1. Garbage Pail Kids were just that...grotesque little kids that could be found in a Garbage Pail... They were stickers and at their birthdate in the 1980s, they were stickers that came with pink bubblegum...
   
   Today they no longer come with the pink gum but they still remain stickers on trading cards and are quite collectible and I have to warn you, after one pack of Garbage Pail Kids, and then you're hooked!
2. Garbage Pail Kids are produced in the 2000s because of the affection and nostalgia of the 1980s in this decade... To the now adults that lived thru the 1980s craze they are a very special treat.
   
   How to have fun collecting, buying, and creating Garbage Pail Kids? Well, I will tell you how...
3. The best part about Garbage Pail Kids has to be the be the buying... They are relatively inexpensive averaging around 1 dollar a pack and they give a generous amount of cards! The cards come numbered so you can know how many in the series you have and you can collect from there!
4. The selling of Garbage Pail Kids should be just as easy to sell be it a collection from the 1980s or even the 2000s- they are a desirable product at local run Comic Book Stores... Just walk into one of those stores with your collection in hand and offer to sell them... and 9 times out of 10 they will accept the sale with no questions asked but it is always sad to see them go but they do sell...
5. Make your own Garbage Pail Kids! When I was a kid I loved them so much that I was inspired to create my own Garbage Pail Kids with pens and markers on cardstock... I came up with my own grose names for the kids and had my dad xerox them so they were produced in little quantities! What fun! It was a great time creating Garbage Pail Kids...!
6. Series. Just remember that the cards run in different series such as the first series (the most rare) to third and fifth series and so on... I really hope you get some of the first series in your collection!
