2022 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Disgusting Dating Checklist

2022 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Disgusting Dating is the Valentine's Day Garbage Pail Kids sticker set Topps sold only on topps.com, from 10 February to 17 February 2022. Each box set holds 27 stickers: the full 20-sticker base set and a checklist, two Red Heart and one Black Heart parallel, two Dating Profiles and either a numbered foil parallel or a sketch card. Topps gives the final print run as 2,480 box sets.

What's in the checklist

• Base: 20 sticker cards, 10 subjects with A and B names (1a to 10b). The unnumbered checklist sticker that comes with each set is not listed as a row
• Parallels: Red Heart (two per box set), Black Heart (one per box set), Gold Foil /50 and Rainbow Foil /25
• Inserts: Dating Profiles (10), two per box set, each pairing two characters
• Sketch cards: hand-drawn sketch cards replace the foil parallel in some box sets. Topps published no artist list, so none is shown

Key characters

The base set opens with Grim JIM and BETH Death and includes CHARLOTTE Web, FRANK N Stein and Hot Head HARVEY. Several of these characters reappear on the Dating Profiles.

Grading considerations

Every box set contains the full base set, so the base stickers are common; the Black Heart parallels, Gold Foil /50 and Rainbow Foil /25 are scarcer. Check the heart border colour and any serial number against the card, and inspect foil surfaces under angled light for scratches and print lines. GPK stickers are prone to off-center cuts and corner dings.

Topps' listing gives the box contents, the parallels, the sale window and the print run. It does not list the card names, so names and numbers come from secondary checklists that agree with each other. Topps did not publish sketch-card odds or artists for this set.
