Description

2013 GPK BNS3 – BGS 9.5 GEM MINT – "OBSCENE GENE" Up for grabs is a top-tier specimen from the 2013 Garbage Pail Kids Brand New Series 3. This card features the legendary "Obscene Gene" (#B23a), a fan-favorite parody of the "God of Thunder" himself, Gene Simmons of KISS. Professionally slabbed and authenticated by Beckett (BGS), this card has achieved a prestigious 9.5 Gem Mint grade, making it a "centerpiece" candidate for any GPK or music memorabilia collection. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Grading Company: BGS (Beckett Grading Services) Grade: 9.5 (Gem Mint) Serial #: 0016215191 Subgrades: Centering 9.5 / Edges 9.5 / Corners 9.5 / Surface 9.0 Subset: Bonus Sticker (Special Insert) CONDITION REPORT: Slab: The BGS holder is in pristine, crystal-clear condition, free of scratches or cracks. Eye Appeal: Incredible "Pop!" The colors are saturated and the gloss is mirror-like. With three 9.5 subgrades, this card is just a hair away from a "Pristine 10" status. Significance: The "Bonus Sticker" inserts from 2013 are notoriously difficult to find in high grades due to the sticker-back nature of the card stock. This 9.5 is a rare survivor of that production era.
