Holiday Cards

The Holiday Cards page is about Topps’ first Garbage Pail Kids greeting-card release, which featured 10 different cards with themed images and specific text for Christmas, Chanukah, and New Year’s Eve.

The set came out in two versions, Box A and Box B, with five images in each box. Altogether there are ten different cards, and nine of them are classic images while one is exclusive new art by Joe Simko. Each box held 10 cards, two of each, along with 10 envelopes. The backs also carry a “First Printing” mark, implying that additional printing runs were planned.

The cards come packaged in a cardboard box with a plastic lid, sealed with a gold-foil sticker. The envelopes have a green border-artwork that conceals Mr. Adam Bomb, and the flap of the envelope features the Garbage Pail Kids banner.
