My take on this new series...my OS1 PSA collection is coming along nicely... Yeah, I'm not feeling this new series. I liked the horror set - it wasn't GPK, but it was a solid novelty horror set. But this new one, I just don't like it. First of all, it's a 90s nostalgia set. I don't have a lot of nostalgia for the 90s, so the set isn't reaching me much on an emotional level. Also, I guess I'm getting tired of these releases being references to existing pop-culture. Like, every card is just a spoof of something else. A Terminator GPK. A Ren & Stimpy GPK. A Roseanne Barr GPK. What happened to GPKs that weren't based on anything? Like, just a kid puking from his nose, or a kid who is a potted plant, or a kid who has zippers all over her body or whatever? I want to go back to that kind of format. But I will give shout outs to a few cards in the new set that I like - Layron's "Doug Life" (as I've previously mentioned), Layron's piece with Adam Bomb having a computer for a head (not sure of the card name), and the "Lunch Abel" piece (not sure who the artist is).

To be fair, all of them were parodies of CPK until OS9. I don’t mind pop culture parodies as long as they are good. The vast majority of everything just isn’t good, starting with the 30th anniversary set.

Is there a list anywhere of which artists did the cards for the Nineties set? I’m curious who did the Nineties Com-Mick/Extreme Lee art. Anyone know?

Okay, so, can Topps seriously not look up a dang Wikipedia article to determine which decade things are from? These are 80s and 00s Madballs - how could it possibly be less 90s?

YES! -and besides Madballs is wildly rememered as an 80’s thing. They still make them, but they are still an 80’s thing.

So what is up with Im just painting over old GPK in this set? She literally still can't paint a good looking GPK even after stealing a piece of Pound art. I'm talking about the Forrest Gump kid being identical to Tagged Tad from OS5. She is just a terrible artist and that is almost an objective statement. Check out this gif Mark posted on FB

She hasn't improved in SIX YEARS, but then they keep paying her, so what's the incentive to? In fact, I'd argue she's gotten worse. Compare this to Sushi SETH from BNS1 in 2012.

Has anyone found the classic 90s reprint set yet I cant find any on Ebay and I can't buy any packs in stores since I live in the UK. I have found some sold with the main set from 9046Clint but its about $80 including shipping to the UK in previous releases he sold them seperatly I would like to find a set sold on its own for a bit cheaper

That one sucked to begin with, now we have two shitty cards. I guess you have to give her a bonus point for flipping the images for the cannon one.

Why can't topps just give us one...JUST ONE, set that's not this crap? I'm sorry, I don't mean to trash all of the actually good\legit art that is in this set. Or for that fact, to be rude to any artist or their respective work on this set. But...BRUH! The pop-culture spoof only policy for topps on these sets seems to be on a molecular...no, scratch that sub-atomic level.😕

Was there a Cabbage Patch Kids spoof in the We Hate The 80s set? I believe David Gross made a great one but it was nixed. Art for it is at gpkworld under the we hate the 80's section.
