With so many OS 2 finals... Isn't it time to let go of an OS 3 final, say Norman? I have a color rough that would go great next to it😇 No the only cure is to let go of some OS2 finals

Ok I'm in contact with this person and have full confidence we will get this deal done. I handle he best deals the bigly deals, uuuge deals. So that will be a no for Rampage tickets but he is willing to perform at your bachelorette party as Dwayne Johnson. That's his go to cosplay so it will be great trust me. Hmm...I wasn't planning to have a bachelorette party (because I'm a Scientologist/paint huffing enthusiast). But if he's willing to dress as The Rock... Okay, I'm in. If! If he dresses in the fairy costume from The Tooth Fairy and kicks me in the balls with a steel-toed shoe while telling me I'm a disappointment as a man and as a son. Sorry he only does late 80s early 90s Rock.

I told him you would take any Trump art for the Sam but he said he doesn't want it that bad and come down to earth. Tell him I *might* consider it if he throws in a pair of tickets to see Rampage starring Dwayne Johnson. Ok I'm in contact with this person and have full confidence we will get this deal done.

And lastly, why in the world would I trade my precious Soft Boiled Sam color rough for this guy's lousy Leaky Lindsay? I don't know who this joker is, but there's no way I'm responding to him! I told him you would take any Trump art for the Sam but he said he doesn't want it that bad and come down to earth.

I don't really follow how this works but I'm in for some fun. Do you definitely get something for your $50? Like top five win the cool prizes but everyone who plays at least gets something from the PSA pile? Odds are you get 2 things, jack and s**t. Best of luck to you.

I have 1 full series 1 set with duplicates and 1 full series 1 set mini. I also have 2nd-4th series. I'm interested in selling depending on what they would go for. I've had them since I was a child so they do hold quite bit of sentimental value to me. I'd prefer not to split up any of the sets by selling individual cards. Will sell as a lot or by set. For anyone that is interested- I do have pictures, however, I'm not sure how to upload them on this post. If allowed, I can email pictures upon request. I'm new to this forum so I apologize for not knowing the best way to provide pictures. You can post a link to your YouTube video, that's probably the easiest way and very encouraged around here whether you are selling or not. We love the collection show offs.

I don't see anything that says "Made in Taiwan", but here are some pics: You can see these are horribly miscut, and that the colors are over-saturated on the front and muted on the back. You can also see (especially on Smelly Kelly) that the printer left weird coloration (see above the GPK banner). Here again, you see the colors are off and the cards are miscut. Also, there are these weird "ghost" die cut lines on the front of the cards. They aren't actually double-die cut, but there is an outline as if they were. On the back of Ray Gun, you can see there is a dark field on which the "GPK 2nd Series Checklist" header sits. Like this was a photo-copied image of a real card. And here are a couple of the OS3 cards. Again, very muted coloring on the front, and terrible cutting. Also, most of these cards are on lesser quality card stock than real GPKs. It's almost like thick paper, rather than a card. And most of them don't have that waxy coating that real GPKs have. See that OS2 Live Mike back, for instance. It looks like a matte finish, even though OS2 didn't have matte Live Mike backs. That's because there is no waxy quality to it, it's just faded paper. Maybe *some* of these 150+ cards are real GPKs that were poorly hand-cut from uncut sheets. But most of them are clearly fakes. It literally looks like they may have had kids cut them yikes 😆 If they came from China kids probably manufactured them. So you're right kids did cut them out.

I bought a lot of about 1100-1200 original series GPKs on eBay last week, and I started going through them today. After a first pass through, I've weeded out about 150 counterfeit cards. The fakes are all from series 2 and 3. I've never encountered fake cards before (at least not that I know of), but I can tell they are fake because the card stock is different, the colors are off, and/or the cut is very amateur. I am going to take a second pass through them, because my intention is to re-sell them and I don't want to include any fakes. Is there anything else I should be looking out for to help identify the fakes? I'm not going to confirm that the card numbers and copyright dates are correct, because that would take hours. But is there anything I haven't thought of that would help me quickly weed them out? I remember seeing some fake OS2 sheet pics on FB and they had “made in Taiwan” printed on them. Got pics of the fakes? You should get 4sharpcorners to submit these to PSA for you. They should get plenty of 9s out of these, some 10s too.

I got to Garbage Pail Kid status at 250 posts. But the real question is what does it take to get to 5-star status? Because I see some people here with only 300+ posts that have 5 stars, but others with many more posts that still have only 4 stars. So is graduation to 5 stars not dependent on number of posts? Is there something "special" we have to do for (or to) the board moderators to achieve 5-star status? And if so, would they at least buy us dinner first? You have to be nominated to receive a title and colorful font. Then, if Cory confirms the nomination, he will hook you up. Usually sending a moderator some OS final art does the trick. I dunno, you can also get creative. I won’t tell you which final tommy4ya sent out to get his title. Thats kinda true. I told them I would give up a OS1 final for the glory of a 5 star flair, since I am a 5 star man its only natural. They hooked me up, I sent it Busted Bob, they said naw you can keep it and they didn't revoke my status because there isn't an undo button for it apparently.

I wonder what kind of scary situations the Goldbergs will be placed in in the new set. This makes me angry, mostly because its probably true, like 20 card subset of all the goldbergs costumes.

You guys ever held two contradictory thoughts in your head at the same time? There was an OS3 partial PSA-9 master set (75/88) that sold for $500 on eBay today, and part of me is upset that I didn't buy it, and the other part of me is relieved that I didn't spend the money. I'm sure it was a GREAT deal, but I don't actually have $500 kicking around so it would have put a strain on my finances. Plus, why spend $500 on something that will sit in a box unseen for the vast majority of its life? Still, when I think of how I let an almost complete PSA set of OS3 (my favorite GPK series) slip through my fingers, I feel like a huge asshole. Don't be so hard on yourself. You aren't a huge asshole for not buying an OS3 set for 500. You're a huge asshole because you don't recognize that OS2 is the best set.

Just bought tickets to see Marcy Playground and Everclear in concert this June. Think I might celebrate by logging on to AOL and chugging down a can of Surge. Saw Everclear at the HFStival in 1995, amazing show. Lead singer was sick so he did his entire set in like fast forward. Great times, but damn I'm old. Would you like to borrow my Zubaz pants?

Yeah, GPKTILLDEATH is no longer on the UG. I think he is on Facebook, but I wouldn't know since I don't have an account. I've got a Cracked Jack mini proof, and you can see a pic on my collection thread. That ain't for sale though! Don't listen to him, EVERYTHING is for sale. Time to pull out the heavy guns for this trade. Not 1, not 2, but 3 Hillary Clinton GPKs. I know I'm exceedingly generous.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but after going back through 15 sets if I have a complete set with all variations and more cards that aren't quite a complete set do I keep the complete set with variations or make two sets? I've read several things that have said some collectors collect variations only while some collect glossy, matte only etc. This is why I question this. Thanks for any advice. And just curious have all of you collected since you were kids or picked it up later? I've seen some awesome collections on here! So really depends on the variations. Like OS1 glossy and matte are 2 different sets, so like the variations make up a complete set. But for OS2 you have matte, glossy Mike and glossy Tessie. The glossy Tessie award backs are exactly the same as the Mike award backs so no sense in having 3 different sets for that one. OS3 has a whole copyright, no copyright and differing stars on the back. I don't really care enough to get variations of that one so best of luck.

This was a high-quality joke. This is the kind of subscription-quality content I provide to you guys free of charge on a regular basis. What the hell do you mean free?? I pay Cory 19.95 per month for this content, how do you get it for free?

This is the guy that lists a proof for almost 30,000 and trump art for almost 25,000. His prices are no where near the realm of reality I'm sure he must understand that. There aren't many finals I would consider paying 30k for, let alone some f**cking proof.
