I can see the horror ones going for big bucks . the art was good . but most of the art for these online sets are very bad . the artist that did terrible tonya . he seems to be there go to guy for these sets . you can tell immediately which ones he did . his style just doesn't work for gpk . anyone else agree ?

The centi pete is a great concept wish it was executed better. I agree . but the art is horrible . they should stick to like ? 4 or 5 of the solid artists that know how to do a proper gpk .

blocked buster, Atari, and the milk one are the only ones that have the 'gpk" feel . in my opinion . decent concepts and good art .
who is the artist that did burln wall and masked matt. I realy don't like his work at all ......

The art is getting better, along with the concepts. I guess I’ll start collecting again in January. not so fast , judging by the sell sheet for the 2018 set .......... it looks realy bad

I agree the art is pretty sweet. but way too much money . wish they just saved this for a upcoming release . I hate ordering from topps and getting dinged up cards in a plastic case. been there done that . I rather pull mint cards from a pack.

ok guys , so im still keeping my word ......... for now ....... yes im weak .... lol I took a peek at some of the stuff on ebay and there are a few I realy dig . and a lot that I just don't "get" with the gpk's we grew up with , we would look at a card love the art and "get" the gag immediately . now I look at some of these and say ? ok ? this looks nothing like a gpk and I just don't "get" the gag ........ has anyone here opened up a box yet ?
ratio of good and bad in your opinion ?
a lot of people are complaining about the re issues that come in the fat packs . but I will probably get some of those . yes they are reprints . but it will be nice to have "mint" copies of those subjects. we all know it is difficult to pull a mint on center card back then .....

these are pretty good . but once again ........ the artist that did end les . his art doesnt capture the "gpk" style that we love .going forward topps has to get rid of this kind of artist .

Post by damien308 on Oct 6, 2017 0:23:45 GMT -5
confused as to why they over printed this stuff ? im pretty comfortable saying that gpk sales should be down . I would think they would print less.this time I wont buy a box until I see the images ........... which sucks because I love opening up packs and seeing new art for the first time . the element of surprise is gone . I refuse to buy any more boxes only to find out I like 5 percent of the cards .

wow , im actualy shocked they have the full images shown ............ but yeah .......... there bad soooooooo bad .......... def not worth 100 bucks ... that is a days pay for me . I like simko as an artist but the other guy that worked on this set..... is realy bad. he defenetly doesn't have the feel for gpk .

sounds like its gonna be released in set form . everyone gets all the same cards. except maybe each set ships with a different sketch card

Post by damien308 on Aug 26, 2017 20:47:09 GMT -5

I believe the title came from the VH1 "I Love The 80s" theme. Brent pointed out it works better as "I Loathe The 80s" Brent did all the preview cards while Jungwha did the wrappers. its still a realy dumb choice

Not convinced, looks like a step in the right direction but we'll see. At the end of the day, no matter how bad it is, I know I'll end up getting a set anyway the right direction ? the sell sheet looks just as bad as the last ...... and the one before that

These look just as bad as the previous releases. Then again most of the previews are from Brent and I hate his style. They should have selected a card from every different artist to show variety. totally agree .the only ones I realy dig are the pastors and the e t card . and what is with the theme here ? we hate the 80's ? um ? the 80's were cool ............ gpk came out in the 80's ........... so why would we hate the 80's ? man ................ topps is clueless . cant wait for the diaz/ping kickstarter ....
