OS16 COMIC BACKS










POSTMARKED DEC 20, 2006









Besides Gary Whitney, Jay Lynch also had fellow friend and artist Jim Siergey assist with working on the OS16 card backs. It is guesstimated that Jim worked on 13 of the titles and Gary worked on the remaining 6 titles.



Per social media on 07/17/2020, artist Jim Siergey stated: "I don't know if this has ever been seen before. These are the backs of what was to be the final edition of Garbage Pail Kids trading cards. I think I penciled and inked them, maybe only inked them, I don't remember but it was one or t'uther. Jay Lynch wrote them. I also don't know if this was all of them or if it's the correct order but they are the only ones I had photocopied. In scanning them I blew them up 200% because they were tiny--trading card back size.. I stated that I don't think they've ever been seen before because Topps pulled the plug on printing them! So the GPKs had no grand finale. Until now..."
