Empty-V Awards
Topps launched the Garbage Pail Kids Empty-V Awards online set in late August 2017 to parody an MTV music awards show. The release was available exclusively on the Topps website for a limited time. It poked fun at Kendrick Lamar, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, and the MTV Awards in general.
The ordering structure gave buyers a choice between grabbing individual pieces or committing to the complete run during an open sale window that lasted for seven days, beginning on August 24, 2017. Collectors could pick up a single character pairing in its standard two-card format for $9.99, but taking home all twelve stickers at once cost $29.99.
The 12-card set features six new Garbage Pail Kids characters available in a and b versions. Brent Engst provided the art for the opening subject, which paired Uncaring Kendrick as card 1a with Lackadaisical Lamar as 1b. A total of 92 complete sets were sold.
