 Non-GPK items: Examples of the array of interesting series and art work from many different countries, (huge in France). Ive also included some random stickers, exhibition promos and bits and bobs I got while collecting foreign GPK. I think I just love the idea of a neat and tidy set of creative pieces designed around a theme with an album and sealed packs for extra intrigue. **Definitely more to get here, so please let me know any names of series that you think I'd like from different countries/cultures, the weirder the better! |

Right I think I deserve a cup of tea now.
Ill finish off this section tomorrow with just a little bit of foreign items, then move into my last collection section, close ups of rare items.
Any thoughts you have, feedback etc, is always appreciated. After all, collections only come alive when they are enjoyed by others who share the passion.
cheers
Russ

My 2nd piece of art, and with a difference... Dustin Graham's handy work, made for FS4. Love the colours and because its related to a new GPK country via the FS lads. This is also the perfect way to show the FanSets next... This guy looks familiar! :-) |

  Colombian GPK bank notes Not only did Colombia produce as many albums as Italy, the Colombian kid's high GPK demands also made one of the best items...their own GPK currency. Their fiscal policy obviously has some potential! |

 If I was going to frame 5 cards that sum up my GP interest it might be these 5. Not my favorite colour range, but iconic none the less. UK Russell Muscle = My named character in my home country GPK BK Adam Bomb = The ultimate in a single high end GPK rare sticker Louco Moe Skeeto = This character used to give me an actual physical feeling every time I looked at him in primary school thinking of that stinger plunging into my head, dam right I'd be crying like Moe is. Also one of my favorite rare series from South America US Semi Colin = The original country of origin, and a nod to the errors, variations and other querks GPK has to keep us hooked and Lastly, the first ever GPK character, with whom we wouldn't have this forum without him. |

What is/are the card(s) to the left of the Japanese Melty Misfits? I can't actually remember where this single "Graveface Records" card came from, I've checked my boxes for any more clues but none, so sorry can't confirm. Googling the banner and name it only shows a skull lovin mob record label. I think I may have actually received this in the post as a bonus card from a purchase. I think my punishment for not being able to answer your question should be that I now must go and buy lots of non-GPK sets to establish a much better non-GPK collection. Forgive me. (I hope that's the card you meant!) |

It seems the guy who runs it is a big GPK fan.   |

So, its business time...
Time to post the 3rd section of my collection...
The Best of the Best. Close up and personal.
It took a lot of everything to get these to be able to live within my collection, and I'm so so glad I made the effort to achieve it. They deserve to be all together as one big happy global GPK family.

 Fan Set 3 (Hindi) Another amazing set using script for far off lands and cultures. Its inclusive and a stroke of genius again, now with wax packs. Special items this time include a printing plate of the packs, a test print sheet of a pack, and an envelope printed by one of the guys and sent to a few lucky UG members (not me for the envelope but still managed to bag one from a cool member who has now moved on. I think the burger juggling Buddha is one of my favourite concepts, it works so well! All I am say about all your fan set stuff is WOW! I don't even know about that FS3 envelope?? It has the FS1 banner on it and FS3 artwork. Also, FS1 uncut sheet? Awesome. I know we raffled off a set of uncut sheets back in the day but I don't remember who won them. Glad to see it made it into the collection of somebody who appreciates the fan sets so much. |
