United Kingdom Series 2 | Garbage Pail Kids World

YEAR RELEASED — 1986

Two print runs of the 2nd Series Garbage Pail Kids were released in 1986. One print run is identical to the third print run of the U.S. 2nd Series set. Considering the UK Garbage Pail Kids were released after the U.S. production, the last print run of the U.S. 2nd Series set was used for release in the UK. Hence, card 49b FRAN FRAN nomenclature, the Live MIKE puzzle, and 42a and 42b card backs are used. The wrapper is completely blue from top to bottom and the set has two card variations. The potential, second print run has a blue wrapper where the sealed top and bottom sections are clear and the set has thirteen card variations. A re-release of the 2nd Series occurred due to the rise in popularity of the cards with a large overstock production by Topps Ireland; and, like with the U.S. wrappers, the wrapper codes are the same with no differentiation to distinguish the cards inside.

The UK Garbage Pail Kids were released after the initial hype and craze of the U.S. GPK phenomenon. The cards were released in the UK (England, Ireland, Scotland) as well as distributed in Holland and parts of Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark). 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 there cigarette-card size. The sticker cards come 3 to a plastic or cellophane pack with a slab of gum, except for the 5th Series that comes 4 cards to a pack. The price is marked on the box rather than on the packs. Fifteen original 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 and are changed to accommodate each country that they are released in. This includes any nomenclature, number or header changes — and also, the 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 An unpublished 7th Series was also produced but never printed or released in the United Kingdom.
