Title: Wacky subset in new GPK Late to School
Post by: Zenergizer on January 30, 2020, 10:03:56 AM: In case you don't know, there is a 10-card subset in the new GPK Late to School release,
and I believe that Sir Smokin' Joe is the "artiste du jour" with this one.

They look nice, and I've also heard they are tough to get. One per collector's box, if I heard correctly?

Thanks, Joe!

Although I've never heard of that notebook, don't want to spoil things....

Thanks! A nice enough looking set, but for that price, I'll pass.

Actually it's just PeeChee as in the folders that inspired the Trapper Keeper. The name came from Peachy Keen.

Here's an article about the Trapper Keeper that mentions them:

It took a little patience, but I was able to do much better than that $17.50-apiece price by acquiring a set basically one card at a time. Even when shipping charges (if not "free shipping") are factored in. Just have to wait for those lower priced auctions or Buy It Now's to pop up.

Look up about 10 entries in this forum thread and there's a link to an ebay auction that shows all of them.
