After a 9 month break Garbage Pail Kids are back with 2016 Series 2 Garbage Pail Kids Prime Slime Trashy TV set. While the theme is completely different this time around, the construction of the set is almost identical to the 2016 Series 1 GPK American as Apple Pie set. The themed base set continues with a 220 card base set made up of subsets. However, for the first time the entire base set is based on TV shows, there are no “regular” kids this time around. The base cards continue to lack card back artwork, sticker die-cuts, and numbering is on the back. Once again there are no checklist cards for the base set. Production for this set is up a lot on the Retail side, while Hobby/Collector packs remain similar. I will have the usual articles taking a stab at production numbers in a few days. Click here for the official checklist Topps released. Here is what you can find, and where you can find it in 2016 GPK Trashy TV.
