Man I had so much beef with this piece back in the day, not a fan at all. Shipping of $100 is a bit much. |

On the ToppsVault COA, Is 'original production photo' the same as final art?

I know it doesn't look like a GPK, it really isn't a Garbage Pail Kid at all, but as a piece of art on its own, separate from GPK, I like it. I like the colors, I like the fantasy aspect of it, with the rabbit floating down using an umbrella. It's a spoof on a famous children's show, and it has an almost fairy-tale aspect to it. And it's also dark too, because that train is going over the cliff and everyone on board is going to die. But yeah, $100 for shipping is a bit much. Unless it's being shipped in carbonite. |

You answered your own question. It doesn’t look like a GPK  |

They shouldn't use the GPK banner, but they do because that is how they make their money, selling off the fame and goodwill of the original run. |

Not sure if I should bid on it. I got so much disposable income at the moment I could do the buy it now but nah am not that crazy as I already have an ANS 6 final art. Nice piece though.

If you change your mind, make sure to email the seller and make sure it is really artwork and not a print. I don’t remember Topps Vault selling any final art after ANS3, so I’m not sure what this is. |

The thing sold for $860 plus $100 shipping. For an autographed print. Disgusting.

Flushing money down the toilet seems to be a competition for a lot of people. 8D But I have a feeling the buyer thought this was original art. The seller represented it as "artwork" in the listing. $960 on the original art for this piece is not that egregious. |

The buyer should have paid closer attention to the listing, and noticed the certificate of authenticity. You shouldn't drop a thousand dollars without being careful. But the seller misrepresented what he was selling, and seemingly ignored the people who pointed it out to him. The buyer is a fool but the seller is a crook. |
