My grandfather has been pretty sick recently and it's made me think about the times we've spent together. For some reason one thing that really sticks out in my mind is him driving me to every 7-11 in Newport News, Virginia hunting down packs of Garbage Pail Kids. I was a weird little dude who liked nothing more than professional wrestling and horror movies, so these were right up my alley. It took us 3 or 4 stops and countless miles before we found a place that wasn't sold out of them. I barely got the packs to the car before ripping them all open and laughing hysterically at the weird images that each card contained. It's a silly little moment that right now holds a lot of meaning for me.
Renone wants everyone to be able to relieve those childhood memories with his series of GPK inspired cards. Many different toy artists are involved in this series, including Motorbot, Kris Dulfer, Cash Cannon, and Don Chulo. Preorders are happening right now for this seconds series of cards and even uncut sheets of the entire set.
