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 ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-04/0ABC457A-4DB3-41C0-B2F7-FEDE955AE9ED.jpg) 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 ![???](//storage.proboards.com/667342/images/kFukLlfHDDItlwceePLz.gif) ?. 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 ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/Mobile%20Uploads/C79CCA8D-BBEC-4102-A0F8-F9E5131E34EA.jpg)

Of course Cheap Toys has been fun to buy trade and sell . ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/cheaptoys/cheaptoyariel2.jpg) 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 ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/cheaptoys/bluebraimeys.jpg) These old neon yellows also found new homes ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/cheaptoys/cheappics031.jpg) Man I love these things We would discuss what the heck the colors should be called ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/greenecamples2.jpg) Come on in take the plunge ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/webpileofct.jpg) And looking for variants ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/alicehead.jpg) 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 ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/Picture021-2.jpg) ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-04/3B07957E-3734-45DC-A07A-85E6836FCBAA.jpg)

What's a collection without an uncut sheet ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/popupsnewer091.jpg) 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 .

Balloons I tell ya!! ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/milarcomp.jpg) On a side note it has been noted dollar bill from series 2 has the only stacked name bar but looks like this double heather ballon has a double stacked name bar as well as the split kit n live mike .

The Imperial blue packaged toys ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-04/D248971C-C02B-4E09-A8B2-6F60590EB698.jpg) And the backs . Interesting the back of the pop ups and the directions on the tacky snappers ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/Mobile%20Uploads/E56CAD78-67F7-4E49-9427-F346F10571F3.jpg) ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-04/062F46DE-E392-4040-94CA-C9679C25E6D4.jpg) 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 ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-04/CA8BBFDF-D5E7-4FD8-A511-0DB6A8650689.jpg) 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 ? ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/rings.jpg) ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/Picture035-2.jpg) 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 , ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-04/D991151D-2D04-4FF6-8EDA-DED18B846757.jpg) 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

What happened to the other 5 from each series ?? Packaging decision ? Do I have a partial set ?? Interesting

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 ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/Mobile%20Uploads/FE1A9CD1-F0A8-446B-84E6-269E2FADB3C2_1.jpg)

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 ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-04/4E4E91F5-E5F3-4880-AD98-D7F873078FBE.jpg) And now look at this Art from many other countries ![](http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n178/gpkware/Mobile%20Uploads/C6A72AA7-514C-4A9B-9565-A1A885FC4F4C.jpg)
