Garbage Pail Kids are a series of collectible trading cards first released by Topps in 1985. They were originally designed as a parody of the hugely popular Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, but with a grotesque, humorous twist. Each card typically features characters with a pun-based name, 2 versions of each card, and each card printed as a sticker.

The artwork is the defining element of the series, giving the cards their distinct look. These paintings featured a cartoonish painting style, grotesque exaggeration, and a satirical edge. Anything associated with this cultural phenomenon is highly sought after, especially original artwork.
