Garbage Pail Kids trading cards ftw!

My brother and I collected all of them, (and even had quite a few duplicates). The gum was always stiff as a board and went straight to the trash. Good times!

I loved those. I loved the fact that you could combine them and turn it around and have a giant GPK.

Flashback! My parents couldn't afford daycare, so I went to work w/ them, (they owned a small business in Wichita). I remember stealing change out of my dad's desk drawer so I could walk up to the corner store and buy Garbage Pail Kids cards. I would leave the store w/ a few packages and rip into them and start combining them to complete the pic on the back.

So many memories!
