Ah, s**t. Too bad tickets are already sold out for all days. I'll be in San Diego that weekend too. That sucks. SDCC tickets are next to impossible to get anymore. I'm glad I was able to experience it in 2008.

Well it looks like the Black Market Trading Company did it again. Bukimi Kun Series 2. Just got mine yesterday. Bukimi Kun Series 2 mirrors the Israeli Havurat Hazevel 2nd series set. The same 209 cards plus Bukimi Kun Series 2 has 6 additional cards (5 censored cards and a promo card). It comes in a sweet box. The cards are basically a perfect match for the original Bukimi Kun cards. Same paper, same backs, they are stickers and the peel crack is even in the same spot. I just updated my blog with more info - Japanese Bukimi Kun Series 2This might be the coolest one yet. Sweet ass packaging and new Bukimi cards. Double win

Love the sarcasm!!! Yes he was there (I thought you were going too, Rob?!) and yes that pic was taken last year. He had various art for sale although I cannot recall exactly what was on the table now other than his newer convention posters and T Shirts. I did buy a 2019 Convention poster "GPK Dollhouse" (I got #1 of 100 woohoo!). I thought it was a brilliant piece. For the most part I don't collect the new stuff anymore, so there was nothing being sold at the convention that I would want. The only "newer" artist I buy from is Mark, and I can buy from him online. But I would have went if a group of us had committed beforehand to going and had a plan to meet up. I would love to go to one of these things just to meet some UG people. If a bunch of us plan it out, I will go to the next one! Getting this group together isn't a good idea.

I’ve been contacted about Minikins more in the last 3 weeks than the last 3 YEARS, so I’m wondering... why now? What’s going on? (If you are looking for Minikins pm me) All it took was putting the unsold product into stupid slime canisters overseas.

Same thing happened with Circuit City back when they closed. I don't know if they still exist though. Circuit City......now there’s a blast from the past I loved Circuit City until Best Buy came out. Best Buy just organized everything better.

On Facebook someone posted that they found current GPK at a Toys R Us in Toronto back in March of this year. Any stores around you? Wait so they close all the Toys R Us stores in the U.S. but Canada still gets Toys R Us stores? Unreal. Same thing happened with Circuit City back when they closed. I don't know if they still exist though.

Just received replies from the seller: "This is the same official Garbage Pail Kids book with the pink dust cover. So, the pages are the same with pictures of original series 1-5 from 1985-1986. It just happens to be the only leatherbound copy in existence. Thanks for your interest!" and when I asked about provenance information & who made it: "This is something that I bought directly from the person that did the custom work. There is no provenance. All I can tell you is that I bought it almost 5 years ago and have never seen another one. Thanks again!"
So, just some nameless rando made it! I'd say he's priced it far too low.
Truly a one of a kind, can’t miss item.

Rockhill godammit make yourself useful and get more info on the tombstones... Characters, different tombstone shapes, how thick, colors, materials. And, for fucks sake will there be an Ashley to Ashes sculpt??? Sometimes I think I’m the only one with VISION. No way they are smart enough for a Dustin to Dust tombstone.

Damien, why don’t you paint up a new set? You seem to bash every set that isn’t up to your standards. I know there have been some duds, but really after OS 9, there were plenty of examples of sub-par art. Pound and Pingatore aren’t coming back , so be happy we still have GPK. Just because Topps has tried to condition people to like low quality art, doesn't mean we have to accept it. I'd rather GPK just stop existing instead of getting this continual stream of quasi-GPK. Just because Pound and Ping aren't coming back doesn't mean that the art director can't do their job. How hard is it to keep people on a specific model? This style can be learned, but no one is directing anyone.

Hi everybody, I’ve been a collector for a little while. Got back into it recently. I’m born and raised in Colorado and started collecting back in the 80s when I was a kid, although not in any serious capacity. Currently looking for the Disintegrate Nate Cyan Printing Plate from the Adam Geddon series of 2017. What the f**k is an Adam Geddon? J/k - welcome and good luck with your search

Maybe i'm mixing it up with something but i remember a website, somewhat a game where there were a bunch of gpk characters and you can click on one of them and they would different weird actions, for example I remember one where the a boy would be on the phone with his friend and then he would vomit and it went through the phone and got on her. That’s all I remember but if you know what I’m talking about please reply because I can’t remember what the name is and it’s bugging me lol That was the old garbagepailkids.com website. They had the small animations when you went down the street with different characters. I think that was related to the code insert cards?? Did anyone ever save those animations? I thought I tried but couldn't figure out how. Would still like to try maybe using the wayback machine. I think that website was made for ANS1 and stuck around for a few years.

He does the eBay thing. Idk bout the site.....I just get so excited when I see GPK merchandise.....it's taken me since 1985 just to get a GPK shirt of a GPK I even wanted...that's what, 30 years??? ..that's unacceptable......I don't understand why topps just sat around with their thumbs up their butts instead of merchandising the crap out of GPK in addition to the cheap crap they released in the 80s (balls, cheap toys, buttons etc) then you got the people who complain "oh boohooo its a boot leg" or "waaaah it's not licensed" maybe instead of crying😭 like little titty babies about unlicensed GPK merchandise, they should be crying 😢to Topps about making shirts of OTHER than Adam Bomb and OTHER merchandise period, then there would be no need for bootlegs and unlicensed merchandise...sorry lol...this isn't directed to you..I get passionate about certain things and I can't shut up...unless you're going to bitch about if its licensed or not cuz idk .......in that case...then go back and re read starting with 😢. Topps STILL hasn't created a Guillo Tina shirt or Swell Mel or Nervous Nellie shirt or Mirror Imogene...Jesus, the possibilities with the hundreds no thousands of different GPK characters...but nope. ..let's make cereal and energy drink and a candy bar with Adam f**cking Bomb on it but lets just sell in a store (FYE) that no longer exists in most of the states !!! Ok..sorry for the rant. I remember when I cared enough to rant. I’ve lost all faith that Topps will ever do anything right.

"– 54010-A: 1:64 Garbage Pail Kids Series 1 – Quinn Quake – 1957 Plymouth Belvedere – 54010-B: 1:64 Garbage Pail Kids Series 1 – Pile Up Kyle – 1983 Chevrolet Monte Carlo – 54010-C: 1:64 Garbage Pail Kids Series 1 – Buck Truck – 1995 Modified Monster Truck – 54010-D: 1:64 Garbage Pail Kids Series 1 – Redwood Ralph – Classic Volkswagen Beetle – 54010-E: 1:64 Garbage Pail Kids Series 1 – Post Al – Mail Truck – 54010-F: 1:64 Garbage Pail Kids Series 1 – Clutch Clint – 2012 Dodge Challenger" These are all GPKs from 2016 or later, I believe. So no OS or even ANS characters in this series. And the Post Al GPK is a mailBOX, isn't it? I'm jumping on this. I'll grab a few and jump on them.

Who is going to the show? I'm considering it. If you are close (within 4hrs), you should do it. It's a no-brainer this year. It's a bummer that Brent isn't there, but it should be worth it for Mark and Tom.

Wow, very cool to see all those sold roughs! Where the heck are they now!? You'd think they would pop up for re-sale every once in a while. I'd say that Roy Bot would easily fetch $1,000 but maybe closer to $2,000. BUT, if you have a crazy GPK and Transformer fan, the sky is the limit. I would easily pay $1000 for it! Maybe even $2000! So where is it?? I didn't say it wouldn't sell for $4K. I just think that's a crazy price. I wouldn't pay $1K for it, but I'm not into roughs unless the final doesn't exist. I only own 2 roughs myself. An OS16 one and an ANS5 one that is part of a progression framing deal. The bottom line though. It's worth how much someone is willing to pay. EDIT: Oops, I have 3 roughs. I forgot I had the rough for ANS4 Hollow Wayne. I haven't gotten around to deciding if I want to sell it yet.
