OS1 - Art Apart-Pound tried to correct it with color but it ended up just highlighting how bad the character was. OS2 - Mad Donna -maybe the worst GPK in history, I hate it. OS3 - Wriggley Rene-hated this one as a kid, it's stupid. OS4 - Tiffany Lamp OS5 - Hot Doug OS6 - Ugly Hans -yeah, Ugly is right. Always hated the ears!! WHY?? OS7 - Soured Howard -sucks so hard OS8 - Buck Puck -(Bloody Mary narrowly escapes on her name alone) OS9 - Dam Dan -hate his outfit OS10 - Hunter Punter -why is his leg breaking before even kicking the ball? OS11 - Denny Saur -I hate this s**t, haven't cared about dinosaurs since I was 5. OS12 - Dead Letter Debbie -is this GPK? OS13 - Toilet Bo -is this GPK? OS14 - Coldsore Lenore- Has he seen a coldsore before? OS15 - Frank Footer -fuggin SUCKS! OS11 WORST SET OF THE OLD SERIES!!! like 4 GREAT ones, then the rest of the set is s**t.

Anyone agree with me about Ugly Hans, just curious? There's some other bad ones in OS6, but to me the ears on Ugly Hans was a blatant misstep? Plus, the scar... seemed like a cheap tack-on.
Speaking of cheap tack-ons.... Soured Howard is the Demonic Danielle of feet gags, but in all the worst ways! We didn't need to see the whole person or even both feet! Sigh!
I could see some people liking Buck Puck, maybe hockey fans? I like that he is mid-air, just feels 'safe' and "first-idea-to-come-into-my-head." Bloody Mary is bad, maybe worse, probably worse, but I like both her names, and did as a kid as well!
Dam Dan... just has NO cool factor. I just want to punch him in the face for not being more cool!
Cold Sore Lenore... a tiny piece of me likes this one for being so blunt, I like the hair texture for example.... but I don't understand her mouth, it looks nothing like a cold sore problem, I think if she had a different name I might actually like her!!

I am coming out here in defence of Hot Doug, I just inspected Hot Doug personally, and it is the epitome of American lifestyle, as its a beautiful cloudless day at a baseball game, and the theme is a hot dog, and mustard! John Pound also took great time and the detail is superb Hot Doug a Bunk. Pound uses much brighter colors and has more 3D depth in his art. I doubt Pound would have went for a kid in a bun. He'd have probably made a hot dog look like a kid My mistake, its a bunk, very solid colours, must have taken forever to paint, incredible detail, also one of the only naked GPK's

Man late series has some abysmal piles of s**t. Not that that was news to me but seeing so many stacked up next to each other really brings it home. Surprised about Mad Donna though, couple people had her in the worst list.

Surprised about Mad Donna though, couple people had her in the worst list. I've become less forgiving over the years. I remember a time when I thought some of the Bunk art was decent (like many of the OS3). Now it's just a select few. I remember even as a kid I gravitated toward Pound kids. I'm glad I got out of GPK at OS9. I bought a few packs of 10 and just moved on to NES full-time. If I would have stuck with GPK through OS15 I may have never come back later in life.

Also surprised to see Donna as the worst on several lists, but maybe I'm partial to her. her colors and detail, not to mention the fact that she ate a child make her a winner in my book! Not saying she's even a middle of the road os2, but def not the worst imo. To each their own though, love how subjective art is.

For me, I hate the white background cards. OS1 - Bad Brad/Cranky Frankie, OS4 - Bloated Blair. I can't think of others off the top of my head.

I still maintain if a GPK has got "the classic GPK face" then it should by default not be in anyones worst list

Ha, I never noticed that. Was that intention of POUND? Anyway, I might have to exclude that on my hated white background list. Although not a fave, it's not a bad card.

Some of my least favorite cards as a kid were ones that ended up being variation cards like Terri Cloth and Earl Painting. Back then I didn't understand why I kept getting so many more of those cards than others that it became annoying seeing them over and over haha. Same with the Lost GPK cards in Chrome 1. I hated pulling those over and over and not getting OS1 cards, esp packs that were all Lost GPK π€

Just curious, those os5 hot Doug hatin' peeps. Is it the face and hand of the consumer that kills this card for you? Either way you're all dead to me . For me it's the hand and the face of the human lol But I do like that I can almost hear doug's legs crunching as the first bite is taken

May I just add: the fact that some of us hate certain pieces may be linked to our childhood, when we got MANY doubles of a certain card, this might be why I hated Dale Snail, any psychiatrists out there?
