To get a good idea of how much Garbage Pail Kids cards are worth, you should review my Price Guide section. I did not list how much the non-US Garbage Pail Kids are worth (except for the United Kingdom Garbage Pail Kids 1st Series) because there really are not enough in the market to give a fair estimate. Since I do not collect Garbage Pail Kids items, I could not give a good estimate of their value, so I did not list them in the price guide.

Many people were against children collecting Garbage Pail Kids cards back in the 1980s. They felt the cards were very vulgar and in bad taste. Before anyone says anything negative about the cards, they should definitely take some time to actually look at them. Why protest something you do not really know anything about? And remember, the protests about the cards back in the 1980s actually helped advertise them and significantly increased their popularity. Look at what the images depict. See similar questions...

The smaller Garbage Pail Kids cards (measuring 3.0" x 2.1") are from the United Kingdom. They are also referred to as being from the British, Britain, England, English, European, Ireland, or Irish release. The United Kingdom Garbage Pail Kids 1st Series is often sold on eBay as a "Garbage Pail Kids 1st Series set," and many people mistakenly purchase it believing they are receiving the United States Garbage Pail Kids 1st Series set.

If you are looking for reputable people to trade with, I recommend trying some of the people who regularly post on my message board. You can post a message on my message board stating what you have for trade and what you are looking for. Always be very cautious when you are buying, selling, and trading with other collectors. Quick e-mail responses, a clear dialogue, and good communication are extremely important when working on a transaction with someone. See similar questions...

To sell your Garbage Pail Kids cards, you should first put them in order (like 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, etc.). Then, go to my Price Guide section to see what series the cards are from. I listed the card ranges for each of the United States Garbage Pail Kids series (like 1a-41a and 1b-41b is for the 1st Series) there. Count how many cards you have from each series. Also, get a general idea of the condition of the cards. Note any cards with stains, writing, or other damage. See similar questions...

Garbage Pail Kids are non-sports trading cards by Topps that were originally made in the United States from 1985 to 1988 and then from 2003 to 2007. The Garbage Pail Kids are parodies of the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls that were popular in the 1980s. Cabbage Patch Kids dolls were marketed towards young girls, and Garbage Pail Kids cards were marketed towards young boys. The general concept of the Garbage Pail Kids was to use the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls to parody just about everything possible. See similar questions...

Often, Garbage Pail Kids are called stickers, but regular sheets of stickers are usually stuck on some sort of thin waxpaper. The Garbage Pail Kids sticker fronts are stuck onto card backing, so they are usually referred to as cards. See similar questions...

There were seventeen regular United States Garbage Pail Kids series released from 1985 to 1988 (fifteen series) and 2003 to 2007 (six series). There were also two "Giant" series made. One Giant series was called "Giant Stickers," and the other was called "1st Series Kids." The names of the Giant series vary depending on who you ask, but all you need to know is that there were two different Giant series made. See similar questions...

In September of 1986, MAD Magazine had a Garbage Pail Kids issue. On the cover of the magazine was the MAD Magazine icon, Alfred E. Neuman, as Nauseating Neuman done in the style of a Garbage Pail Kids character. On the back of the magazine there were nine Garbage Pail Adults drawings. See similar questions...

The correct abbreviation for Garbage Pail Kids is GPK. GPK's is for the possessive form of Garbage Pail Kids (as in Garbage Pail Kids'). It is very common to see people incorrectly writing the abbreviation as GPK's or GPKs. Sometimes, you can find people using GBK as the abbreviation, which is obviously wrong. My guess is that they were typing their message in a hurry and abbreviated the word "garbage" as GB instead of just the G. See similar questions...

You can check my For Sale section, or you can try some of the other Garbage Pail Kids websites. I do not recommend collecting the non-US Garbage Pail Kids until you have collected all of the Garbage Pail Kids from the United States because the non-US Garbage Pail Kids are much more difficult and expensive to collect. Since non-US Garbage Pail Kids are uncommon and sometimes very rare, it is difficult to find someone who is selling them. See similar questions...

I am only looking for the items listed in my Wanted section. If what you want to sell me is not listed there, then I am most likely not interested in purchasing the items from you. I mostly collect the non-US Garbage Pail Kids cards and items, and I know I am not aware of all of the Garbage Pail Kids items that were produced around the world. If you believe you have something I would be interested in, please contact me. See similar questions...

Art Spiegelman and Mark Newgarden were the editors and art directors -- I worked with them the most. Len Brown was the manager over the GPK project. Tom Bunk did some of the GPK paintings starting with Series 3, and James Warhola also did some paintings. Jay Lynch helped Topps out with ideas for some of the fronts and backs. I think MAD writer Stan Hart helped with some of the names. And I think Howard Cruse did a few backs too. There may have been a few more artists who did some backs too. See similar questions...

There was a Garbage Pail Kids handbook that another collector put together. I would not recommend the book because it contains some inaccuracies. Also, there is limited information in the handbook, and there are no color images in it. There were also a variety of Garbage Pail Kids guides and booklets put together by collectors back in the 1980s, and one of the popular guides was Mikael's price guide. Mikael's price guides are collectible, but the pricing information is no longer useful. See similar questions...

All of the people listed below had varying degrees of involvement for the creation of the Garbage Pail Kids, and some of them may have taken on additional roles besides what is listed. Those that have an asterisk near their name were heavily involved with the creation of the Garbage Pail Kids right from the beginning. For the Garbage Pail Kids card fronts, there may have been a few parodies of other card sets, but the card fronts were mostly based on new ideas instead of other card sets. See similar questions...
