To follow up on Cory and give all collectors some perspective on how the GPK have changed or more so have been creatively limited from the original [O.S.] to the ANS, I've tabulated the following statistics for four major card content themes:

"POOP"
O.S. = 2 / 620 = 0.32% (And these were more implied poop rather than obvious of the ANS)
ANS = 17 / 344 = 4.94%

"PEE"
O.S. = 6 / 620 = 0.97%
ANS = 14 / 344 = 4.07%

"FARTING"
O.S. = 6 / 620 = 0.97%
ANS = 21 / 344 = 6.10%

"VOMIT"
O.S. = 30 / 620 = 4.84%
ANS = 37 / 344 = 10.76%

Note: for the ANS series I included all new & unique cards (base sets, bonus cards & scratch-n-stinks) for the total (denominator). I think these numbers speak for themselves & support my hypothesis stated above. Matt

> Looks like he's saying that GPK are poop, pus and pee cards to me, which is a dumb statement. We know that isn't the case...or at least wasn't the case. It's true now, but it wasn't back then. I bet less than 10% of the cards up to #250 involve that crap in the OS. That's how you tarnish the GPK name. You take what used to be a great set of cards, one of the most popular sets in non-sport history, and turn it into a shell of it's former self. They should have just brought back Bathroom Buddies if they just wanted to do toilet humor gags over and over again. We all know those sold through the roof.
