UK GARBAGE GANG EDITION







RELEASE YEAR : 1992

The eighth and final installment of the Original Series UK Garbage Pail Kids cards sets plus the continuation of 'The Garbage Gang' releases. The set basically consists of all of the 'a' character cards of the U.S. 11th Series set and all of the 'a' character cards of the U.S. 12th Series set that sequentially number from 418a through 500a. The set was produced in 1991, for packaging, and was manufactured, printed and released in 1992. The UK won't see another GPK release until the resurgence of the 80's nostalgic cards until 2004 in the form of an All-New Series (ANS) trading card set as well as an ANS Album set that covers new characters and images previously unpublished in the UK.

The UK Garbage Pail Kids were released after the initial hype and craze of the U.S. phenomenon. The cards were released in the UK (England, Ireland, Scotland) as well as distributed in Holland and parts of Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark), slapped with a clocal price tag.  Unlike the U.S. cards that measure 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches and are die-cut, the UK cards are smaller, measuring 2 1/8 x 3 inches and are non die-cut, peeling from the edges, and are sometimes referred to as 'mini' because of their cigarette-card size. The sticker cards come three to a plastic or cellophane pack with a slab of gum, except for the OS5 set that comes four cards to a pack. The price is marked on the box rather than on the packs. Fifteen original series U.S. sets were released by Topps compared to only eight UK series released by Topps Ireland; Topps International Limited established in November 1975. All international GPK are a direct reproduction of the U.S. version or sequential international release and are changed to accommodate each country that they are released in. This includes any nomenclature, numbering or header and logo changes—also, covering up card numbers with overlaying boxed numbers or old 'PEEL HERE' arrows with boxes or larger arrows pointing in the opposite direction. A 15-card Giant set was also released in the UK which is same as the U.S. version, but with different copyright date information and matte finished backs. An unpublished OS7 UK set was also produced but never printed or released in the United Kingdom.

The '91 Garbage Gang set contains No Twin character cards. Visit the U.S. 11th Series and 12th Series pages, respectively, to view character artwork for the UK '92 release.

Considering the card backs are exactly the same as the U.S. release, the FLICK IT! section cannot be properly displayed.

The set contains a very cool and unique black and white Graphic Border that fits the release nicely.



Since only half of the U.S. 11th Series and the 12th Series sets are used for the UK release, only one Puzzle per U.S. set can be completed.

The Checklist contains only 'a' card numbers; no 'b' numbers.
