1986 Topps Garbage Pail Kids Series 3 Non-Sport Forum

The OS3 set was the first of a long string of GPK sets to "magically" end up with 88 cards when you factor in the significant variants.  The 6 back variations in the 3rd Series sets perhaps aren't too significant here, but in later series, you actually need to variants to complete the puzzlebacks.  The 3rd series was released in January 1986 and represented the most commonly found "older" cards still out in general circulation when I began collecting GPK in the summer of 1986.  I'm sure these cards only impacted a niche group of people from a particular generation, but during the mid-to-late '80s it seemed like these things were everywhere.  There were always people to trade with.  These stickers were peeled and stuck everywhere.  Then they all seemed to disappear.  I've noticed that GPK is back, with at least 2 series productions each year since 2011, and 7 series production between 2003-2007.  I think they're now here to stay.  Those little 8-9 year olds during the summer of '86 must have found their way back.  I figure the 3rd series is good deal at about $1 per card in an average grade of about VG-EX to EX.  What are your thoughts?   

You certainly peaked my interest....In straightening up my collection, I found an 800 ct box of GPK. Now I never collected them, my wife must have picked these up a garage sale and just got buried with all my other cards. Using the TCDB CL, I id ed at least the breakdown. Series 1-2, I have a nice little pile, Series 3 and 4 I have a lot of them.....I didn't get past #166 yet. They are very interesting, not sure whether to trade, sell or keep??? Thanks, ~BOB~
