Garbage Pail Kids

The Garbage Pail Kids was the title of a series of trading cards produced by the Topps Company starting in 1985. The cards parodied the birth certificates included with the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls. Each card contained a picture of a Garbage Pail Kid (such as the baby covered in tattoos named "Art Gallery", or the vomiting "Heavin' Steven") and came with an "a" or "b" version, each with a different name. Each series of cards also included a few cards that had rare "triplets", meaning a second "a" or "b", for a total of three different names. Fifteen regular series were released in the United States with many more sets released in other countries. Two large card editions were released along with a set of posters as well.

The Garbage Pail Kids began as an unreleased Wacky Packages title. The management at Topps decided it was a good idea for a spinoff series, and released the new series instead of the original Garbage Pail Kids Wacky Pack.
