FRANCE RELEASES
|
Les Crados were printed
by the Topps Italy Co., and released throughout France. A total
of two series, measuring 2 1/2 X 3 1/2 inches, that are non-die cut
(peeling from the edges), were produced with some back variations. They
have no 'PEEL HERE' arrows. The cards come 5 to
a wax pack. The cards were released around 1988 after the success
of the Garbage Pail Kids in the U.S. and the U.K. A 44 card 'a'
variation test set was released in France and Belgium in 1986 with the
Garbage Pail Kids title in English and the nomenclature and card-type
in French.

The second installment of
Les Crados was released in September of 2004 in the U.K., manufactured
by Topps Europe Ltd., associated with Merlin Stickers and released throughout
parts of northern Europe. The All New Series 1 Album set is colored
and marketed much like the ANS1 from the U.S. but contains images from
the ANS1, ANS2, and various older U.S. GPK sets. The stickers
measure slightly smaller than the U.S. cards at 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
