Ponzi’s Garbage Pail Kids
Ponzi’s going to be a Garbage Pail Kid!!! Yes, you all know my fascination with Garbage Pail Kids (even though I’m still mising Bonus Card B5, COLE Gate). A few weeks ago, I emailed Luis Diaz with a small request: that he create a GPK incorporating Ponzi’s two names (well, “Ponzi” is just her nickname – with Latthanapon being her birth name). You see, as I was going through ANS5, she lamented that they never have any GPKs with her name on them. I thought: “Let me see if I can commission an artist to surprise her.” Sure enough, Luis will create a GPK just for you (different options at different prices). He whipped up this sketch:
This will be made into two separate cards: Piercing PONZI and Lust-Upon LATTHANAPON. And today, did a series of watercolors for us to choose from (yes, I couldn’t hold the surprise back when the original pencil GPK sketch came in). We picked the upper far right and the lower far left – which will be arriving in traditional Garbage Pail Kids sticker dimensions soon enough. This is just too cool:
These cards will be priceless! I may ask him to go back and render a full-color version of one of ‘em to make it look like a genuine GPK. Maybe I’ll just commission another one? What about… WINER Diner, Noble SCOBLE, KEVIN Rosey, Scary ARRINGTON, RUBEL Yell, Tin CANTER, PIRILLO Armadillo, Messy MESSINA, or PONZI Screams? Those would be perfect giveaways at Gnomedex.

And I thought I was the only person fascinated with GBK.

[...] And I just won the last Garbage Pail Kid I needed to complete my collection (B5, Cole Gate). Of course, it wasn’t Ponzi’s GPK – I already own that. [...]

Hey,
I was a big fan when i was a kid. I have a collection that is in pretty good shape.
I would say there are about 15 to 18 hundred cards from the first series til about the 7th or 8th series.
I remember the series I collected had puzles on the back of the cards and I had numorouse completed puzzles.
Not sure what they are worth if anything, but i don’t just want to throw them away.
Let me know.
Thanks
