Damn, I’d barely pay that much for artwork. Maybe I’m a cheap fugg tho What a bidding war! seen this before, glad I lost, as I hate auctions. Remind's me when I lost to R##k over that evil Eddie psa 10 for 6,700 something. Realizing he had over paid he sold it for 4k and kept his original EE he was planing to upgrade. now its going to go from a pop 3 to a 7+ because of the attention I did pm the the seller saying, name your price. will pay using PayPal and friend's. no response Someone took a $2700 bath on a PSA card? That stings.

It appears a reply to this thread is 2 years to late, but here's my 1980's GPK drama: My best friend and I were hanging out at his house back in 3rd Grade (approx 1987). He was my best friend and we typically got along great, but he was kind of an a$$ sometimes. Overall he was a nice guy and we're still friends and hang out to this day (our young boys are on a soccer team together right now even), but he was competitive at everything he did, and I guess was just the "alpha" of our relationship, if there was one... makes sense because he was 1 year older than me. Anyway, we were playing in his room that day doing whatever it was that we were doing and we must have been starting to fight about something, or we were slowing getting mad at each other for whatever reason. We started arguing more and more. Eventually, I took one of his GPKs that he had on top of his dresser (I'll never forget, it was a Santa Claus one - Chris Mess), and I crushed it in my hand. That turned our argument into a slug fest. So we started fighting and hitting each other. The funny thing was we weren't full on punching, but we were swinging at each other with the sides of our fists. This was because tetherball (if anyone remembers that) was HUGE on our playground and we were trying to hit each other like we would try to hit the tetherball. It was just our natural swing at that point. Eventually, his Mom came in and separated us. We were crying and I felt like I lost my best friend. Fast forward 10 minutes and his Mom gave us a snack and we talked and started looking at his fish tank and everything was back to normal. But me crushing his GPK (because he was being an a$$) started the only real fight we ever had. Haha, I’d have fought you too. You can desecrate a Chris Mess or even the lesser Sandy Clod like that

If you are looking for normal 10s then probably not. All of them are off center. The Adams look the best in that regard.

Amazing card. How high will it go? I can't believe it's already at $1500. Seller is going to clean up.

dude, im doing backflips over here!!! all four of those hks are beautiful cool you picked up phantasm and real cool you and game8 could work something out for the hk2. and the cheetarah and mario finals are beauties...dang!! congrats on the pickups...got me drooling over all this sweet art Thanks Rahul! I think selling the Rick R. Treat final set something off within me. I had it on the market for months, intent on selling it the entire time, because I felt guilty about how much money I had spent overall on art. But as soon as it sold, I felt regret. And I think at that point I immediately stopped caring about the money - I stopped feeling guilty. So I decided to be aggressive and go out and get the art I wanted. And my god, was that a lot of art! It was important to me to have a final from each HK series. I was lucky that Mark still had an HK1 for sale. I was even more lucky that Game8 was willing to sell his HK2 piece. Mark sold all his HK2 finals, and only nine exist. So HK2 is the most difficult to obtain. I couldn’t have done this without Game8’s help, and I will be forever grateful to him. You are right about the Cheetara and Mario pieces. The green background on Cheetara is so vivid. I was not expecting that (even though I already had the color rough). She is not my favorite Thundercat, but that piece might be my favorite of the set. And the Mario piece is just straight-up awesome. Mario coming out of that pipe with a turd in his hand sealed the deal for me, ha ha! But I am not done. There will be more coming. I used to hem and haw about the cost, but I am beyond that now. I guess I am fully infected by the art collecting virus, ha ha! You joke about not being on Raoul's level, but I think you are going for the title. Extremely nice pick-ups.

Absolutely NOT! I have been getting these through thick and thin since 2003. Even during that sh!tty two year period of the elections. But I am DONE. Four weeks of this crap. $200! And that if you are able to check in every day and have money. Otherwise it's off to the Ebay scalpers for three times the price. And this time I will NOT be giving my money to scalpers either. TOPPS has lost a buyer. Nice to see people not buy into this bulls**t sales model.

I’m taking my kids to see this movie now, just because a company actually listened to fans for once.

This reminds me of something that happens a lot on ebay. A buyer will send me an offer for one of my listings, and I will take the time to consider it and often times will counter. But then the buyer just ignores the counter. If you don't like the offer, decline it! I took the time to counter yours. Lately I haven't been countering at all. I straight-out decline offers I don't like, and will include a message indicating my rock-bottom price in case the buyer wants to send a new offer. I'm tired of being left hanging. Maybe they lose interest while you contemplate?

Hi Guys, Found this page on from Google and hope someone can help. I've found a pile of GPK cards from probably around 1990 and wondered if anyone would be able to help me identify if any are valuable. Im based in the UK and my email is amann20@sky.com if anyone is willing to give any advice. Thanks Anthony Post them up. Someone will know what you have.

School isn’t a bad theme. I only liked the art on one of the cards though. I think the themed thing should end. Diversity is good, too much of the same thing is bad. I agree OS3 was one of the most diverse sets with Centaurs, Robots, Dinosaurs, The grim reaper, Spiders, Mermaids, Sphinx, Statue of liberty, Werewolf and many more you can't get this wide range of characters with a themed set OS had mini themes in a few series. OS3 was always the animal series to me. OS6 was the patriotic series. But it was just a minor thing.

Complete March 17th 1989 Liberation French Newspaper featuring the Les Crados release. Beside the cover it has few pages/articles about them. Thanks for posting all of this stuff. You are posting things I’ve never seen before. Awesome stuff!

Wow, I was completely unaware that this happened. Diaz is the best artist that Topps had post OS and they only attacked him because they knew people would rather buy his art compared to the other garbage they've produced. Quantity not quality is Topps current motto. Sorry, I know this is old news but sucks to read. True dat

Hey folks, i'm new here. I hope this board is still active! It's nice to see other people who enjoy this goofy hobby as much as I do. Around 2016 I noticed a cardboard void in my life and I was longing for a purpose. One day I was watching an episode of Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the episode started with Charlie showing off his "investment" which was a huge binder full of GPK cards. It peaked my interest so I did some research and soon my obsession blossomed. Several mortgages later, I have a pretty sweet collection. REAL NAME: Jordan AGE: 29 OCCUPATION: Gutter Installer HOBBIES: Guitar - Collecting GPK's FAV GPK: 3a Froggy Frank / 3b Leggy Peggy FAV GPK ARTIST(s): Brent Engstrom - John Pound - Mark Pingitore - Joe Simko FAV MOVIES: Clash of the Titans (1981), Gladiator, Office Space, The Big Lebowski (but that's like, my opinion, man) FAV MUSIC BANDS: Clapton is God FAV TV PROGRAMS/ CARTOONS: Seinfeld, Fraiser, The Office, Always Sunny, King of The Hill PIC OF YOU: I'll show you mine if you show me yours LINKS: I prefer patties. SPECIAL TALENTS/SUPER POWERS: I see in 3 dimensions Welcome to the board. The board isn’t as active as it used to be, but it’s not dead yet. I had to look up your favorite GPK, I hadn’t heard of it before. Brent developed into a great GPK artist.

Here is some progress. Although I wanted a Thanksgiving themed character I may switch out Gavin for someone else. BUT I want a great alternative. I haven't really started Monte and Hector, but I really like both. Also, 4-10 all need some finishing touches or some major work. I also am much better at casting than in prior years, while Dinah will be a challenge, she will cast fine. I like feedback. Let me know your thoughts! These are great. Dinah turned out well.

I've been hard at work coming back into the hobby guys. I'd like some feedback about the next lineup: This is cool. Just being honest, but I think you could skip Thanks Gavin. That GPK is pretty much trash and there are so many better ANS to use....like Hollow Wayne or Orange Julius. Really interested to see how Dinah Saur turns out. That sculpt seems like it would be super difficult.

I was actually a member here some 10 years ago or so, but I seem to have forgotten my login info. Anyhow, I seem to be going through a divorce and need to liquidate some of my collection. Guess Ill go see if the trader section still exists. I may need some value advice.... all standard card sets and 'extra' cards that are just shy of completing more sets. Just thought I would say hey..... Sorry to hear about your divorce, but welcome back and good luck selling your stuff. It's a shame that the kids are always affected first in these type of situations.

I agree that a Trumpocracy 2020 set would be an absolute triumph!😎 And that's not the vodka and Bourbon smoothie I just finished doing the talking either. Sure, some might suggest that such a set would be a dumpster fire of cringe. Some even say that it would be more like a thermonuclear blast of cringe. But I say what the hell! How bad could it possibly be?😎 How bad could it be? As bad as the first time. I think Topps should do it though. People will buy anything so why not exploit them.
