Garbage Pail Kids 5th Series Sticker Pack Appraisal

Garbage Pail Kids 5th Series Sticker Pack

This item is a vintage, unopened pack of 'Garbage Pail Kids' stickers from the '5th Series'. The pack features a distinctive black wrapper with vibrant, cartoonish graphics characteristic of the Garbage Pail Kids franchise. The central image depicts a classic Garbage Pail Kids character, whose head appears to be exploding with a mushroom cloud effect, surrounded by jagged yellow lines suggesting an impact or explosion, and debris. The text 'GARBAGE PAIL KIDS' is boldly printed vertically on the right side of the pack in pink letters with a white outline. The top left corner displays the 'Topps' logo, indicating the manufacturer, and below it, the price '25¢ CHEAP' is visible, suggesting a vintage pricing point. On the bottom left, the word 'STICKERS' is prominently displayed in red letters with a white outline. Below this, the contents are listed: '5 STICKERS • 1 STICK BUBBLE GUM'. A red banner near the bottom right states 'ALL NEW! 5TH SERIES'. The pack appears to be in relatively good condition for its age, with sharp edges and minimal visible creasing or tearing on the wrapper. The colors are still bright and clear, indicating good preservation. This item is likely from the mid-to-late 1980s, given the typical release period for Garbage Pail Kids sets and the '5th Series' designation. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced collectible sticker packs from that era, using printed paper or foil for the wrapper material.
