UK ALBUM SET








RELEASE PERIOD : AUGUST 2004

The All-New Series 1 (ANS1) GPK Album Sticker set was published in the late summer of 2004 by the Topps Europe Ltd company (distributed by Merlin Stickers) and released throughout northern Europe. A total of one print run was released during a resurrection of the 80's GPK nostaglia period in the U.S. with new releases that started in August of 2003. The UK GPK album set is comprised of 192 images from the ANS1 set, the ANS2 set and several images from the later Original Series (OS) releases without any A-name or B-name twin cards. The set contains 181 base stickers and Foil stickers along with 11 poster stickers that are placed on poster-page taken from the album. Each paper pack contains 4 stickers and one Foil sticker on thin card stock. Instead of the old cigarette card-size of earlier UK releases, often referred to as 'mini', this set contains cards roughly the same size as the U.S. release measuring 2.5 x 3.5 inches.

The second UK GPK set to contain Chase Cards, not including the foil stickers found within the release, as eleven poster 'chase' stickers.

The First Card in the UK album set is the 'Garbage Pail Kids' title on a Foil sticker.



The release contains GPK Banners and sticker borders of various colours that matches the theme for each section of the sticker album; the banner colours include: black, light blue, light orange, red, dark green, dark blue, pink, dark orange, light purple, light green, brown, turquoise, dark purple, aqua, grey and dark yellow (see images pictured further below as examples).

The set contains many Foil Card Images from the U.S. ANS1 and ANS2 sets on non-foil sticker card stock. These images are updated versions of characters from the Original Series (OS) releases created digitally by Pat and Sean Glover. Some of these images are drastically changed with heavy, outlined borders and others have just a small amount re-work such as the eyes, arms, et cetera, in order to make them as non-CPK (Cabbage Patch Kids) as possible for the U.S. re-release of the GPK franchise. Pictured below; cards #79 Dead TED and #115 Bratty MADDY.



The set contains no PEEL HERE Arrows on the card fronts since album releases are known to be in sticker format.

The first Unpublished Twin card name to be released outside of the U.S. for card #37 RACHEL Retch; the name was listed as the 'b' name when the image was originally located within the base set. The artwork was pulled from the U.S. ANS2 set and replaced in order to make the bonus card B1 On Camera CAMERON; leaving the twin name 'RACHEL Retch' as unpublished, until now.



Paper Wrappers are used instead of the plastic or cellophane wrappers of years past. No packaging code is located on the packs or boxes.

The UK release consists of Artwork pulled from the U.S. ANS1 set, the ANS2 set (including various foil card images) and characters from the OS GPK sets (including the OS10 through OS15 card sets). Images from the OS13, OS14 and OS15 sets are new to the UK and not previously released; the OS1 through OS12 characters had been released in the UK in the late 80's and early 90's. Please see the checklist below for more information on which image came from which U.S. set. For more Fun Facts & Tidbits please visit the U.S. ANS1, ANS2 and OS pages.
