Garbage Pail Kids stickers were created in the mid 80s from Topps as a way to entertain kids and their love of all things gross. The sticker cards contained 22 series It came in a wax pack with a stick of gum with 10 stickers, much like a pack of baseball cards. The stickers featured a mock of Cabbage Patch Dolls doing something crude and always amusing. This was because Cabbage Patch Dolls were very popular at the time. The cards were distributed to several different countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Chile, Holland, Canada, Brazil, Belgium, Australia, and New Zealand.
Probably the most recognizable sticker card of all the collection is Adam Bomb. The sticker card shows a kid with a detonation device and the top of his head blowing up. I'm not sure why everyone likes this card the most because its not rare at all, but nowadays everyone now identifies Garbage Pail Kids by this one sticker.
Anyways, I still think the card is pretty cool and would look great next to my other odd ball collection of junk. I stroll over to Ebay to check out how many listings there are. There are quite a few and range in price from $10 to $100. Why the big range? Well there are a couple that are graded in mint condition and that can sky rocket the price. My only decision is whether or not to get a graded version. I guess the only reason to get the graded version is to know that I got a mint condition version and that it is encased and protected forever.
