PRINT RUN PARAGRAPH

     1st series Sgorbions were released throughout Italy in 1990.  Topps Italy manufactured the sticker album cards along with France's "Les Crados" and Spain's "La Pandilla Basura" cards.  The set covers most of the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 8th U.S. series, not in any particular order, with several back variations.  The cards measure slightly smaller than 2 1/2 X 3 1/2 inches, and are non-die cut stickers.  The Italian sets are a direct reproduction of the French Les Crados and have a great gloss finish with images that have been color saturated and faded out so they're not as sharp as the original versions.

FUN FACTS and TIDBITS

1. The Banner-Style Header is used, like in the U.S. 10th - 15th series GPK's.  The Sgorbions title is printed over the old Les Crados logo to block it out.

2. Most cards have Different Colored Name Bars than the U.S. sets.  Ex:  Card #62 "EDMONDO Rubicondo" (U.S. cards 73a "Gorgeous GEORGE" and 73b "Dollar BILL") and card #68 "ANNA burgher" (U.S. 185a "FRAN Furter" and 185b "Hot DOUG")(**notice the banner placed over the character and the misplaced number).




3. Card #59 "RICCARDO Superlardo" (U.S. cards 172a "NAT Nerd" and 172b "CLARK Can't") has the "GPK" Logo Erased off of his shirt and "super comic" is erased off of the comic book he's holding.


4. The 1st, 2nd, and 4th U.S. Backs are used for the 160 card set. Art backs drawn and painted by Tom Bunk, rendered from older Topps sets. See U.S. "GPK History" series sections for further information.

5. Card #140 "JAMES Fond" has the same name as the French Les Crados 1st series card #84 "JAMES Fond".




6. Cards #'s 155 - 157 are Three Puzzle Pieces for card #3 "GENNARO Pattumaro" (U.S. cards 22a "Junky JEFF" and 22b "Stinky STAN"), and cards #'s 158 - 160 are Three Puzzle Pieces for card #114 "GENNARO Rockettaro" (U.S. cards 53a "Jolted JOEL" and 53b "Live MIKE").  There is no true puzzle, but these cards were placed in the sticker album to complete the picture.


7. The Banner-Style Header is placed over the characters in various cards.  Ex:  Card #31 "ROCKY Zero" (U.S. cards  322a "K.O.'d KARL" and 322b "Sparrin' WARREN").




   8. The 1st series Sgorbions set leaves out several images from the U.S. sets that are Not Used, these cards are as follows:

U.S. 1ST SERIES : 38 Out of 41 Cards Used.  Not used: 4a/b "Fryin' BRIAN/Electric BILL", 13a/b "Ashcan ANDY/Spacey STACY", and 37a/b "GuilloTINA/CINDY Lopper".

   U.S. 2ND SERIES : 41 Out of 42 Cards Used.  Not used: 46a/b "Rappin' RON/RAY Gun" (printed as card #608 for the 3rd series Sgorbions set).

   U.S. 5TH SERIES : 35 Out of 40 Cards Used.  Not used: 176a/b "Condo MINNIE/BILL Ding", 178a/b "EARL Painting/Blue-Boy GEORGE", 196a/b "Dangling DOLLY/Surreal NEAL", 197a/b "Doughy JOEY/Starchy ARCHIE", and 202a/b "Ultra VIOLET/TANYA Hide".
