Child of the 80s
The UPS lady showed up on my doorstep this morning, bundle in hand. Inside rested three unopened boxes of 16th Series Garbage Pail Kids. I rushed upstairs and ripped it open, enabling the gum scent from Brazil to fill the air. Long gone are the wax packs; they've been replaced by aluminum wrapping. No matter, it was time to rediscover my childhood. Topps opted to make it a collector's dream (and nightmare), including 3 regular stickers, 1 foil sticker, and 4 flexible comic gum inserts in each package. I blasted [Billy] through my purchase, and discovered that I'm now the owner of two complete 16th sets – though I lack two foil cards (9a and 21b). I'm considering eBay for the duplicate collection, unless the asking price won't help me recoup costs. Still, I'm on the lookout for those two silver-lined throwbacks. Got 'em? Need 'em.

Garbage Pail Kids ruled when I was a kid. I've still got a ton of the old cards from the 80's. Unfortunately not a whole set or anything…damn parents anyway. Hey Chris, do they have a big montage picture you can make on the back of the cards like the old sets did?

My little sister used to collect them but I was too old (or so I thought) to do the same. I used to buy them and taunt her with them because I always got the “good” cards and I made her barter for them. Now she's my “Big” baby sister at 6'1 and would likely pound me into the dirt if I did that to her :)
