Description
The 1st - Garbage Pail Kids/Wacky Pack Juvenile Doll-inquent Unpublished Illustration Original Art (Topps, 1985). This disgruntled little guy is the very first Garbage Pail Kid design ever made. Painted by John Pound, the piece was originally intended to be used for the 1985 Wacky Pack series, a famous parody card line at the time. However, due to backlash and legal threatening by Cabbage Patch Kids, it was decided by Topps CEO Arthur Shorin to not publish it. A famous rumor was that the piece was even requested by Shorin, who personally burned it. Luckily for collectors, this wasn't the case! Topps eventually decided to create a new series separate from Wacky Packs that we all now know as the Garbage Pail Kids series. The rest of the story is pop-culture history, as this series went on to become extremely successful. This original Garbage Pail Kid design is a one-of-a-kind treasure, sure to be the centerpiece for any trading card collector. The art is done on an illustration board and measures 5" x 7". In Excellent condition.Auction Info
