5. The third series found with either a Printing Press Error or computer glitch.  The second print run cards 458a "Dental Hy GENE" (green bar), 458b "RUDY Canal" (green bar), 459a "VomiTED" (orange bar, yellow blotch), and 459b "Juicy JULES" (yellow blotch only).

8. A second for the U.S. Garbage Pail Kids sets ... the series has a set of cards with No "PEEL HERE" Arrows -- cards 440a "BERT Squirt" and 440b "FRITZIE Zits".

1. Artist Tom Bunk had Different Renditions For several of his 11th series Color Roughs. Below is an example of one of these various color versions that you can compare to the actual final artwork for cards 427a "Ripped FLETCH " and 427b "Taped TATE".


2. The 11th series "Flick It! " section artwork on the back of the cards which emulates a flipbook-type effect was completed By Richard McGuire. The 11th series Puzzle Puke artwork on the back of the cards was completed by Tom Bunk. Artist Jay Lynch completed the written gags, the color roughs, and final artwork assisted by Gary Whitney.

Featuring: 2nd series 77a "Ghastly Ashley" and 77b "Acne AMY"; 1st series 3a "Up CHUCK" and 3b "Heavin' STEVEN" along with several other GPK characters.

3. Flowcharts were created For the later GPK series', which showed the art director how the work of the new set was going -- which artist was working on which concept piece, and the stage in which the painting had been completed. Often, concept pieces were denied and the department tried to work them into later sets. A list of additional concept pieces was found at the bottom of the flowchart in case pieces could not be used. The 11th series contained the following ideas which either replaced denied concept pieces within the set, were saved for a later series, or never saw the light of day: "bagpipe" (15th), "justice and scales", "Nancy Reagan", "kid as mop" (TCT), "VCR" (15th), "mace steele head" (11th), "hand puppet pet" (15th), "flexing muscle - head as muscle" (unpublished Bill Wray artwork), "Jack-in-the-box assassin".
