About 2017 Garbage Pail Kids Battle of the Bands

2017 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Battle of the Bands overview, key cards and what collectors chase

2017 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Battle of the Bands sends the Garbage Pail Kids after bands, singers and musicians, with all-new art split into seven music genres. It was the second GPK series of 2017 and was released on 18 October 2017.

What's in the checklist

  • Base: 180 sticker cards, 90 subjects with A and B names, numbered separately within Pop (21), Classic Rock (20), Hard Rock (9), Metal (10), New Wave & Punk (10), Alternative (10) and Rap and R&B (10)
  • Parallels: Puke, Phlegm (retail gravity feed only), Bruised, Spit /99 and Bloody Nose /75 (Hobby Collector only), Fool's Gold /50 and four Printing Plates /1
  • Inserts: Classic Rock Stickers (20, retail fat packs), GPK Album Covers & Concert Posters (10, Hobby Collector), Bathroom Buddies (6, Target value boxes) and Gross Bears (6, Walmart and online value boxes)
  • Patches: 20 Patch Cards of the Classic Rock Stickers characters
  • Sketch cards and autographs: standard, shaped, panoramic, dual-artist panoramic and loaded puzzle sketch cards plus artist autographs exist, but no artist roster is published, so they are not listed

Key characters

Pop is the largest genre, with Monarch Michael (1a), Torturing Taylor (12a) and Krazy Katy (14a). Classic Rock opens with Johnny Crash and Ringo of Fire, and Metal with Oozing Ozzy and Jack Sabbath.

Grading considerations

Match the genre as well as the number: every genre restarts at 1a, so Pop 1a and Metal 1a are different cards. Fool's Gold /50, Bloody Nose /75 and Spit /99 parallels and the Patch Cards are among the cards collectors most often grade. GPK stickers are prone to off-center cuts and corner dings, and the patch cards are thicker than the base. See our pricing.
