UPDATE: Topps announces Super Tuesday Edition of their presidential line (available now at their website):
Each Candidate is again featured in two variants ($9.99) or the full set of 10 cards ($29.99)
New line up:
- 1a) Distressed Donald
- 1b) Terrified Trump
- 2a) Tabby Ted
- 2b) Kitty Cruz
- 3a) Mecha Marco
- 3b) Robotic Rubio
- 4a) Hand Puppet Hillary
- 4b) Crony Clinton
- 5a) Basket Bernie
- 5b) Slam Dunk Sanders
With Super Tuesday upon us this election year, it seems fitting that Topps has released a (more accurate?) variant of their Garbage Pail Kids trading cards to “honor” the candidates running for President. The collection of 18 cards was only offered for a limited time (through February 10th 2016*), maybe because the herd of contenders would start to thin soon thereafter?
Billed as the New Hampshire Primary edition, the series features two variants of the nine candidates parodied.
Listed in the set:
Donald Trump
1a DONALD DUMPTY
1b HUMPTY TRUMPTY
Donald Trump
1a DONALD DUMPTY
1b HUMPTY TRUMPTY

3a MISSPENT MARCO
3b REPO’ED RUBIO
