  • What is happening on eBay right now with 1985 OS1 Garbage Pail Kids is crazy.... Not to mention there's no guarantee of even pulling nice cards.

    Back in 1985, my mom threw mine out because they were gross. I must have been 6 or something. I was so pissed off. Back in the day, if you brought these cards to school, you were the coolest kid.

    Plus $420 for shipping. That guy can KEEP his box. What you wanna do is grab a few Sapphire and let them SIT.

    This is the saddest opening I’ve ever seen. A year ago plus I bought a full set of the OS1 series and was shocked at how expensive upgrade cards have gotten. I’m also so sad I didn’t just buy a box back then to enjoy opening them because the videos of people doing that not of you look like they’re having fun flashing back to their childhoods.

    I wish I still had my original set because I was born in 1984 so I experienced GPKs original run but I lost a majority during so many moves over the years but I wouldn't try to collect them again at this point

      @@MisterKimble same here, I managed to salvage a few from my childhood but that's it I only prioritize and when I see my favorite ones I'll purchase them that way but other than that they're not a must have on my list
      I just really miss that sticker album my late grandmother had gave to me when I was 10 but that's outrageously pricey as well and most of the ones I've seen are used the one I had was practically brand new and my grandmother only paid $1.00 for it.

    It's not unusual for the gum to stick to the very first card after 35+ years....BUT this mess looks like something more. This looks like somebody improperly stored these for a long time, likely somewhere it was way too hot. Like a Florida attic. Very unfortunate indeed. I feel for you.

    Ahhh man 😭I bought 3 packs, a little luckier but my blasted billy was the gum card 😥I bought these in the uk in the 80s but didn’t understand back then to keep them in good nick. Then the mum lost everything in storage 😭 I wish I’d thought about os1 in 2017 when I was buying up chrome 1. Didn’t even think to look. Did you know what the price was for os1/2 packs was in 2017?

    • @MisterKimble
      @MisterKimble  Před 3 lety +2

      To give you a perspective on prices nowadays. In 2011, I bought an OS3 box for 50 dollars, and OS4 for 25 dollars, and an OS7 for 17 dollars. I remember OS1 boxes were around $1200 at the time and I thought that was too high. OS2 were around $250ish. I remember seeing OS1 boxes for 1-2k last year, and OS2 for around 300. I should have pulled the trigger but oh well.

      @@MisterKimble ahhh man that’s sad to hear but awesome to know. I bid on an os7 bbcexchange with poster for $240 including the p&p. I figured it was worth getting because of Adam boom. Will be interesting how that goes in the future. I feel the prices of os go up based on the chrome counterpart. Like os3 is going up now that chrome 3 is coming out. I really hope chrome 4 comes out next year :-D

      @@MisterKimble I think 4, 5 would be on the cards. Maybe up to 7. But for me Chrome means a chance to collect the Originals but with the slight difference of being shiny. I think this is why they are so big at the moment. We're all a load of Magpie's :-D
