One of the most recognizable cards from the set that changed non-sports collecting forever. This 1985 Topps Garbage Pail Kids "Blasted Billy" #8b Checklist is an authentic Series 1 First Print Matte Back, making it one of the earliest and most desirable printings from the original Garbage Pail Kids release.
Released in 1985, Series 1 launched the Garbage Pail Kids phenomenon, parodying the wildly popular Cabbage Patch Kids and creating a cultural sensation that remains highly collectible today.
The Matte Back First Print is the most sought-after printing among serious GPK collectors, while the "a" and "b" naming variations have become essential pieces for complete master sets. As both a Checklist card and a First Print, Blasted Billy #8b holds a special place within the original release.
