— The banner-style Header is used, exactly like the U.S. OS10 through OS15 GPK sets. The Sgorbions moniker is printed over the old GPK logo to block out the Les Crados header. The Sgorbions Series 2 black box covers the entire rectangle whereas Series 1 does not.

— Card #329 ELVIRA Presa Di Mira (U.S. 111a Target MARGARET and 111b Bullseye BARRY) can be found with two different colored Headers that is either the regular yellow with red background found in both print runs or the misprinted white with pink background found only in the first print run.



— A first for any GPK release, the set has a Yellow Border instead of a white border; there are also green bordered cards within the football/soccer subset found within the set ... images pictured further below.

— Card #393 Rollo A MOLLO (U.S. cards 379a Locked DORIAN and 379b SIDNEY Kidney) has the word 'MEN' and Male Sign image unsuccesfully removed from the bathroom door.



— There's a special sixteen card green-bordered subset with a Soccer (Football) Theme included in the middle of the set numbering #281 through #296. Cards examples for eight of these sixteen special insert cards can be seen below.

— There are eight characters used in Both Sets for the Series 1 and Series 2 Sgorbions releases due to the soccer-themed cards with three of the character's nomenclature changed. The artist(s) is unknown for the rendered, digitally added artwork. Note the image is reversed for cards #136 ORNELLA Stampella and #290 TOTO Non Ce La Fo, Series 1 and Series 2, respectively.






— Various Reverse Card Backs from the U.S. GPK OS3, OS5, OS6, OS7, OS8, OS9, OS10, OS11, OS12 and OS15 sets are used for the 256 card Sgorbions Series 2 release. Please see U.S. series sections for artist and writer information.

— Most cards have different colored Nameplates compared to the U.S. sets. Ex: card #270 LORIS Scultoris (U.S. cards 486a Chiseler Chad and 486b JULIUS Sneezer) and card #344 Va-LENTINA (U.S. 145a DALE Snail and 185b Crushed SHELLY). NOTE: Italy card not at the same scale as the U.S. card, comparison-wise.



— The Sticker Album was somewhat organized into different themes like food, sports, monsters, et cetera. Ex: cards #236 through #260 deal with food.

— The banner-style Header is placed over the characters on several cards instead of behind due to lesser production values; there involves far less work rendering the cards for the different releases. Ex: card #337 Evarista VELOCISTA (U.S. cards 461a MARA Thon and 461b Racy LACEY and U.K. card 461a MARA Thon). Also see card #329 further above.



— The Series 2 release has a Same Name as a Series 1 character; cards #287 RAMBO Bambo and #116 RAMBO Bambo. Also, card #325 Punching PAUL has the same name as the Les Crados Series 2 card #308 Punching PAUL.

— The Nameplate is placed over the band-aid (or plaster) in card #187 MARIA Infermeria (U.S. cards  210a Intense PAYNE and 210b First ADA). The same phenomenon as the French Les Crados card #338 SARAH Sparadrap.



— The main reasons several characters were Not Printed for the OS3, OS4, OS6, OS7, OS9 and OS11 U.S. GPK sets are: politics, execution, dismemberment of limbs/head and the four OS4 nomenclature changes. Cards from the OS10, OS12, OS13, OS14 and OS15 GPK sets were used in their places instead to complete the sets. A few cards were used from the OS1, OS2 and OS5 GPK sets for the soccer-themed cards:
