Ivy Calvin found a small, collectible treasure inside what he thought was a box of knick-knacks. Hundreds of mint condition Garbage Pail Kids cards and stickers were discovered, turning his $250 gamble into an almost $1,000 profit.

The original Garbage Pail Kids will always be amongst the greatest collectible non-sports cards ever produced.

The Topps Company has long been known as one of the premier producers of baseball cards, but 30 years ago kids would have been just as likely to sit around trading cards featuring “Messie Tessie” or “Adam Bomb” as they would any of the major baseball heroes of the time. That’s because 1985 was the year Topps introduced the Garbage Pail Kids sticker cards, creating a phenomenon that disgusted parents, outraged teachers and – most importantly – thrilled children around the world. The cards and stickers were a major hit on with kids almost immediately, and eventually Topps produced more than a dozen series of cards. Garbage Pail Kids even made the jump into international markets, becoming incredibly popular in Europe, Latin America, Israel and Australia. Topps ceased production of Garbage Pail Kids cards and stickers after 1988, but their popularity has kept them in the public consciousness ever since.
The Garbage Pail Kids stickers became known for their irreverent, gross-out humor and clever wordplay. Examples include “Many Lenny,” who has multiple heads and “Stormy Heather,” whose umbrella is struck by lightning. Other characters, like “Potty Scotty” and “Acne Amy,” speak for themselves and demonstrate why they were so popular with kids.
Topps’ Head of Outbound Licensing, Adam Levine, continued, “It was counterculture – the type of thing that kids didn’t want to be showing their parents.”
Levine continued, “While we’ve had many opportunities and lots of interest over the years, this anniversary does what we couldn’t before, providing a strong brand story for us to build our licensing around; a springboard to make GPK relevant again.”
