United States Garbage Pail Kids Additional Notes

The United States Garbage Pail Kids Series 1-15 boxes did not come shrink wrapped, but some dealers do shrink wrap the boxes to help keep the original packs intact.  Each wax box from the United States Garbage Pail Kids Series 1-15 that was packaged in Canada would have one piece of tape near the front of the box on the lid to help hold it closed.  The United States Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 1-7 boxes came shrink wrapped.        The card and wrapper variation lists for individual United States Garbage Pail Kids series can be downloaded by going to the section for that particular series.  There is also a card and wrapper variation list covering all of the United States Garbage Pail Kids series together, which available in the Downloads section.        The United States Giant 1st Series and Giant Stickers are sometimes referred to as the 5x7 or oversized series.  The Giant Stickers series is sometimes called the Giant 2nd Series.  There are only two United States Garbage Pail Kids Giant sets.        There is still some information about the United States Garbage Pail Kids wrapper variations that is speculative.  It is believed that there is one wrapper code missing for either the United States Garbage Pail Kids 3rd, 4th, or 5th Series.  The code in question is 0-490-21-04-6.  There is also the possibility that United States Garbage Pail Kids 4th Series wrapper code 0-490-21-06-6 comes with a White Mushroom Cloud on the front instead of just the Purple Mushroom Cloud on front.  If there are additional wrapper variations, there should be one wrapper with a Sweatshirt Offer and another wrapper with a T-shirt Offer.  The wrappers would most likely have "GUM MADE IN CANADA" printed near the bar code.        The wrapper for the Canada O-Pee-Chee Garbage Pail Kids 1st Series is included with the United States Garbage Pail Kids 1st Series wrapper variations.        The information on the total number of variations and the dimensions of the activity cards, alphabet cards, bonus cards, bubble gum wrap around stickers, foil cards, game cards, magnet cards, pop-up cards, promo cards, scratch 'n stink cards, and tattoo cards can be found in the United States Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 1-7 sections.
