Another six cards have entirely different backs. They're still very popular today, but they don't command nearly as much as Series 1 cards. Tracking down a basic set isn't that tough.
Many of the middle series are still readily available. It's likely due to the line's growing popularity and mainstream acceptance. Any controversy only helped matters.
Set Checklist. Ive got a stack of garbage pail kids cards and im trien to see if there worth anything there not excellent condition but there in good condition. How would I go about seeing how much there worth. I have 3 boxes of series 3 and 2 boxes of series 4 unopened packs. Thanks for the help. So, if anyone has a full set in decent condition, it might be time to get rid of them.
She has an obsession with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and enjoys bullying people into playing the Buffy board game. She takes far too many pictures of both her dog and her horse, and prefers spending time with them to hanging out with actual human beings. Jamie loves all things pop culture and believes her life would be meaningless without a soundtrack.
She aspires to write about the things that she loves at a job that can support her massive Thai take-out addiction. By Jamie Gerber Published Aug 01, Share Share Tweet Email 0. Related Topics SR Originals garbage pail kids. This little kid has lit dynamite ready to explode in his left hand, while his right holds a heavy machine gun.
He wears spiked combat boots, spiked wrist cuffs, and a camo outfit complete with the army sunglasses. His weapons are complete with arrows and a grenade. He is the ultimate depiction of every 80s movie now, even the more comedic ones. These two cards show a lot of violence, but because of the ware movies circulating at the time, were probably not a big issue for a parent like some of the other cards. A young kid is shown in prison garb being shocked in the electric chair.
The kid is even pinned down by handcuffs and ankle cuffs. Perhaps it is the picture of extreme pain on the face of the kid. These cards are a rare find in mint condition, which helps to give them value to a collector despite the disturbing images.
Card 83b Sumo Sid is the very last card issued for the second series, and therefore receives a bump in value because it is difficult to find them in mint condition, making them a rare gem for a collector. The image of a sumo wrestler with the ground cracking under him is not nearly as controversial as some of the others on the list, and probably created less outrage for parents and kids alike.
Because the cards are the last of the series, it is almost impossible to find in mint condition and therefore it is a valuable keepsake for a collector, even though it brings in fewer dollars than some of the more violent images. This is perhaps because of how many still exist or the lesser effect of card compared to Electric Bill and the Adam cards.
She is one of the few female cards, which makes sense, considering the cards were originally advertised for the boys. Like many of the cards on this list, it is rare to find this one in mint condition, adding a bit more value for a collector. The picture is an illustration of a young girl in a yellow raincoat and red rain boots getting electrocuted during a rainstorm when lightning strikes her directly on the head, missing her umbrella.
Despite the electrocution, it is not as violent as Electric Bill or Junkie Jeff and is painted with bright, vivid colors. It shows the viewer a young girl dressed in pink prison garb with her hands tied behind her back, smiling as the guillotine comes down on her neck. She has bright blue eyes and red pigtails. She looks like she could be on the cover of a blizzard strawberry shortcake book or something.
Just try to imagine what the company was trying to convey to kids with this rare, awkward card. The image is quite disturbing, and not something parents would want their children looking at overtime. What advertisement message could a scene like this possibly say to a young boy, after all? IS it because of the fact that it is a female kid on the card, or the cheery violence happening in the picture? Snooty Sam was a variant of Uncle Sam that was a bit more candid. This was another one of those weird original cards.
It shows a naked baby as a fire hydrant and a young pup sniffing happily around it. The artists capture perfectly the moment that the character realizes what is about to happen with shock and awe as most of their cards do. This one has a counterpart like most of the cards called Doug Plug, much like the other cards mentioned here, it has been recreated over the years. Each card seems to get weirder and weirder.
