Near
the beginning of the new year, starting in early February 2024, the Topps company began another year-long installment of their exclusive online brand of Garbage Pail Kids cards and product as specialized and limited items, under the tutelage of the Fanatics group. This marks their ninth consecutive year offering a slew of unique online material to the masses, in between their larger retail releases, that tends to cater to a much smaller niche of hardcore collectors. The online and digital releases are overseen by the Topps brand manager (of entertainment ecommerce), Francis Miceli. |

x GPK Online Side Note: 2024 Topps MLB Dynamic Duals Set w/ GPK Card
Per GPK News, on June 25, 2024, “Topps has added the iconic Garbage |

10.
Topps released their inaugural Dressed To Grotesque (2024) online set, sold while supplies lasted, on August 28, 2024, that cost $99.99 per 5-pack, 40-card mini box. The set is a parody of the Met Gala—that took place on May 6, 2024, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art—and composed of tribute artwork of early Original Series characters and celebrities that have worn eye-brow raising ensembles at previous events. Artists submitted concepts to Topps in late April and final artwork was presented in late May for the set. The title is poking fun at the popular idiom, ‘Dressed to Impress’, which usually means to choose clothing to make a positive impression on others, dressing for success, but in the fashion world, it’s more akin to choosing prêt-à-porter attire and making a shocking impact on others. Within their page write-up section, the Topps Shop stated, “Sweat Set 60 subjects • Base Parallels (60 Subjects) • Slim(e) Green Foil /25 • Hex Fractor 1/1 • Inserts: C Names (30 Subjects) • Celebrity Wrappers (5 Subjects) 1:1 • Character Variations (5 Subjects) 1:16 Boxes or 1:80 Packs • Relics (5 subjects) 1:4 Boxes or 1:20 Packs • Sketch Cards 1:1“. In their Overview section, mentioned, “Each Box contains (5) Packs and (8) Cards Per Pack. Each Pack contains (7) 2.5″x3.5″ Base Cards and (1) Chase Card Per Pack. Per Box: (1) Sketch Card • (1) Celebrity Wrappers • (1) 1 Numbered Foil parallel or (1) Relic • (2) C Names or (1) C Name and (1) Variation“. The Description section listed the sketch artists (seen further below), a link to the set checklist and the disclaimer, “All sales are final. Art subject to change. Not responsible for typographical/printer errors.” And, within their Specs section stated, “More Information; SKU: F24GPKDG01 • Product Information: Each Box contains (5) Packs and (8) Cards Per Pack. Each Pack contains (7) 2.5″x3.5″ Base Cards and (1) Chase Card Per Pack. Available while supplies last! • Product Type: Online Exclusive Box • Property: Garbage Pail Kids • Year: 2024“. The release SOLD OUT in roughly 52mins, less than an hour. ![]() AUGUST 26, 2024 FACEBOOK POST W/ AD IMAGE + TOPPS BLAST EMAIL AD; NO WEBSITE BANNER IMAGE On August 26, 2024, Topps took to their Facebook social-media channel

12, 13—17. On September 24, 2024, artist DAVID Gross took to Facebook to pre-announce the annual online horror sets with a ‘blood’ dripping sign image that read, “oct 3” (red) “is horror-ible” (black) and later added “6 weeks of terror awaits” (black). Topps took to Facebook on October 01, 2024, to announce their new, six-week release, stating, “SPOOKY SEASON IS COMING. GPK OH THE HORRIBLE. WAVE 1. 10/3”, with artwork by BRENT Engstrom, and also had the advertisement sheet image added to their blast email on that same day (and consecutive days after), where the body of the email read, “Coming Soon… 2024 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Oh The Horrible” and “Topps and Garbage Pail Kids Oh the Horrible themed 10-card sets: Oh the horrible! Just in time for Halloween, Garbage Pail Kids return in truly horrifying style. Collect all five exclusive horror movie themed characters. Look For: • 11 Cards Per Pack • (10) Base Cards • (1) Black and White Wrapper or Gold Foil Wrapper /25 Per Set” Historically speaking, the retail sets have always been titled ‘Oh, the Horror-ible!’, but for some reason didn’t translate over to the online releases. Online Description: 2024 Topps Garbage Pail Kids: Oh the Horrible. Topps
INCORRECT ON AD & SITE BUTTON On October 03, 2024, Topps sent out a second email blast with an updated Per Pack • (10) Base Cards • (1) Black and White Wrapper or Gold Foil Wrapper /25 Per Set.” This same advert and message would appear in the next day’s email blast as well on October 04, 2024. The subsequent releases would have the same message, only the wave number changing.
On October 09, 2024, GPK News posted the Oh, the Horror-ible Wave 2

Topps released their annual Garbage Pail Kids: Rock and Roll Hall of Lame set online three weeks earlier, compared to last year. The set sold for one week only, from October 16 to October 23, and cost $19.99 per eleven-card set or +$160 for 10 sets ($179.99). The artwork was created by the four main GPK artists: Engstrom, Simko, Gross and McWilliams + NEIL Camera. NOTE: In the past, the set was also called the ‘Rock & Roll Hall of Shame’. NOTE: Per SKUs, starting with the 2023 OTH releases, instead of being printed on sticker (-STIC-) stock, as previous SKUs showcased, the cards are now printed on two-sided 24pt cardstock, as indicated by the updated SKU section (-24C2S).
Within their set ‘Description’ section, the Topps Shop stated: “ 2024Topps Garbage Pail Kids: Rock N Roll Hall of Lame. This year, the Garbage Pail Kids are inducting some of their favorite artists into the Rock and Roll Hall of Lame.

18—27.
Rather than their annual ‘[Calendar Year] Was the Worst’ online collective set, that ran from 2019 through 2023, Topps changed up the title and started releasing their 2024 Media Menace exclusive GPK singles online over a five-day period, collectively as a set, starting on December 9 and ending on December 13, 2024, with last-day sales ending on December 15. The singles, released two cards per day, sold for five days only, for 48hrs each, and cost $9.99 per single; so instead of the usual eleven-card set for $19.99—which included five subjects with A+B twin cards & a parallel card—this set would cost over $100, containing eleven subjects with no twin card & a chance at a parallel card. Bulk sales were an option: 5 cards for $29.99 or 10 cards for $49.99. On December 5, 2024, Topps included the upcoming release within their some of this year’s wackiest moments with your favorite Garbage Pail Kids characters! Look for two new characters a day for one week, spoofing some of this year’s most memorable moments. The first two cards will be available Monday, December 9th! Each card will be on sale for 48 hours.“ On December 9, 2024, GPK News posted the new release advert mid-day, but it was also included in a blast email sent out (around 7:45pm CT) later that day, which contained the subject title ‘2024 Topps GPK Media Menace is live!’, and the same information as the first email, but read “AVAILABLE NOW” replacing “STARTING MONDAY 12.9“.
The Topps online shop began dropping the two cards, per day, starting Gross took to social media the same day and stated, “Garbage Pail Kids Media Menace card I painted for the new online set at Topps.com. Only available for 48 hours! Based on the Topos Now Triple Auto Cards.” & “Based on the figural popcorn movie buckets of the past year.”
On August 10, 2024, Topps posted to social media, “BREAKING: Someone Lebron & Curry auto on the same card • Steph/KD/LeBron triple. And to top it off, all three autographs are on-card. This truly historic card will find a new home soon… will you be buying any of the Topps Now base cards to have a chance at this piece of history?” The Topps Now card dropped the same day, “Men’s Basketball – 2024 Olympic Games TOPPS NOW® Card 26 – LOOK FOR 1/1 AUTO! – PR: 588,030 — $11.99”, and contained the following write-up, “Capturing all the excitement of the 2024 Olympic Games – Topps NOW brings the biggest moments directly to your collection! In celebration of an incredible gold medal performance – look for one ultra-rare redemption for a triple on-card autograph numbered 1/1 featuring the signatures of LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant!”
On December 10, 2024, Topps posted the next installment of card singles, *
On December 11, 2024, Topps posted the next two media cards ,with the forename being spelled differently on mock-up card for one character (‘CHARLIE’), but spelled correctly for the page title, “2024 Topps Garbage Pail Kids: Media Menace Snotty CHARLI”; performer Charli XCX and her ‘brat’ green album cover, and the “snot” neon green colour being the newest fad in fashion, and the ‘brat summer’ trend, in general. The second card pays tribute to celebrity look-alikes, most notably when Chalamet was said to look like actress Natalia Dyer (of Stranger Things), but in this case, Chalamet is up against himself. GPK News posted the new card-drop advert mid-day, but Topps did not mail out their daily blast email, so no advertising for the third drop.
