These Crados boxes... Better pic of them 🇫🇷 I can remember these boxes behind the counter of the café where I used to purchase my Crados packs when I was a kid and how the boss used to plunge his big hand to take a few packs. Yeah, I can remember that as if it happened yesterday... I felt lucky when my parents or grand parents were giving me some money to purchase one or two packs because it was pretty expensive. I didn't even think at the time that it was possible to purchase a full box !

Sure, I’m in! I sent you a PM. Thanks, bud ! We did our best to make them look like used and damaged stickers. There's also some kind of "error" sticker...

Well done, Francesco ! Looks like the French argument made so much noise that even the Italian papers told about it... Have there been a similar argument in Italy ?

Time ago I found a Les crados round pins display. It contains around 80 pins and it is still sealed! (Sorry for the low resolution image, but it is a les "crados" image so it has to be UGLY ) One of those displays sold recently on eBay France. Here’s the link: r.ebay.com/HikKirThis pin display sparked a discussion on the Foreign GPK FB group whether these “Crado” pins are bootleg rather than official (should say Les Crados), but nobody could give a definite answer. Any idea? Hey guys, The thing which could look like a typo ("Crado" instead of "Crados") is actually correct, grammatically speaking. Here, the word is interpreted in the singular number : 1 crado, several crados. The sentence "Touche pas à mon crado" (Don't touch my Garbage Pail Kid) is a pun which is a reference to a slogan from the 80's :
"Touche pas à mon pote" (Don't touch my buddy) is a slogan used in the mid 80's by a French anti-racist association. This famous slogan has been distorted MANY times since then.
I think these badges are no bootlegs and that they were available in France back then. I didn't have these when I was a kid though (just had some Crados pin's).
Hope that it helps !

My condolences. In lieu of flowers, you can send decent artwork to France. It would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Pepé few days ago all of the arts for the calendar were on sale on Ebay(not sure if they still are). Was thinking about your handbook lately. You made with this something way more valuable than the pile of crap described above... Still have it on a shelve...

A calendar should be released in France next month. Pretty hard to find some informations about it... "Les Crados 2018" should contain 28 pages and will be released by Carabas Editions (12 euros) : www.amazon.fr/Crados-2018-Collectif/dp/2351009886/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1509532723&sr=8-2&keywords=calendrier+cradosFrom an unofficial source : it should be some kind of tribute with 13 new characters... This one could be one of these new characters : It looks like another stinky release to make easy money with our nostalgia. This book was already pure sh** : It's just a "copy and paste" from the US edition : they even kept the US series numbering which doesn't make any sense (there were two original French releases and they both mixed cards from series 1 to 9...). Now they make a second release with some bonus cards. Don't make fun of me... I talked about it above (there are no more pics because of Photobucket), the recent magazines were also total crap : Can't you hear the cash register noise ? I'm done with lazy stuff like this, there's no way I still spend money to support these crooks... Someone here in France should take charge to publish something solid which would really reflects what Les Crados were in the 80's.

New French magazine... or "fanzine" I should say (the layout is pretty bad)...
18 removable cards I found three copies in my local press store. 100 000 copies were printed. To my UG friends who collect foreign stuff : don't feed the vultures who already sell some copies at ridiculous prices on eBay ! This fanzine is sold for 4.99 euros and is still available in press stores. I'm going to keep one copy for me. If some of you are interested, I'll send the two others for 4.99 euros + shipping. Just let me know.
