1986 GIANT Garbage Pail Kids BACK 4-Color Mask Negative

[seymourbarf]

I bought this item recently from the Topps Vault, and am thinking of selling it on eBay (it was an impulse buy and I'm not madly in love with it):

www.ebay.com/itm/1986-GIANT-Garbage-Pail-Kids-BACK-4-Color-Mask-Negative-Ailin-Al/192414691961?hash=item2ccccf3279:g:ikAAAOSwnCFaSZ9T

For those that can't access the link, it's the 1986 GIANT Garbage Pail Kids BACK 4-Color Mask Negative. Ailin' Al. It's still in great condition and has its CoA. I didn't even take it out of the plastic it came in.

Before I list it on eBay, I thought I'd see if anyone here wanted to trade for it. I'm interested in original series memorabilia, proofs, PSA cards, 1 of a kind items, etc.

I value my Ailin' Al negative at what I paid for it, which was around $30. I'd be looking for an item of similar value in return. Or the original, final artwork for Nasty Nick if anyone wants to trade me that!

Shoot me a private message if you're interested. If not, I'll probably end up listing this thing on eBay in about a week.

Thanks!

Missed out again!! I have a few nice finals, nothing worth that much. If only I owned that Nasty Nick final.

What about your own artistic rendering of one of your finals?

It's not the negative back to Ailin' Al Topps messed that one up.
Giant OS1 cards backs were all different than the backs of the regular OS1 series backs
except for #1 Nasty Nick plus the fact that Boozin' Bruce and Wacky Jackie never made it into Giant OS1 cards

Well how do you like that? I took a look and bok071 is right. Topps did indeed misrepresent this negative in their eBay listing. This isn't the negative back to giant Ailin' Al. It is actually the negative back to giant Fryin' Brian. 

Luckily, the CoA doesn't identify the negative (it just identifies the item number on the back of the negative). So Topps' mistake in their eBay listing doesn't affect the value of the negative. 

I am still interested in any trade offers.

For Nasty Nick it didn't but ones bidding on Adam Bomb were in for a surprise.
Think many are in for a surprise once they realize the favorite characters Giant OS1 back is not the one from negative they bought

I imagine most people will be pissed! I wasn't looking for a specific character's back (I just wanted a cheaper one), so I don't mind so much.

I ended up not listing this on eBay. Instead, Topps agreed to refund my money and I sent it back to them. They also told me that the guy who bought the actual Ailin' Al back also returned his (I'm not sure which back he thought he was buying).
