If you’re online, it seems like everyday has some sort of “National _______ Day.” For some, it’s an excuse to have a little fun. Others might be more cynical about what their purpose is. Well, trading cards is apparently one of them, even if it’s after the fact and done with a satirical spin. 2020 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Bizarre Holidays is an on-going online series that highlight some of these weird “Days” like only the GPK gang could.

Weekly sets of ten cards (five pairs of A/B name variations) highlight different events as they unfold over the calendar year. Available for seven days on the Topps website, each mini set costs $19.99 (or $179.99 for a lot of ten). For a month, numbers continue to build on each other week to week. That means a set for April, a new one for May, etc.

Also, starting in May, parallels were added with one per weekly set ordered. These are in addition to the ten regular cards.

This is another in a growing list of print-on-demand Garbage Pail Kids sets offered directly from Topps.
