About garbagepail.kids
An independent fan card index for Garbage Pail Kids. It starts from the stickers: every kid gets a page that gathers each card printed with that name, who painted it, and where to find a copy.
What this site is
garbagepail.kids is an independent fan site, part of the HERO80 network of fan sites. It is not an official Topps property and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or licensed by The Topps Company or Fanatics. We cover the cards from the 1985 Original Series to the current Topps drops, the painters, the 1987 film and the 1988 cartoon.
Where the data comes from
The Original Series checklists were built from the House of Checklists lists and checked against GEEPEEKAY's painter codes. Where two sources disagree we say so on the card page rather than pick one. The fan archives did the hard work first, and the community directory links to every one we used.
How it is run
This is a hobby project. There are no paywalls on the reference pages. Editorial decisions sit with the editor, Mark Sheard, and where we are not sure of a fact we say so rather than guess. Any AI-assisted content is labelled.
