Elsewhere in the fandom
Most of what anyone knows about the Garbage Pail Kids checklists was worked out by a handful of collectors who scanned, counted and argued over every card, and several of them are still publishing. This page links to the ones we could verify, and next to each we write what we saw when we opened it, so you do not click through to a dead end. Links go to the other sites, not through us, and nothing here is paid for.

Sites, archives and checklists
The reference sites. GPK World has been online since 1998, and the best of them are one volunteer deep.
- GPKNews Active
The news site the hobby reads first: new sets, odds, checklists, production estimates, error guides and artist interviews, usually a post or two a week.
- GEEPEEKAY No dates shown
The image archive. Hundreds of pages and thousands of card pictures from the Original Series through the Chrome and online sets, plus a merchandise catalogue. Our Original Series checklists credit its painter codes.

Variations, fakes and a long FAQ, with a price guide whose method is not stated.

A non-sports checklist library. Our Original Series name lists were checked against it.

Reddit and social
Where the newest pulls get posted.
- r/garbagepailkids No dates shown
Pull posts, trades and a weekly sales thread.
Facebook groups
Facebook is where most day-to-day trading happens. It shows nothing to logged-out visitors, so we say so next to each group.
- GPK Marketplace Could not read
Buying, selling and trading. Facebook shows nothing to logged-out visitors, so the link is a search.
- GPK Misfits Could not read
A collector group. Same caveat as above.
What we looked for and did not find
- A forum that the long-running fan sites link to. Ours opens soon.
