    I remember the Garbage Pail Kids collectors cards pretty well. Sam Bamford gave me a Slimy Hymie card so i swapped it for two others. Reckon I had over 20 cards by the time I got bored of it. It was a good laugh carting them round the playground (held together with an elaccy band) playing 'swopsies'.

    But then Top Trumps took hold....;)

    I still have mine. I only had about 20 and they were all from series 10 going by that website.

    How did they get away with selling those to kids? Like Itchy Mitch - a baby scratching himself with a weird fork/rake thing.
    Imagine the uproar now if they brought them out.
