On the heels of a re-release of the politicians cards in this year’s Garbage Pail Kids set for the Iowa Primary, Topps has created a set of new GPK cards only available for a limited time coinciding with the New Hampshire Primary.
Why? People love their politicians — or ripping on them.
A new batch of nine pairs of card-size stickers, as well as a full set, are initially available for 24 hours only via Topps.com. Who’s in it? Keep reading …
The standard-sized set of all candidates is $49.99, while pairs of individual stickers for each person are $9.99 if purchased separately.
The candidates being subjected to the GPK world are Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, John Kasich, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
Here’s a rundown of the checklist …

It was in the ballpark of 1,000 to 1,200 on each. Trump was highest but not by much.
