2020 Topps Garbage Pail Krashers Checklist

2020 Garbage Pail Krashers is a Topps online-exclusive sticker set that puts Garbage Pail Kids characters behind the wheel of hot rods, with all the art by Joe Simko. It was the first Krashers series, sold on topps.com as On-Demand Set #17 for a limited window from August 27 to September 3, 2020, and it sold out within hours of going on sale. A final run of 1,800 sets was reported.

What's in the checklist

• Base: 20 sticker cards plus an unnumbered header. Cards 1 to 10 are the cars and 11 to 19 are the drivers, including Adam Bomb, Nasty Nick and Leaky Lindsay; their backs build two puzzles, and card 20, Valerie Vomit, carries the checklist
• Parallels: none
• Inserts: License Plate Backs (10, two per set), the ten cars with a vanity plate on the back; Rough Art (10, two per set), the cars as pencil roughs; and 5x7 Posters (one per set) of the ten cars and the header
• Sketch cards: hand-drawn sketch cards fell in about one in two sets. No artist list was published, so they are not listed

Grading considerations

Every set contained the full base set, so condition, not scarcity, separates base copies. License Plate Backs share their fronts with base cards 1 to 10, so check the back before matching a card. These are sticker cards: look for off-center cuts, corner wear and lifting at the sticker edges. The posters are 5x7 and need a larger holder.

Sources and caveats

Topps' original product page is no longer online. Card numbers, names and plate text follow a Topps checklist issued at launch, cross-checked against secondary checklists; names are shown as Topps listed them (for example Taggin Wagon and JawBreaker). The sale window and the reported print run come from secondary reports. Sketch artists are not listed because Topps published no artist list.
