The majority of the other early series aren't worth nearly as much as the first, but some of the rarer sets can still bring in a decent amount of money. The price is mostly dependent on the condition of the cards, but there are other factors as well, such as whether they are matte or glossy. A full set of series 1-15 sold for well over $1,000, but a completed series 1 alone went for over $1,000 as well. Series 1 cards are the most valuable, with complete sets listed upwards of $300. Unopened packs seem to continuously sell for over $100. Cards from other countries are in demand as well. Like with other collectibles, error cards are rare, so they go for more money. Also from the first series, a gem mint (the highest grade) “Evil Eddie” actually sold for $2,224, while his ungraded counterpart, “Nasty Nick”, went for over $90, despite being in poor condition. A graded mint “Adam Bomb” went for as much as $470, but even an ungraded one in good condition sold for $175. Much like comics, professionally graded cards go for more. Two versions of each card were made with the same artwork, but different character names, such as “Adam Bomb” and “Blasted Billy” - those being some of the most sought after cards from the original series. So, what is the actual value of Garbage Pail Kids cards? Well, like most collector’s items, the prices that owners hope to sell them for on eBay are often higher than the amount of money that most people are willing to pay, though there are exceptions.
