The last time collectors got a full set of new cards was Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 7, which was released back in 2007. Although there have been some Garbage Pail Kids Flashbacks sets and a small series of magnets to hold long-time fans over, many became hungry for new cards. 2012 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Brand-New Series does just that. It reboots the franchise, taking the gross-out stickers back to their roots.

Drawn in the classic style from the 1980s, 2012 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Brand-New Series boasts a set of 110 sticker cards. As always, they mix disgusting sight gags with the instantly recognizable spoof of the Cabbage Patch Kids. Further fueling the retro charm are puzzle backs. Reality TV mash-ups add current relevance (although one has to wonder how much Snooki and her Jersey Shore crew can be spoofed).

For those who have always dreamed of being a Garbage Pail Kid, rare code redemptions will give collectors the chance. The grand prize is a spot in the next set.

The 2012 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Brand-New Series base set is complimented by five parallel sets: Green, Silver, Black, Gold and Printing Plates. Black parallels and Printing Plates are exclusive to hobby packs.

The iconic Adam Bomb gets his own insert set with Adam Bomb Through History. Other inserts include Motion Cards that use lenticular images, and Mix 'n' Match Stickers that let collectors build custom Garbage Pail Kids. Artists who contributed to 2012 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Brand-New Series also did a handful of sketch cards.

Product Configuration: 24 Packs Per Box, 8 Sticker Cards Per Pack
Price Point: Low-End Entertainment Card
Target Audience: Garbage Pail Kids Collectors, Nostalgic Card Collectors, Sketch Card Collectors, Set Builders
