2016-17 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Disgrace to the White House Brings the Election to the Home Stretch and Beyond
By Ryan Cracknell | Hobby Editor
The lead-up to the U.S. Presidential election had its share of jokes, memes and gags. And the GPK gang didn’t let up. 2016-17 Topps Garbage Pail Kids disg-Race to the White House is yet another online exclusive, print-on-demand series to make light of the people who were looking to run the world’s most powerful nation.
Switching gears from previous primary and political GPK sets released this year, disg-Race to the White House focuses more on single cards sold on their own at separate times rather than small sets. When multiple cards are available at the same time, bundles are offered, though.
Events of the election were covered, but with an obvious parody spin. For example, within a couple of days of the first debate, the infamous “400 lb. hacker” as mentioned in one of the many soundbites had a card in the GPK Universe. Following that, it took only a short time for the controversy surrounding Donald Trump and former Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, to be immortalized on a card.
The first Garbage Pail Kids disg-Race to the White House card features both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump making waste of a city like in the video game classic Rampage or one of the old Godzilla sequels. The artwork is by long-time Garbage Pail Kids artist Brent Engstrom.
The card costs $9.99 for one, $29.99 for five, $49.99 for ten and $79.99 for 20. Daily lots were also offered with a discount on days where more than one card was offered.
They were sold on the Topps website for 24 hours. Following that, those that were ordered will be produced and print runs announced.
