That poll made me think they were going to add some new finals based on the fan favorites. But nope! Not sure how they are going to use the poll, if in any way.

Need to update all your photos in your collection thread Do you need the Norwegian single? Thanks, but I actually bought one from you a while back! The difference is in the copyright on the back, right?

So a toy company is releasing a GPK card set? That’s incredibly disappointing... My God I couldn't have said it better. I'm disgusted with it being a CARD SET I think the art looks cool but it is very far away from cpk/gpk style. They should have done it like stranger kids... At least with a diff name like Universal Monster Kids. I can barely find anything other than the logo/#/naming that makes them look like a gpk... Maybe the b/w wrapper.

The next GPK group gathering is most likely going to be Toycon Las Vegas March 26-29 2020 at Westgate Hotel. Everyone should make it. www.facebook.com/pg/vegastoycon/posts/ 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!

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.

Hmm. You wouldn't happen to be selling ANS series 2 on Ebay right now by chance. This scenario describes what I offered to someone a day or two ago. I would like to add my 2 cents. I have made hundreds of GPK purchases off Ebay and I have never sold anything. As for the Best offer with an auction, this options has been available for at least a couple years now. As for your displeasure of getting low offers, you have the option to counter offer, decline offer, or accept. Many people do accept a lower offer. You can always send a message to potential buyer explaining your desire for more money. I understand it may be annoying for someone to offer less than you were expecting; however, there could be legitimate reasons for said low offer. For instance, I made a low offer on the previously mentioned auction because I only needed 2 cards out of the entire 200 plus cards being offered. I wanted to know if the person was in a hurry to unload. If the seller had counter offered, we may have been able to come to an agreeable price. But the seller simply declined offer. Ok, now I know. I chose to place a bid instead of offering a second bid simply to prevent someone else from best offer choice. Once a bid is placed, the best offer choice goes away for auctions. Now, we will have to wait and see if anyone else is interested in this item. Many people (sellers) will accept a lower price because they really don't want to wait for the auction to end. A couple things to remember when buying and selling on Ebay. Ebay is a place to barter and sell items. Just because you want X amount for item doesn't mean buyer wants to pay you that much. Never forget the most important aspect when it comes to value of an item. Something/anything only has a value of what someone is willing to pay you for it. I don't care if you think something is worth $300, if no one will pay you that much, then it is not worth $300. If I am offering $80 for it and no one else is interested in item, then you have the choice of accepting my offer or not making a sale today. It is nothing personal, just business. Try not to get annoyed by it, there is a hell of a lot of things in the world to be angry or upset by, a lower than expected offer is not a big deal. I like this part " I don't care if you think something is worth $300, if no one will pay you that much, then it is not worth $300." Just made me remember: Also of note. Just because ONE person may buy something for $300 does not mean a 2nd, 3rd, etc. will for that same price. The sold prices are also not always the value of an item. The winner may have been a fanatic, buying on a whim, money burning too hot in their pocket, etc. To find a value of an item you should look at the other bidders. If there is a bidding war that also doesn't mean that the 2nd person would pay up to where they went in the war. I like looking at sold auctions and taking off the highest and lowest. Trying to look at the average sell price, the mean, using info in any price guides, forums, websites (if any) and then averaging all of that to find a more realistic value of what diff gpk items are worth.

Opie is a bute!! I took care of him when i had him. Colors really pop more in person. I miss him. But glad he keeps making so many collectors happy. Congrats! After months of hard work searching for and then acquiring it, I am thrilled to announce the latest piece in my collection - the final art for OS8 Soapy Opie: 304 RUBBIN' ROBYN / SOAPY OPIE FINAL ART I didn't do this alone. It took a lot of help. I am forever grateful to lobstrosity for trading the piece to me, and to mping82 and peacheswithpeaches for facilitating the deal. I also owe thanks to OS Mafia, Peter, Jimbo, and Pepe for their help in acquiring the piece. Thank you all - you helped me obtain my grail! I will not forget your kindness. Today I am truly a happy man. Awesome. It is a fantastic piece and I’m glad you got it. I loved it when I used to own it, but Chained Shane beat it out as my OS8 piece.

Lots of photos of them now on Ebay, so it looks like they have been shipped / received by various people... So it's come to this, has it? That people who already bought a meme set from Topps now must buy it a second time on eBay from scalpers? And somehow the scalpers are more reliable! What a time to be alive. Maybe the ones who didnt get it yet are the half that actually get a sketch? And that is why the ahipping is split? I only looked once but didnt see any sketches yet.

This made me think.. I DO NOT want more political cards.. But what they should have done back then was to parallel those stupid events with GPK characters instead of creating trumpcrap.

If anyone is interested. Topps has the Brand Manager position for non-sport products posted on Linkedin. What if..................... John Pound comes out of GPK retirement and takes the position? Bant Bant Bant Bant Bant...... damn alarm clock. I wouldn't think he'd want that postition, but with the right director my dream would be for them to bring back pound, diaz, and ping!!! Send them admiration, creative control, and $$$$. Make it so tempting they couldn't refuse. Hire me.. That would be my main agenda. Make GPK Great Again! Vote for ADAM Bomb! Lol

I just read on Facebook that Colin Walton has left Topps for the WWE. This info was posted by Dave Gross. Could GPK be better in the future? Could they be any worse? It could be worse if they do more trump crap.

Has anyone else been bidding on the We Hate the 80s 1/1 Blank Backs that Topps Vault is currently auctioning? I got the following: Dee and D Don-Geon Master Flo Worm Ar-Cade I wanted one of the Smurfs cards too, but didn't bid aggressively enough on Garga Mel, while Papa Murph went for $219 (which is a price I wasn't willing to pay!). They got a little expensive (though Flo Worm and Ar-Cade were on the cheaper side), but I figured I wanted something new to collect and do like these particular cards. Plus, having the rainbow AND the blank back of each of these cards makes them more special. So, what did you guys get? Did you lose any that you wanted? Anyone here pony up the $219 for Papa Murph? Wow, $219 for a card sold with a hologram on it? Don’t the new cards have blank backs anyways? Smh at these people. You can buy a color rough from Mark for $150. Shhh. Dont give away the secrets. Let them stay over there to buy those items.

Could it be Topps actually wants painted artwork and not computer drawn? This is an awesome piece! But I prefer there being actual paintings. I HIGHLY doubt that was their reason but a little part of me wishes they cared for a reason like that. They rejected the concept, the art was done after It was more of a rhetorical question or thought. My point was if they would ever care about knowing that the art would be digital or painted and hopefully rejecting a piece because of style, not only because of concept. But yeah colin wouldnt do anything like that. Lol

Here is an amazing GPK they didn't publish in this online set. This is the best looking one of them all and it's the best concept too. I'd have gone with this concept in an instant, even before seeing the final art. Matt from geepeekay posted this on facebook. The artwork was done by Michael Barnard. Wow, How in the hell did that get rejected?? Reminds me of something I love and don't see A lot of anymore..A GPK. Shame on Topps.. Could it be Topps actually wants painted artwork and not computer drawn? This is an awesome piece! But I prefer there being actual paintings. I HIGHLY doubt that was their reason but a little part of me wishes they cared for a reason like that.

This is a subject discussed all over the internet and people either love or hate either and will fight to the death about it, lose friendships, gain friendships or grow 4 arses. But my main question stand in here for Chrome 1 upwards, not necessarily what is best, but more, what do you look out for most. You may prefer BGS as they rate stricter but own more PSA, how does that affect you? do you choose to buy all of 1 type or do you buy sections in a type. Like all Dead Fred Chrome in BGS and all Live Mike in PSA. I haven't sent a single card out to be rated yet, I bought some crazy watch fixing magnifying glasses for $6.50 so I'll look like a mad doctor as I stare at my cards for any imperfections before I send them out. I'm leaning more towards BGS but have accounts with both and feel there seems to be more PSA out there. I have two PSA which I bought from ebay, both Prisms rated 9, just wanted to see wha they looked like and they're very nice. Not only that BGS seems pretty cheap at $10 each on batch compared to PSA's $18, though I hear there are lots of deals each month when you sign up for their yearly subscription of 6 or 15 cards free plus benefits. Can anybody pass on any knowledge of experience of this? :-) Thank you in advance Duncan I find neither are good as neither have a stardized process for keeping their graders in check and equalized. This is severely lacking for something like this and which is expected with any sort of grading or scoring.

Wish they let people know months in advance. Now I bet if I go to Riot Fest next year they won't have a set!! I don't really care for a few of the names. I do find it VERY interesting that they only used well versed artists. - Did Riot Fest specifically ask for these awesome guys work? - Was Topps worried and only wanted to provide their best work?
Does anyone have any idea how Riot Fest can pay for official GPK but Gross Con can't?
