I guess this is another British comedy for me to watch! I just bought Porridge on DVD, so I will add this one to the list.

I got scared for a sec They say they are only entertaining *serious* offers, yet they listed the proof at an extremely unserious price. Who is the intended market for this listing? Extremely wealthy people who collect GPK and wouldn't spend that $30k on original art? Good luck!

Continues to mystify me!!!

if you read the description, you will see that the seller is including: not 1, but ALL 4 bonus cards!!!! now i think all can agree, 50 grand seems a bit more reasonable for a content-less book.

WTF is in the book? It doesn’t even say.
Maybe it has a hole cut out with $49,990 in it.
Then it might be worth it.

Just received replies from the seller:
"This is the same official Garbage Pail Kids book with the pink dust cover. So, the pages are the same with pictures of original series 1-5 from 1985-1986. It just happens to be the only leatherbound copy in existence. Thanks for your interest!"
and when I asked about provenance information & who made it:
"This is something that I bought directly from the person that did the custom work. There is no provenance. All I can tell you is that I bought it almost 5 years ago and have never seen another one. Thanks again!"
So, just some nameless rando made it! I'd say he's priced it far too low.

Truly a one of a kind, can’t miss item.

Yeah, definitely GPK's highest point! I think the world will look back in five to ten years and realize what a bizarre thing it was to have made a GPK set of that person. Some of the artists who did that set seemed to have some weird, creepy, obsession with him. During the presidential race, most of the gags were on Trump. Just creepy, obsessive, over-the-top behavior by some of those artists. It’s a hive mind mentality. People are weird like that

That’s really cool. $152k is bonkers, but it had to take years and thousands of dollars to complete.

If true OS1 gems are your thing, maybe this is worth it. But man, $152k? Look at that beautiful art collection Jimbo just posted. One piece from each of OS1 through OS16, and it cost only a fraction of the price. And it's 1/1 original art! I'd much rather have Jimbo's collection than that PSA set. Hell, I'd rather have Jimbo himself than that PSA set. Come on Jimbo, what do you say? You can live in my basement and do odd jobs for me. And I'll feed you whatever I can slide underneath the basement door! Mostly pizzas and pancakes I would imagine.
