Thanks, GPKNews, for fixing the two typos! However, I found another one: Gripe-Nuts.

Very insightful post. Great points. Thanks
regarding the Cheezilla and Fielders -

after opening three boxes of 12 packs, I only pulled one pair of these from a common pack.
seeing as everyone is posting in the trade thread showing that they need these two, so far it's seems they are very tough to pull
So I'll amend my earlier statement
these two aren't Rares
these two are REALLY Rares
likely not Fuggetaboutit Rares, as at least two pair have been found now.
Maybe they are one pair per case of 4 boxes.
As more folks order and open their hauls, I'll update the Master List accordingly

Which does make me wonder if there IS a Fuggetaboutit Rare
Slacker Jack is one of the five puzzles, but so far that title is not on one of the cards, whereas the other four are.
We may never know.

I tried 20 pocket coin first and the type I got had the bottom flap on them, which was micro-annoying, but worked. I just bought a pack of BCW 20-pocket pages which has the same type of pockets as a standard 9-pocket page; opening at the top only, no safety flaps. I like them better. These pockets are 2"x2", so a little big but I'm ok with it.



Thanks!  Those look pretty good.  I know there won't be a perfect page, and I'm partial to Ultra Pro (I guess for consistency's sake as that's what I have for everything else), but these look like they would do the trick well enough.

Those are the pages I am using.

I agree that those two are Super Rares. They come out of a regular pack, not a mystery pack AND they have Rare backs yet are not from the 2021 On-Line only sets. I pulled none from 24 packs. My friend pulled two of each from 24 packs. Jeff from GPK news pulled 1 of each from around 30 packs.  So when you pull those two titles; happy dance is in order.  This also means very few complete sets will be resold.

I opened 6 boxes, 72 clamshells, and pulled two Fielder's and two Cheezillas.  I did not pull a Cheapios, Gripe-Nut or a Jerkson's.

That's really interesting.  Out of just 12 clamshells, I got no Fielder's or Cheezillas, but two each of Cheapios, Gripe-Nuts, or Jerkson's.  What strange distribution!  But maybe pretty typical of SI.

I just received a case of these today (3 boxes, each box containing 12 clam shells, each clam shell containing 3 packs). Below is a screen grab of my spreadsheet showing the results of box #1:
The column labeled TOP indicates the backround color of the top/front artwork (red or yellow).  I thought there may be some correlation, so recorded it.
There may possibly be one. Hope this isn’t too convoluted to follow. There can be 4 different combinations of the GPK/WP wrapper colors in the clamshell. My box had three of each of these color combos. For each color combo, I had two clamshells with one color top art and one with the other color top art. Whatever clamshell had only one of the top art colors, that one contained a WP mystery pack. The rest were GPK. So my first box was GPK-centric.  :]. Could be pure chance. Will probably open another box tomorrow.

How long did this take you??  I spent close to 6 hours opening my case of 3 boxes, and only managed to sort the Wackys.  Maybe I will do the GPK's today, maybe I will give myself a break.  All three boxes were 4 read headers and 8 yellow headers, so 2/3 of the Mystery packs were Wackys.  Only one damaged sticker!  I completed one set, with extras.  No way I will complete a GPK set with less packs and more stickers!!

When the image gallery is eventually loaded on the Master List thread, it will be nice to see these up close!

Wonder if there is any slightly altered artwork (a la Commie Cleanser).

I’ll add some pics tonight and everyone can check them out.

It’ll be easier to look for variations from scans than by eye, as these things really are Micro!
I needed to use extra magnification to verify the card number on one of the GPK, which is black on a dark purple background.

It took about 2 hours to open one box and record in the spreadsheet. Will do another box tonight. I haven't even sorted them out yet, and like you, I haven't opened the GPK ones yet. I wish they made a pull strip or something on these clam shells so you aren't risking de-fingering while opening the durn things.  :P

I realized this morning when I sorted the GPKs that I spent a LOT of time wrestling with the plastic clamshells.  I used scissors across the clamshell above the packs of stickers, then cut down on one side of them.  Pulled them apart, and popped out the packs.  Scotch titanium scissors saved my knuckles!

Here are the results for my 2nd box from the case. Still need Bald-Aid, Macaroni for Geese, Subpar-os, Cheezilla, and Fielders.

doesn't look like any individual box has a good distribution, and are always heavy on two or three of the puzzle sets, but light on the others.
Mine were very heavy on the Weakies puzzle cards, and mixed on the others

I cut below the packs, as there is a gap in the clamshell where a scissor blade can slip into it, and then cut up to the top to free the packs and header.
They're a pain any way you deal with them!

Those of you opening packs in the last couple of days, if you find any GPKs that aren’t on the checklist, please let me know! I know the results from about 300 packs so far and there are just 49 Standard GPKs. If there is a 50th, it’s poorly distributed. Here’s a link to the checklist if anyone still needs it:

My 3 boxes did not yield anything different on the GPKs, except my Bugged Bart stickers are numbered 11a.

I just clicked on that link now and they were $10 each (didn’t see a sale).  I came across that site a few days ago and saw they were $10 each then as well.

Thanks!  I don’t even know how to clear my cache on my phone (I’m on vacation and don’t have access to my laptop), but it did end up showing up at $6.99 eventually.  Ended up ordering five “packs” and a mini Big Wheel :)

I tried the GetHealthyNow code, but it didn't work on these anymore. Maybe it did a few days ago.

I did sign up for their email newsletter before ordering, and got 10% off. I only bought a handful of packs. Just want a few in my collection.
