Description

Presented is a complete 82-sticker set of 1985 Topps "Garbage Pail Kids" (Series 3). Clearly a parody of Coleco's popular Cabbage Patch Kids dolls (which ultimately led to a trademark infringement lawsuit), Topps Garbage Pail Kids cards were the brainchild of Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Art Spiegelman (of Maus graphic novel fame), who was also the main creator of Topps Wacky Packages. Each sticker features a humorously drawn cartoon kid with a rhyming, alliterative, or word-play nickname. Topps Garbage Pail Kids stickers were an instant hit with youngsters, with many schools banning them because of their edgy content and the distractions they caused. Condition is Nr/Mt to Nr/Mt-Mt (including a few Mint), with 15% Ex to Ex-Mt (mostly Ex-Mt). The set is accompanied by an original wrapper that offers a Very Good to Excellent appearance, technically grading more modestly due to two small tears. This is a superb Series 3 set of overall high-grade stickers from this popular 1980s nonsport set. Total: 82 stickers plus wrapper. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
