2003 Topps Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 1 marked the return of an ’80s icon after a long break. It had been 15 years since OS15 came out in 1988. The look might be updated and a little different to what collectors were used to with the Original Series run, but it’s still a distinctly GPK release. So while the nostalgia runs strong, there are some modern elements added for good measure because card collecting in the early millennium was very different than the days of riding bikes to the corner store in the 1980s.
2003 Topps Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 1 Checklist Details
One area that is vintage GPK is the base set. Consisting of 80 total cards, it maintains the customary A/B name variations throughout the set. That means 40 pieces of art, each with an A name and a B name. Much of it finds its roots in the Original Series run of the 1980s as gags done for a never-released Series 16. This isn’t the case for every cards, but many of them.
Released in two printing waves, this did create some variations. For starters, first wave cards can be found with both matte backs and slicker glossy backs. Everything from wave two has matte backs. Because of a tweaked checklist, eight cards also got new backs in the second wave to stay consistent with the changes.
Every pack of 2003 Topps Garbage Pail Kids ANS1 has a foil card. However, this represents another change between waves one and two. The first have Silver Foil while Gold Foil followed in the second. Both have the same 50-card checklists. The characters are all from the Original Series but they’ve been recolored.
Wave one also included gum. It wasn’t the pink sticks that most collectors from the 1980s would have been used two. Rather, it came in the form of gum blocks like Bazooka Joe or Dubble Bubble. Each piece comes with a Small Sticker wrapper around it. Like the foil cards, all 60 Small Stickers are from the Original Series with the new coloring. Each wave one pack has four pieces of gum. They didn’t return for the second and were replaced by two extra base cards.
