LE BANDE DEGLI SGORBIONS = THE GANG OF THE UGLIES




*

The Sgorbions Collection N.1 were released throughout Italy in 1990 as well as in southern parts of Switzerland; the Italian-speaking region. Topps Italy manufactured the sticker album cards along with the French Les Crados and the Spanish La Pandilla Basura releases. The set covers most of the OS1, OS2, OS5 and OS8 U.S. sets, not in any particular order, with several reverse card back variations. The cards measure slightly smaller than 2.5 x 3.5 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. ~

1. The banner-style Header is used, as in the U.S. OS10 through OS15 GPK sets, considering the set was released after the U.S. lawsuit and trademarked under 'THE GARBAGE GANG' moniker. The Sgorbions title is placed over the old Les Crados logo to block it out. ~

~ ~

2. Most cards have different colored Nameplates compared to the U.S. releases.  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 card number. ~

~ ~

3. Card #59 RICCARDO Superlardo (U.S. cards 172a NAT Nerd and 172b CLARK Can't) has the GPK Acronym erased off of his shirt and 'SUPER COMIC' is removed from the comic book the character is holding. ~

~ ~

4. The OS1, OS2 and OS4 U.S. Reverse Card backs are used for the 160 Sgorbions card set. The reverse card artworks were painted by artist Tom Bunk, rendered from older Topps sets. See U.S. 'GPK History' series sections for further information. The box and wrapper character is the most iconic GPK character in place of the ADAM Bomb mascot in the U.S. ~

~ ~

5. Card #140 JAMES Fond has the same Nomenclature as the French Les Crados Series 1 card #84 JAMES Fond. ~

~ ~

6. Cards #155, 156 and 157 are three Puzzle Pieces for card image #3 GENNARO Pattumaro (U.S. cards 22a Junky JEFF and 22b Stinky STAN) and cards #158, 159 and 160 are three puzzle pieces for card image #114 GENNARO Rockettaro (U.S. cards 53a Jolted JOEL and 53b Live MIKE). There is no true puzzle, but these pieces are placed in the sticker album to complete the picture. ~

~ ~

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