2022 Topps Garbage Pail Kids: Book Worms Checklist and Details
In recent years there have been sets devoted to music and all things horror. Now, the Garbage Pail Kids are putting their mark on literature. 2022 Topps Garbage Pail Kids: Book Worms delves into the classics with their own brand of gross-out gags and satire.
Available with both hobby and hobby collector configurations, each box type has the same main set but different levels of inserts.

I have all the original garage pail kids cards from the 80’s I found in my old school box I saved from when I was a kid. How much are they worth?
The price guide can be accessed at the link in the top menu of this page.
Hello, what would be the best box edition. The hobby or collectors edition. Looking for the better variety
Thanks
@Jason – Collector boxes have more inserts and parallels.
how many cards total come in the hobby boxes?
There’s a breakdown in the article’s “at a glance” section.
I have an original complete series 1 of glossy garbage pail kids graded 9s by psa . How can I figure out a fair price on this ?
