There is a very lengthy, and longwinded, case study on this character’s
set of Eyebrows within the OS7
page, within the GPK History section. Minus the 2024 Abram’s GPK calendar
printed image, and the 2011 Flashback Series 2 WATN? card back for cards
78a & 78b, the GPK Chrome 7 set is the first card front release
for the vanishing eyebrows for cards 251a—251c. The character image
is also found on the puzzle preview cards (#258 + #281) and the alarming
puzzle piece (#261), where the set of eyebrows are in high-def. If time
permits, check the OS7 section out to find out the whole scoop on what
happened to Pound’s piece, and the missing eyebrow friskets.

The release contains two different yellow Checklist
Cards, both with a light-blue header; the base-card checklist
290a—290c for cards 251a—292b & AN-1a—AN-8b, and
the Art by Rory chase checklist R-290a for cards R-251a—R-292a.
The original series 7 completed puzzle preview card and border puzzle
pieces all had a blue border, instead of yellow, as with this new release;
the 9-card puzzle for the Khrome Krashers subset has a blue border.

Question: Why was Superfractor SEAN [Doroudian]
picked for the CC-SS short print ‘GPK Collector Card’?
Per Rethinking65.com article One
Company Set to Upend the Sports Collectible World by Jordyn Holman
& Ken Belson on January 29, 2024. “Two years ago, Fanatics
reached a deal to become the exclusive trading card partner of MLB and
the baseball players union. It then bought Topps, the iconic trading
card-maker, for roughly $500 million, becoming a kingpin in an industry
worth an estimated $44 billion, according to Verified Market Research.
Live breaking is also among the ways Rubin hopes to transform what he
sees as a staid industry.” + “Last summer, he unveiled Fanatics
Live, an online platform to compete with live breaking on YouTube, Facebook,
Whatnot and others. Unlike those on other sites, breakers on Fanatics
Live get boxes of cards directly from Fanatics.” + “At the
shows, Fanatics executives have also become familiar to avid collectors
such as Sean Doroudian, founder and former CEO of a financial services
company who has spent more than $1 million on trading cards in the past
few years.” Answer: That’s why. Annoying.

The infamous Fruit Slots, aka ‘one-armed
bandits’ or ‘AWPs’ (amusement with prizes), are a type of slot machine
that utilize the classic casino slot symbols such as cherries, apples,
lemons, 7’s, BARs, bells, etcetera, and were invented in the UK in the
1960s as an offshoot of slot machines as a loophole in the British Betting
and Gaming Act. slot machines For those out there familiar with fruit
emojis and their possible innuendoes, the ‘slut machine’ artwork by
JOE Simko, after Pound, for WATN? card W-256a JACK Pot, can be seen
with a winning pay-LOAD of a peach (butt), eggplant/aubergine (phallic
penis), and water ‘squirt’, that has caused the dirty-minded slot machine
to happily vomit in a pleasureable way. Even with inflation over 40
years, it’s good to see the machine still only costs 25¢ a play!

Per Facebook post by artist DAVID Gross, on February 19, 2025, announcing
his ‘Garbage Pail Kids Chrome 7 FINAL PAINTINGS for sale!’, notating,
‘NOTE: Katy Perry was in the set but was pulled before printing.”;
the Garbage Music Awards subset. The image,
of course, looks very familiar… on March 10, 2024, Gross had posted
the image to his social media channels stating, “Unused Katy Perry
Garbage Pail Kids card pulled from a set that I’ll have available
(sans logos) at Gross Card Con in Las Vegas March 16/17.”, along
with a pulled Michael Jackson final; the prints were sold under his
GROSS Rejected label as DG1 & DG2 at the show, respectively. Artwork
for the GPK Chrome 7 set was completed by the end of February 2024;
more information on the Katy Perry & Michael Jackson pieces can
be located within the Con & Fests page. Topps has not released a
GPK Shammys (Grammys) online set since 2021, due to some BTS backlash.

Per Facebook post by artist Smokin’ JOE McWilliams, on February 19,
2025, on Saturday, February 22, 2025, showcasing a second piece of Unpublished
Artwork that did not make it into the music subset, stating,
“Garbage Kids CHROME series 7 is out and collectors are tearing
open packs! Here’s one I painted for the ‘American Garbage Music Awards’
subset… but ultimately [it] was rejected and not used in the set (I
believe). The story goes… in 1996, Garth Brooks won the Favorite artist
of the year award, but refused to accept it… and left it sitting on
the podium. And then TLC went up on stage and said ‘If he doesn’t want
it, we’ll take it!’, and walked off stage with it.”

Additionally, a skateboarding kid, painted by artist BRENT Engstrom,
with the character using his tongue as the physical skateboard, somehow
didn’t make it into the Contest of Losers subset. Not shown; this final
artwork will hopefully make it into a future release. Engstrom has been
working on GPK for over twenties years now, so it’s only natural to
see some of the artists paying tribute to their own artwork and concepts.
If the character image for cards 6a Leaky LINDSAY & 6b Surfing SOPHIE,
from the Contests of Garbage subset, looks familiar, a similar Artwork
Concept was used within the 2013 BNS2 set for cards 58a Surf’s
Up CHUCK & 58b Regurgi TATE, but with vomit instead of snot.

**

—
Considering set content is always changing and/or progressing over time,
and since the set has been mega-sized to fill the void of the regular
retail & hobby release, the new chrome set contains a few new chase
items to seduce collectors into buying more packs and boxes. One such
item, that really sticks out for the new release, is the base Card
Negative.

*

—
For the Contests of Losers subset, previously
with the pending title ‘Olympicks’, artist JOE Simko had submitted the
nomenclature, 1a CAMMIE Commode & 1b TARA Toilet, but it was changed
to 1a FALLON A. Toilet & 1b Lavatory LOLA. The forename ‘Fallon’
suggests the action words ‘Falling in’. Additionally, artist Smokin’
JOE McWilliams had submitted the name ‘BERTHA Butt Burp’, but it was
replaced with the simpler 4a Windy CINDY nomenclature. For the A
Garbage Music Awards subset, Simko had suggested the name ‘Swooping
SWIFT’ for card #8, but ‘ALISON Awards’ was created, and ‘Murderous
MABEL’ for card #9, but ‘Gory GOMEZ’ was used. The name ‘Bye Bye BRIAN’
was submitted for card 14b & ‘Recall RIHANNA’ for card 21b. Simko
has ‘American Garbage Music Awards’ written on several award statues;
the name was apparently shortened. Additionally, artist Smokin’ JOE
McWilliams had submitted the name ‘Erpring EDGE’, but it was replaced
with the ‘Hurl Over The EDGE’ nomenclature.

—
As seen and outlined by current sketch-card regulations, Topps has given
a wide berth to certain topics and subject matter—due to thin-skinned
society and sensitivity issues these days—so four OS7 Reverse
Card Backs, by veteran GPK artist TOM Bunk, were replaced by
four new card backs, by artist BRENT Engstrom. Bunk’s original ‘File
Cards’ for cards #263 Large MARGE (body index), #267 Vile KYLE (body
index + child harm), #282 LUKE Warm (child harm) & #291 Dead FRED
(weapon + mass shootings) were replaced with new character profiles
by Engstrom, with GPK characters DIDI T., DALE Snail, FRANK N. Stein
& ALI Gator, respectively.

CONT’D: New GPK character profiles were
also created for the all-new artwork reverse card backs, for AN-1 through
AN-8 cards, and ‘File Cards’ for GPK characters Muscular MOLLY, Creepy
CAROL, Mushy MARSHA, Pegleg PETE (should be ‘PETER’), NAT Nerd, Unzipped
ZACH, Wrappin’ RUTH & Lizard LIZ, respectively. The ‘File Card’
GPK character profiles for Swollen SUE ELLEN and Cracked JACK may have
been created as extra, replacement reverse card backs, but unused.

I have misspelled ‘RUSS Pus’ as ‘RUSS Puss’ so many times on this website,
and it seems I’m not alone… but I’m really shocked that Topps spelled
it correctly. Both mock-ups submitted by artists Smokin’ JOE McWilliams
and RORY McQueen have the misspelling of ‘RUSS Puss’. Artist McQueen
took to social media on February 15, 2025, to post his character mock-up
and mentioned, “Garbage Pail Kids Chrome 7! Russ Puss filling up
a bowl. Lovely!”, and artist McWilliams took to social media on
March 18, 2025, to share his mock-up image for the character and said,
“Garbage Pail Kids CHROME series 7 has been out for a few weeks
and collectors are still Pumped Up!! From the ‘Where Are They Now?’
subset… RUSS Puss. I Gave him the Acne AMY clean up where all the
pimple popping paid off… buff, tattooed and handsome… ‘Ladies, How
you doin’?'”

Per Facebook, artist DAVE Gross
took to social media to announce the official Topps GPK promo cards
he’ll have at the show, including a potential triplet (P-1a through
P-1c.), stating, “Per FB, “Here’s the Garbage Pail Kids promo
card (A, B… and C??, hmmm…) I’ll have at the Philly Non-Sports Card
Show on April 5th & 6th. I will have them available after the show
as well, depending on the amount left. This particular card was intended
for Chrome 7 for the Base set but was left out by accident when another
artist did an additional card. So the final (non-Chrome) version of
it still lives on!” More information on exclusive PNS promo cards
can be found on the Cons & Fests
2 page.

Per Odds sheet for the Chrome Sapphire online release, the ‘Remember
the Name’ short-print subset was tentatively called ‘GPK Faux Sigs’,
or perhaps a placeholder name. The ‘Art of Rory’ was referred to as
‘Rory McQueen Image Variation Art’, The ‘A Garbage Music Awards’ was
shortened to the ‘AGMA’ acronym, and the ‘Superfractor Sean’ card was
simply called the ‘GPK Collector Card’, seen on the card backside. The
variation information for this Collector Card was missing from the original
Chrome Odds Sheet, but appeared on the
sapphire sheet, without odd ratios.

—
Although the OS7 Sapphire Chrome set is a separate online release, it’s
still the same exact material as the Chrome OS7 hobby/retail release,
and was produced at the same time, having sequential Product
Code Numbers. One reason the OS7 Sapphire Chrome can be seen
listed within the Topps.com online ‘Odds’ chart.

Similar to the ‘Artistic Interpretation’ subset from
the 30th Anniversary release in 2015, a decade ago, with a majority
of the images taken from the IDW GPK Comic releases, Topps had artist
RORY McQueen create an interpretive subset for the new Chrome release
for the OS7 characters. McQueen is one-half of the Get-A-Grip Skateboards
company, a steady GPK license holder since 2021. Unlike most GPK card
images, this is digital artwork, seldom seen with the GPK community—except
for a notable piece from ANS7 and several GPK Spews online pieces—where
the aesthetic works well and is very appealing within the skate-or-die
society.

The image for card character R-278a Have
a Nice DAVD can also be seen located on the 12″ Vinyl Record Slipmat
released for 72hours within a Ravers T-Shirt package from midday on
April 12 through midday on April 15, 2025.

Due to the previously pending Chrome 7 and ditched 2024S2 retail/hobby
set, the now combined Chrome OS7 mega set release is the first chrome
release containing sketch cards, and the twenty-seventh major Garbage
Pail Kids set to include sketch cards (some numbering 1/1—one-of-a-kind)
found within hobby boxes only. The last major release, Kids at Play,
had sixty-eight sketch artists involved, and this first-time chrome
release has a staggering ninety-five sketch cartists within its ranks,
with eighteen rookies. The Topps Company has rolled out a new sketch-card
format for the release, adopting a universal blank card for all hobby/retail
release going forward, so considering no longer theme-specific, there
won’t be a way of associating what release the sketch card came from.
This new, four-card tiered system has done away with the panoramic sketches,
triptych, loaded puzzles, etcetera, from the line-up, and will focus
more on artwork quality assurance and control.

“Official Topps Garbage Pail
Kids: Chrome 7 (C7) drops today! A lot of new, fun sub-series to collect
with this release, including…Sketch cards!! Topps/Fanatics has
made changes to it’s sketch card program. They will no longer be
offering loaded (4-card puzzle), triptych or pano sketch cards. They
have replaced that with a tiered system of green, silver, gold and black
trading card shaped (2.5×3.5) sketch cards. Green being the most common,
and Black being the rarest! This new tiered system has divided both
artists and collectors on whether or not it creates an improvement over
the old system. Like it, or lump it, let Topps hear how you feel about
it! Here is my contribution(s). I hope that you enjoy ‘em and thank
y’all for your support!”
