After seeing the seller's asking price on eBay, I assume these are one per box?

Just checked and you nailed it, they're one per hobby box.  The set also has Gross Bears and Bathroom Buddies.  It looks like GPK is the one non-sports brand to rule them all.  I imagine these will be popular as they're very similar to the altered cards from the Chrome series!

Thanks for the heads up. Acquired a set on the bay. You had me with the reference to the Altered Art cards from chrome.  8)

I'm with you Pat, No GPK's. I don't own 1 GPK card (sept for the GPK wacky) was never a fan of anything GPK. Sorry you GPK lovers, just cant do it. To me all the series is is snot humor.

Mars mash ups on the other hand...

I plan on placing this subset in my Mars Attacks Occupation binder along with the Wacky /MA Mashups. I don't own GPK cards ; but this will be an exception.

Without any changes to the gags, I can't see myself buying any of these, especially at the asking price.  I really enjoyed the Wonky Packages, and the MAO mashups, but those integrated new titles and taglines that seemed to go with the revised Wacky artwork.

Can Neil comment if he has done any other Wacky/ GPK Mashups in the sketches done for this GPK release?

I think of these as more of GPK infiltrating the Wacky Pack Cards. It is funny to see the GPK image on Gadzooka where the boy usually is. More of an Altered Art type of thing. I am a fan of seeing the Iconic WP images changed and this fits the bill. I don't mind if the tag lines are not changed.

Nope, not like the Mars set. But here's a Wacky inspired sketch card to whet your whistle.

Ah, this answers a question I just posted in another thread.  I'd love to add them to my collection but, based on what I've read on this thread, they'll be well beyond my price range.  Too bad.

Does anyone know if the GPK characters on these have specific names?

Yes. "Hippie Skippy", above, was originally released in Series 3

Below is "Fowl Raoul", also from Series 3 (1986) . . .  Oh, those foul mouthed French.
