You know, it only took me 30 years to make the whole "unwanted dumpster child" connection. Man, the messages impressionable children were exposed to in the 80's.

Loved GPK as a kid. Used to trade them all the time with my friends. My favorite was always Dead Ted/Jay Decay. Heard about the Flashback series and wanted to get a box of packs but the prices were a bit high. The real chase cards are the sketch cards which seem to be very hard to come by. I did score a complete basic set with the lenticular insert set and some bonus parallel cards for about $20 on ebay. Looking at these things definitely takes me back. Check them out if you were a fan back in the day.

i had a pencil box full of these as a kid. not sure i want them now. i actually find them much more distasteful now. some of them are downright disgusting, which was likely the draw for them when we were kids. now i look at them and just think, really? there is no scenario where i could display them with pride in my house. i'll let this bit of nostalgia pass me by. it was a hard decision to make but i let the MOTUC figures pass too. now Voltron is coming back... it's hard enough to keep up with joes and transformers.
were there ever uncut sheets like baseball cards?

AAhhh!! GIMME GIMME!
GPKs are a large part of my childhood,I still have quite alot of the original series and some of the later GARBAGE GANG and TRASH CAN TROLLS...I only have about 2 of those "cheap toys" though (my dog chewed them up - curse her soul!)

I use to love GPK's when I was a kid, and even though I would love to see some, I probably wouldn't buy any

If I remember correctly, some of the new ones even have original priny plates inserted in some packs.

Garbage Pail Kid cards were great, I used to have tons of them. They need to make a line of GPK 3.75" action figures.
