Flashback Re-releases
Topps released a 25th anniversary Flashback set on February 24, 2010, featuring reprints of characters from the original 1985-87 GPK series (8 each from OS1 to OS8) plus six previously unpublished "Lost" characters and 10 "Where Are They Now?" cards showing classic GPKs drawn as they would appear today. Packs contained randomly inserted chase cards including lenticular Loco Motion, authentic Printing Plates, four levels of Parallels, and hand-drawn Artist Sketches by pop-culture artists including Layron DeJarnette, Brent Engstrom, Dave Gross, Mark Pingitore, Joe Simko, Colin Walton, Fred Wheaton, Jeff Zapata, and veteran GPK artists Tom Bunk and Jay Lynch.
A second Flashback set was released on February 23, 2011, with 65 more OS reprints from series 1 to 9 plus five more "Lost" kids, 10 new "WatN?" cards, five 3D cards (resembling holograms but in full color), one-of-a-kind Artist Sketches, and 10 "Adam Mania" cards showing variants of Adam Bomb's iconic mushroom cloud, plus Parallels of the base and Adam Mania sets.
GPK Flashback Series 3 followed on November 2, 2011, with 65 OS reprints, four "Lost" kids, 10 "WatN?" cards, five 3D cards, 10 Adam Mania cards, Artist Sketches, and Parallels.
