That banner on the old art looks poopy. So you want the OS 10 banner forever ? I guess it looks better?

This would be much cooler as a thick stock card with a QR code or hologram, along with blockchain. What does the word CARD mean? That banner should replace the OS10-current banner . I’ve been asking Topps for years, with no response. They can obviously use a more OS GPK banner and get rid of that ugly birthday banner they have used since 87.

So any news on the direction of GPK at SDCC ? Any info if Pound will be doing new GPK ? I hadn’t seen or heard anything and it seems like that would have been announced if so.

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.

These are great, I don’t know why Topps doesn’t use that style of logo on the cards, in lieu of the 10th-15th style banner. It looks more retro and is obviously more attractive than that generic lawsuit banner .

There was a newer GPK Adam Bomb binder on tonight’s episode of the Goldbergs. I rarely watch, it was another nice GPK nod, but couldnt the props department get a true 80s binder?

Autograph cards popping up on eBay, if you like spoilers. Looks like they are out in the wild!

I really hope they have hired a true GPK fan as brand manager. The BNS was a great start, it just got derailed. Maybe if GPK were hobby only or they sold a similar set, not called GPK, for Target and younger fans .

This is the type of banner I believe would work- it is still used occasionally, so I don’t understand why they use the 10-16os style. ibb.co/cAGRC9

I just really think die cut and the flat original banner would do wonders . I don’t think they still have to use that banner from OS 10-16. I don’t know why they don’t try and give these cards an original look. If Mark can do it, why the eff can’t Topps? Also, a combined chrome 3/4 set with 82 cards would be amazing. I don’t know why no one at Topps remembers the series 3/4 OS rack packs. Most of us started collecting in 86 anyhow! It’s the series we all want.

The artwork is vastly improved, due to their being all real artists now that a couple of lovebirds are out of the picture. I don’t think people should bash what looks to be a continuation of really the post-CPK look. I don’t think we are going to get a set with John Pound Cabbage Patch characters ever again. I wholeheartedly agree there have been some bad sets with sub par artwork lately .

Got my blaster box today, still waiting on my complete set from eBay. The reused concepts must be IM’s bread and butter, as they are horrible. I actually lol’d at a few of these, for the first time in a while. Still no sightings at East Tennesee Target stores.

I’ve tried to just accept that they teased us with BNS and maybe if I just look at these as a continuation of series 10, which the banner reflects , it’s easier to accept. There were horrendous pieces of art in ANS, but also some great pieces. I’m trying to stop expecting OS 1-9 quality and characters, since it seems like Topps doesn’t care. I genuinely believe they aim their artwork at the kids at Target, hoping that their parents will get excited as well. I think they must make a huge percentage of their profit at big box , not hobby.

As long as the theme is the 80s, I’m OK with it. I can’t get into the red cheeks ... why is this a thing?? I’m not expecting pristine artwork, but red cheeks are for clowns . My wife has over 100 CPK’s and the cheeks are a light pink, no red. It just looks like bad art and the concepts are actually good. Can we get one GREAT artist or maybe 2 doing a set per year?

I don’t like the unfinished GPK style of DG or the work of IM. I think GPK deserves better. But this is just my opinion , so it’s to be taken lightly, not as fact.

Come on guys, I know there has been some bad art, but there were plenty of examples of bad art after OS series 10 through all releases . Let’s try to give this set a chance. Kinda like giving DJT a chance. Bahahaha

The art is getting better, along with the concepts. I guess I’ll start collecting again in January.

Maybe for $39.99 and with the original GPK banner... But alas , they still don’t get it.
