There is even a Tiger King Garbage Pail Kids set!įor those who still own their childhood Garbage Pail Kids cards or have recently acquired some, you may be wondering how much money Garbage Pail Kids cards can rake in. Though after the 80s the popularity (and controversy) of the Garbage Pail Kids declined, they are becoming popular again and keep releasing new cards. With their borderline gruesome drawings and names punning the depicted character’s plight, the Garbage Pail Kids were at one point banned in American schools and also faced a lawsuit from the Cabbage Patch Kids. The backs of the cards also featured puzzles, murals, and most recently, mock Facebook profiles. In addition to this, each character depicted had two variations of their card, usually with different names. Meant to be a parody of the popular Cabbage Patch Kids franchise, Garbage Pail Kids are a series of sticker trading cards with depictions of child-like characters in rather unfortunate situations. Whether you grew up seeing these cards around town or have decided to become a collector of this infamous-turned-famous series, the Garbage Pail Kids have left a lasting impression for those who collected them growing up and even now for newbie collectors interested in building their own collection. They were originally a parody, they were involved in a lawsuit, and they were the cause of controversy in the 80s.
