I wanted to share my passion for gpk here. I love to collect just about everything gpk . Cheap toys and non US albums really speak to me . Here in the more recent days I have been tasked with displaying my collection . This is a incredibly slow hard task for me . Onto the pics These fun old price guides are really special to me. The local card shop I bought from was called Larry's. I am guessing the copy is from vol 3? Good ole Larry would sell to me and all my friends based off these prices . Then one fateful day in cincinnati a tornado hit five blocks from my house and blew up Larrys card shop ?. We were forced to find a new vender to buy from like Van lunens. Another local store like a sports store similar to Dicks here in Ohio . So fast forward to today and I managed to get these 6 copies and still have my photo copy sheet ! Check out this

Of course Cheap Toys has been fun to buy trade and sell . Good grief I was close to that neon red set! What happened lol A photo from pre electric blue . I had found 2 electric brainy''s These old neon yellows also found new homes Man I love these things We would discuss what the heck the colors should be called Come on in take the plunge And looking for variants Ahhh then the candy I looked over all the candy variants If memory serves me there were two sizes or name prints but this pic showed at the time every different name or size I had

What's a collection without an uncut sheet And I tell you a proper frame for a uncut sheet is not easy to find , almost have to have it custom made . I asked around to have one made that was double sided so I could enjoy both sides whenever I wanted . But never had the frame made .

The Imperial blue packaged toys And the backs . Interesting the back of the pop ups and the directions on the tacky snappers Look at the drawing of Adam on the back ! That's awesome . And after it becomes a tangled mess it will easily go back to its original form As well as the colors of the snappers or the crappy red rubberband holding the targets n a stack . Looks like red, green , yellow and purple ish lol Below is a bit closer pic of the rings I have . Only a partial from a box. Makes we wonder what the sale price was ? I have a few of these bad boys Booya

Now who didn't have a few hi bounce balls growing up ?? Well I thought it would be fun to test on of these bad boys out . I know super great idea right . So wrong . When I whipped it down it came back up in 2 pieces Lmbo . Well I really wasn't laughing but makes me wonder , if this production error was anticipated ? A bounce ball with two pieces of paper smack dab in the middle , I've been looking for the other half of the ball I broke but haven't found it . And I fear it's gone forever as that was two houses ago loll

Buttons buttons I find it amazing that many GPK items have a checklist or set . But what I find more amazing not all non card item have a b version ..

Over the years I picked up a few cards . I really enjoyed these giant cards . I still have faint memories of seeing these at gas stations or other stores that had them in the counters

When collecting a certain card from multiple countries it's very interesting how things can be edited . Obviously the Bukimi Kun have the giant black bars across the images but smaller less talked or seen differences are out there Look at the grave stone And now look at this Art from many other countries
