Sept. 24, 2016 Ed. Note.  Topps, the leading sports and entertainment trading card company, rolled out series of Garbage Pail Kids Presidential Candidate Cards as the 2016 presidential campaign progressed.  Some of the illustrations are quite clever.

GARBAGE PAIL KIDS GETTING READY FOR THE IOWA CAUCUS

Garbage Pail Kids like to poke fun, make jokes and parody everything and anything. This year’s presidential candidates are no exception.

The newest release, which comes out today – Garbage Pail Kids: American as Apple Pie In Your Face – celebrates the history of the U.S., and parodying uniquely American things. One subset that is sure to stand out is the five-sticker collection of the Presidential Candidates featuring Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, Jeb Bush and Ben Carson.

The Sanders, Trump and Carson stickers are re-creates of former cards. Carson, a brain surgeon, is a new painting of the old “Mad Max” sticker as he takes a look at his own brain. The Sanders card is an updated version of “Warrin’ Warren,” which is similar to “Mean Gene” from the First Series.

The Garbage Pail Kids: American as Apple Pie In Your Face cards can be found in hobby shops and mass retailers such as WalMart and Target.

The original “Donald Dump” sticker appeared in the All-New Series 3, which released in August 2004. The new GPK set includes an updated version of the sticker.

The Clinton and Bush cards are original pieces of artwork – where the jokes speak for themselves.

Garbage Pail Kids: American as Apple Pie In Your Face includes more than 100 new stickers for GPK fans to collect and trade.

With the Iowa Caucus slated for Monday, Garbage Pail Kids will have special cards ready for fans.

The five Presidential Candidate cards that are found in Garbage Pail Kids: As American as Apple Pie will have specially made cards for the event - an Iowa Caucus parallel, but with a twist.

The cards of Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Jeb Bush, and Ben Carson will be on sale on Topps.com for a limited time (up to 24 hours). The number of Presidential Candidate GPK Iowa Caucus parallel cards that are sold in that time is the number of cards that will be made – no more, no less.

So if 50 Donald Trump parody stickers sell, just 50 will be made.

Get ready for the sale, and check out Topps.com as they go up on the site on Monday. Check out the gallery below of the five Presidential Candidate stickers found in GPK: American as Apple Pie in Your Face.
