Does anyone on here own the final or rough for Duncan Pumpkin? If not, if anyone has seen it, does it have the pink swirl above the knife? I know the reason for the Ghost 10 Rex error, and Semi Colin was a printing issue, just like the eyelash errors or blue crosses. However, the pink swirl looks intentional, so I am very curious to see if it was originally drawn that way. Anyone!?

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say NO WAY JOSE. reason being, the card exists without the swirl so i assume that's how the final will look as well(no swirl)

True, although I thought there were some originals that slightly differed from production (like which direction G.P. Kay faced?). So does anyone know the history behind the swirl? It seems too perfectly placed to just be a random printing error.

What was the reason for the ghost 10?

I believe it was a production issue, with the 10 actually being an upside down OF (for "outfield") from a baseball card.
Also, while looking at another thread, I realized there is another card that differed from the original art. Damaged Don originally had guts pouring out, but the card has stuffing. I guess the guts were too offensive.

I don't see how the swirl could or even would be intentional. Some cards you can barely see the swirl. And, what would be the point of a swirl above the knife? To make it look like he was swirling the knife? Just doesn't make any sense.

Here's a pic of the final from the UG Original Art Gallery. No pink swirl on it  |

Mystery solved! Although, I'm still curious why it appears on some cards...

I'll take 'Infamous Pubic Hairs" for $800, Alex.
This pubic hair appeared on a card from the popular Garbage Pail Kids trading cards in the 1980's.
What is the Duncan Pumpkin swirl error card pubic hair?

Makes sense we've seen an eyelash so why not.

To make it look like he was swirling the knife? Just doesn't make any sense. Actually, take a look at Mad Max from OS2. He has a very similar "swirl" coming out of his head. I now have the answer to my question since the original pic was posted, but still interesting to see... |

The Duncan Pumpkin doesn't make sense and is not on every card. |

I understand it's not on every card, and there's a picture of the final, so I now know the swirl wasn't intentional. However, the perfect placement is still odd to me. What's the point of the swirl in Max? It seems very similar to me. |

So if the ghost 10 Repaired Rex error came from a baseball card that had "OF" on it, then possibly the pink swirl came from another card with perfect placement of the swirl? Might not even be pink on the original card, like the Mad Max example above.  |

Does anyone have any idea as to where these swirl cards could possibly show up in? Series 4 has something like 5 different wrapper codes. I think it’s only on the ** cards, but that’s all I have to go on atm.

Was the pink swirl error from 1st printing or 2nd printing?

Just re-visiting this one for the 100th time...this is purely coincidence, but if you turn the card over, there is a similar "swirl" shape on the back art. I kept flipping it over to see if it was a match, but doesn't look like it.

I kept flipping it over to see if it was a match, but doesn't look like it. That is interesting. And I get what you mean by the Pumpkin swirl not making any less sense than the Mad Max one. Even though one was intentional and one wasn't, they both make the same amount of sense (or lack thereof) in the context of the drawings. Why would a swirl be coming out of Max's head? For no more sensical of a reason than a swirl would be coming off the top of Duncan's knife. I would think the swirl shows motion. Maybe the Max swirl is intended to show that his brain was removed from his skull. But then, wouldn't you expect to see the brain at the opposite end of the swirl? Whereas with Duncan, even though the swirl wasn't intentional, it could be seen as resulting from the motion of the knife being moved or twirled. After all, it does appear like Duncan could be cutting out chunks of himself. I know the swirl wasn't intentional, but still, intent aside, one could look at it that way. I don't particularly see the sense in either swirl, but I get what you mean. |

I kept flipping it over to see if it was a match, but doesn't look like it. You know, the back of the card has a guy with fake eyeballs attached to coils on his head. The coils look like an exact match for the swirl on the front (albeit in a different color). However the error came to be, I think the most obvious culprit is the coil. |

Really cool box. I wish they had the Nasty Nick box too though
