Garbage Pail Kids - 1st Series
Topps - 1985

Preface: Topps produced each Garbage Pail Kids series as a natural group of
88 cards, 44 each of the "a" and "b" variety.  Often the numerical series has
fewer than 44 cards, and the additional cards were planned from the beginning
as variations.  Usually these "planned" variations show up as different back
designs.

The 1st series had three back variations: cards 5a&b, 8a&b, and 29a&b.  The
numerical set is 82 cards, a complete variation set is 88 cards.  Both "glossy" and "matte"
finishes are found on cards from both the first and second printings, with glossy being
the most common. Some collectors pursue complete sets of both finish-varieties.

Box: 48 packs of 5 stickers.
Common sets (82/88): approx. 2.73 per box if collation were perfect.
