Mr. & Mrs.
The set was offered from February 13 to February 20, 2020, for $40. Each purchase got the 20 card base set, built from 10 new paintings in A and B versions, plus three green heart parallels, two red heart parallels, one black heart parallel, and one 5x7 poster. Collectors also had a 1 in 2 chance at a sketch card.
The base cards came from Joe McWilliams, David Gross, Neil Camera, Brent Engstrom and Joe Simko, with each artist contributing two paintings.
Topps later revealed a total print run of 1,474 copies, with 221 green borders, 147 red borders and 73 black borders, while the 5x7 posters were also produced at 147 copies. The set did not sell out, but it still set a record as Topps’ highest selling On Demand Garbage Pail Kids set and its highest selling non-political online GPK release. Topps did not release the sketch artist list, and GPKNews was able to track 714 sketches, with some artists still unaccounted for given the total sales.
