When I was a kid, I was HORRIFIED by those cards. I mean, I had a true phobia of those things. I remember when some kid showed a card to me in front of my face, I ran away screaming and crying. I was so scared of them, I wouldn't even go in stores that sold them. I even changed my vocabulary. I would stay "take the trash out" not "take the garbage out." The best thing that happened to me when I was in the 2nd grade was when the principal spoke on the intercom and announced that students could not bring Garbage Pail Kids to school anymore.
Another question, what would possess you or anyone to want to collect those awful things? With Transformers, GI Joe and other toys back in the hey-day also? Somebody send a box of Garbage Pail Kids to my house just so that I can burn those things.
