Here's a video I made back in 2020 going over my collection. Hoping to make an updated video soon.

Responding to the thread title here. The answer seems to be “apparently not”. I hope to get those collectors on board though. I’d love to see a solid discussion of these products. It would be so damn interesting.

Yeah I was gonna say.. I don't think we have any GPK collectors here. :D

Hopefully in time though.

I don't so much collect them, but I do still have mine and my sister's combined childhood collection in a binder that I like flipping through from time to time.

I have bought a handful (5 at most) of boxes of Chrome over the years. But I just prefer enjoying the childhood collection vs chasing additions.

Also. I think the chrome refractors are overpriced.

Yeah some of the individual Chrome refactors can get a bit pricey, I agree. I have seen them drop in the past 6 months to a year though. I think overall Chrome box prices (at least during initial release) are decently priced. Certainly nothing like sports cards. GPK Chrome has been pretty much the only hobby product i've picked up in like the past 3 years now.

I love those early GPK cards! I remember buying them as a kid and have bought a few of those first ones over the years! I did like what some of the Topps 2020 artist did with combining some of the elements of GPK with todays stars!

Yeah the Topps artist cards were awesome! I ended up grabbing this one from Project70.

Have a small side PC of GPK (or "The Garbage Gang" as they were called in my neck of the woods).

Tried to recreate my childhood collection, but cards like Nasty Nick or Adam Bomb are a bit expensive. So, I bought a few boxes of the recent Chrome and Paper releases which were a lot of fun e.g. chasing the "c" cards.

Would also like to get that Michael Jordan "Mad Michael" GPK one day...
