As bad as the sock card is, fork-in-socket is definitely up there for all time worst card.

Nice additions David! The GPK artist I contacted is a newer artist (he worked on the latest release). But I'm just venting steam. FWIW, Engstrom doesn't do a color rough, and i don't think Simko has done them for a few years either.

There are a couple good ones in here but on a whole, not so good. I really like the milk carlton, but wtf is wrong with those hands! billo check out the card in the upper right Good god, enough already! Ok, maybe just recycle this one more time- Jimbo, can we get a "Topps Sucks" card with a photo shop of Colin unzipping himself to reveal a stack of $. ...didn't we have a prince card already in battle of the bands ? in we hate the 80's he is on a tricycle ? once again ....... where is the gag ? these are not gpk's Of the few cards i like from this set, Layron's Prince card is one of them. Its a spoof on the Purple Rain album cover.

Bummer Tommy, but your long named little dude is top priority. I know mine resulted in a slowing down of picking stuff up!

Topps has had some pretty low points IMO (ANuS 2). I wasn't too happy when they started selling SDCC "exclusives" on their site and was even less excited when they were giving them away. Worsening art, fanset bs, and the trend of doing the opposite of what fans want (diecuts, no Jung wa, OS16, less parallels ect)...
Right around this time is when i found out they had given artists Ping and Potter slack about there side projects and that was it. Fugg Topps. Also, i suspect they are hitting on my wife when i'm not around. You can't trust these sleazebags. F'em.

Am I the only one who thinks this is actually an "ugly" negative?

BIG NEWS! We are shutting the Page down....We re-opened a GROUP! Its a private group...only members with art may join...Its meant to be small and trusting place to talk, trade sell and buy art..It will have a place to add a Collection Album for each member. I will also be giving away PING rough art of the winners choosing...after 20 members make an Album!!! PLEASE PLEASE if you own any art come give this group a try... I like that its private, since i primarily use FB for family photo sharing. I posted a pic of a gpk rough a few days ago and one of my cousins "liked" it . ...My biggest beef with FB is things just get lost over time. You post something today, and in a week it's drowned out by other posts... Amen. If it had some kind of "structure" it would make forums obsolete (though it has certainly taken quite a bit of traffic away from this forum and the automotive forums i'm on).

She's right, but worth it IMO. Seriously though the babies are the worst to get bit by. I had a coworker get bit by a baby diamondback years ago... never was the same afterword, and walked with a limp.

Hell I wish more than anybody that card was worth $350. With that sliding scale my collection would be worth millions. Â Â Perhaps billions!

GPK have devolved into the third party bootlegs of the 80's. Meanwhile, the 3rd party sets have evolved into the GPK of the 80's Perfect assessment.

First of all, viva la UG.
Topps has done so much to piss me off as a collector directly/indirectly that i haven't bought a base set since the 2015 S1, but i won't even buy the good stuff going forward IE: Funko's or Chrome 3. Its unfortunate, but i'll just keep collecting OS stuff and black minikins.
