2020 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Mr. and Mrs. Checklist

2020 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Mr. and Mrs. is Topps On-Demand Set #3, a Valentine's Day online exclusive in which ten Series One characters are shown with a male or female counterpart. Topps sold it on topps.com for one week only, from 13 to 20 February 2020, and printed 1,474 sets. Each set came with 26 stickers: the 20-sticker base set, six parallel stickers and a 5x7 poster, plus a 1 in 2 chance at a sketch card.

What's in the checklist

• Base: 20 sticker cards: the 10 A-name characters (1a–10a) and their B-name partners, printed as 11b–20b
• Parallels: Green Hearts, Red Hearts and Black Hearts borders. Each set held three Green, two Red and one Black; none is serial numbered
• Inserts: 10 foldable 5x7 posters of the A-name characters, one per set, with no printed number
• Sketch cards: hand-drawn sketch cards, about 1 in 2 sets, listed by 20 artists

Grading considerations

The B names are numbered 11b–20b, so Corroded Karla is 11b, not 1b. Match the heart border as well as the number, since the base and the three parallels share the same art. The posters are foldable and are not standard-size cards. GPK stickers are prone to off-center cuts and corner dings, so check centering, corners, edges and the sticker surface. See our pricing.

The Topps listing gives the set contents, the sale window and the print run, but not the card names or the parallel colours. Card names, the 11b–20b numbering, the parallel colours and split, the poster subjects and the sketch artist list come from secondary checklists that agree with each other. Topps did not publish a sketch artist list: 19 artists are named by two checklists and Neil Camera by two others, while one more artist named by only one checklist is not listed.
