im only 27 so me even knowing about gpk is a long shot because in 1985 i was 1 years old. it was 1991 and my friend and i went to the swap meet and some guy had series 11 and 14 wax boxes full of packs. i bought a couple packs of series 11 and a couple of series 14 he was charging .50 a pack and my dad gave me $5 every week. those 2 sets are seriously overlook and at the time i thought thats how gpk looked so i didnt think they looked bad
i was hooked on gpk at that point and me and my friend traded cards and that summer i went back to buy packs of series 11-15 every week
my brother would like to steal my cards so my friend and i combined our cards and he moved away. i really didnt speak to him after he moved and the only card i had left was bomb shelly. i recently contacted him about the cards and he said a roommate had stolen them all
after that summer of buying packs i would always look for gpk and some years i wouldnt find any and 1 year someone was selling series 2 cards for $3 each by this time i was OBSESSED with the gpk movie (i would rent the vhs every week until they didnt have it nymore)
the guy had messie tessy and greaser greg cards which i bought and still have in my collection
so what got me hooked was series 11/14 all cards and all the movie characters

The first time I saw them was OS2. I think the colours of certain cards hooked me - Charred Chad, Live Mike, Mad Max. Then I saw OS1 my friend had stuck to his wardrobe & I saw Adam Bomb for the first time. I thought he was just on the packaging! I was in awe! Then when I saw Dead Ted - I was hooked for life. OS1 & 2 all the way. The fact that JP was under pressure to produce the art in such a tight deadline doesn't show in the quality. One of my favourite little nuances of OS1 are the still visible pencil lines on some of the cards! awesome

It would have to be adam bomb/blasted billy and jolted joel/live mike. I just thought they were awesome and those are still my two favs. I remember buying my first cards in kaybee toy store in the first grade. It was a triple pack and I think series 2 and 3 cards were in it or i bought both series 2 and 3 cards because when I started collecting they were both in stores and i even found some series 1s. I thought hot head harvey was awesome and he is the first card i remember owning as he was on the front of my triple pack and I picked the pack because he was on it. I also remember taking those cards to school and trading away with friends. I was trying to get every series 1, 2, and 3 cards at the time and would buy as many as i could with my allowance. I even remember getting GPK packs for xmas from my parents. I guess they were happy i was reading the names and backs of cards or something. Not sure why they let me get them because i had friends whose parents did not. Anyway, that how I started. I collected until series 11 or 12. Series 10 was a turn off and they were coming out with too many series too fast so I couldnt keep up.

I was in 5th grade started to see alot of 1st series cards playing on the blacktop at school. I remember seeing Wacky Jacky and really liking it but I was into breakdancing and graffiti at the time and wanted to see a GPK spraying graffiti. And what do you know the next day at school I saw for the first time Graffiti Petey!.
So then I told my parents I wanted GPK and was only expecting like 8 packs. Well my bro and dad came home from the card shop with a whole box for me BUT it was 2nd series.. still I was in heaven! a whole box of GPK... a pirates treasure for a kid..

the card that got me hooked was GRIM JIM. I remember a friend of mine brought some
to school one day back in elementary school and I thought they were the coolest things
ever !!! we used to get in trouble for trading them during class. I remember they caused
a lot of problems in the school. It was awesome !!! the first one I ever saw was
SPIKEY MIKEY though

Adam Bomb and Joe Blow.... Joe Blow is just one of those cards that hits me. It is all yellow, and it's the first card in the 3rd series, and it just grabs my attention. I think of the US and I think of Bazooka gum and yellow Bel Aire cabs from the 60s. Adam Bomb self-detonates his head and there is a mushroom cloud emanating from the blast zone... call it boring, but it is the one card IMO that GPK as a brand leaves in the mind, but not in his!

Id have to say Greaser Greg & Dead Ted, I can remember paying $.25 a pack when I was 5. I would clean my room for a dollar and get 4 packs a week.

I wold go around town on my bike looking for change on the ground so I could buy some baseball cads.
One day after I gotten the change together I went to the gas station to get a pack and I saw the OS1 box next to the baseball cards I picked up a pack of them instead because I thought Adam bomb looked so cool and once I saw them I was hooked.
I had my dad take me to a card shoppe and sold all my baseball cards and got GPK. I remember the guy and the shoppe trying to talk me out of it lol

I remember the guy and the shoppe trying to talk me out of it lol Yea that was the big thing in the 80s - baseball cards are like an investment lol. At least thats what i thought as an 8 yr old. Little did I know that my sealed baseball cards would be worth about $7 a set and a OS1 GPK would go for a few hundred. No one would have thought it. Now I get the feeling about all the new series - people believe they are an investment. |

I remember the first time I laid eyes on some GPK, come to think about it I can't even believe that I remember that far back, I was in second grade! I do remember vividly my friend from daycare had a stack and when he showed me the cards I just had to have some. Yes they were the first series, I had a bunch of cousins in the same daycare so I remember that when we all laid eyes on them we thought they were the coolest thing since marbles( I was a big marble player as a kid)!
I have a lot of family in the military so the one that really stood out was Mean Gene so I guess you can say Mean Gene was the first GPK that hooked me, I also want to add that Adam Bomb was my favorite as a kid by far! After that day I would trade candy for cards and what ever money I could scrounge up I would purchase GPK. Then after the 10th series I stopped at the moment I can't remember why but I'm sure it had something to with football cards.

The first GPK that caught my eye must have been Adam Bomb of course as he was on the box when I first saw the addiction waaaay back in 86 when a girl took a whole box full to school, I don't remember why but she gave us all some extra cards she had so the first card I really loved has to be Potty Scotty as he was the one she gave me.

It was the characters from 3rd Series when I first seen some classmates looking at them. I remember Joe Blow/Rod Wad and others. It must have been Hothead Harvey/Roy Bot that really interested me since Transformers was really popular. I think the consensus was that he was a Decepticon because of the pieces on the back of his head which resembled Starscream. I remember telling the others that it looks like the red Autobot insignia on his shoulders. It turns out he was neither.
Characters like US Arnie/Snooty Sam, Alice Island/Liberty Libby, Rappin Ron/Ray Gun really made it clear to me of their rebellious nature even though I was too young. I was really into drawing and art as a kid and the early GPKs always kept me interested.
I can't remember which ones were the first ones I bought and opened from a package probably because I already had a number given to me from others (probably their duplicates or unwanted ones). I would also ask friends if they were willing to part with their old ones stuck to their folders. (It didn't seem to bother me that they were old, stuck on and had no backs. It did bother me when they were written or scribbled on.) This was my introduction to the earlier 1st and 2nd Series which were seen as the elusive and highly sought after rare stickers. I remember my brother getting a Charred Chad from one our neighbors and being excited. I then got Dollar Bill, Nutty Nicole, Hairy Gary and others from a new friend when I transferred schools.
Aw man, good times.

Adam Bomb, of course.
What excited me the most about collecting GPK all those years ago with OS3 is opening the pack and finding cards that I didn't have yet. To this day, that is what drives me.
Also, getting that elusive card to complete my set is a feeling I will never forget. In BNS2, that card for me was Lin Berger... argh!!

The first card I ever saw was Mona Loser or Phoney Lisa, I can't be sure which it was because I saw it from a distance. I remember being so taken by the awesome quality of the artwork! I wanted to see more! I bought my first pack on the way to my grandparents a day or so later. I remember I got Dirty Harry and Tommy Gun in that first pack, I can't remember the third card though.
Do you remember in those days of school yard swapping that there was always a few GPKs in the series that were tougher to get than the rest? In the 2nd series I remember that Ventilated Vinnie and Ugh Lee were tough, but Matt Ratt was the card that everyone was after!
Another quick question, but does anyone know why the word rat in Matt Ratt has two Ts?

It could be an oversight or maybe someone thought that the band "Ratt" was awesome.
In any case, I was hooked on the third series which came out when I was in the first grade. My parents wouldn't allow me to have any, but I remember seeing GPKs like Apple Cory, KO'd Cody and Ali Gator and being amazed. I ended up "borrowing" a stack from a kid at school. I've still got the belt marks on my ass from that one. My dad ended up buying me a few packs of series 4 several months late for reasons I still don't know.
