Original 1987 Topps Garbage Pail Kids 10th Series unopened sticker and bubble gum pack with the bright green wrapper and cracked-face character artwork. The pack contains the original advertised 5 stickers and 1 stick of bubble gum and remains folded and sealed.
An especially interesting detail is the reverse wrapper advertisement promoting the upcoming Garbage Pail Kids Movie, reading “We’re Alive & Grosser Than Ever!” and “Coming in August,” firmly tying this pack to the franchise’s 1987 pop-culture moment.
