and then, not just the artists or does anyone have a contact that can search for us? I believe that the guy who runs the GPK Chase site is working on a new site that will have a nice art section.
