Dressed to Grotesque

Dressed to Grotesque is a 2024 online Garbage Pail Kids release that is a packed-out set, not one of the shorter six-week drops, and it leans into the original series kids dressed for school with a newer fashion twist.

Topps sold it only through Topps.com, in five-pack boxes priced at $99.99, with each pack holding eight cards, seven base cards and one hit. Each box was built to deliver a sketch card, and the set stayed up until it sold through.

The base set runs to 60 cards, made up of 30 characters in A and B versions, with artwork spread across nine final artists. Joe Simko, Brent Engstrom and Joe McWilliams were back, while Neil Camera, Chris Meeks and Simone Arena also contributed, and Mike Stephens and Dave Dabila made their GPK final-art debuts here.

Collectors had a fair bit to chase. Hit cards include Slim Green Foil /25, Hex Fractor 1/1, C Name cards, Celebrity Wrapper cards, Character Variations, relics and sketch cards, with relics at 1:4 boxes and character variations at 1:16 boxes. Topps also said every box would include one celebrity wrapper, one foil or relic card, and either two C Name cards or one C Name and one variation card.
