Box

Here is probably one of two Holy Grails for Series 2 collectors, the Box. The box is very different from its Series 1 predecessor, for starters the only character shown on the box is Adam Bomb. This time rather than being surrounded by trash bags there are garbage cans instead with the garbage candy coming from them. The bag count is listed the same with 24 bags and the weight is listed as 264g. The language is listed in both English and French with P'titts Choux De Poubelles Jouets Minables Avec Bobon D' echets Et 1 Jouet listed on front side and left side and the English words Garbage Pail Kids Cheap Toys with Garbage Candy Plus 1 Toy on the back side and right side. There is a big red star with the English words 'All New 2nd Series' which can be found and the top, right side and back side, on the left side and front side this is in French with the words 'Toute Nouvelle Serie'.

Only two of these are known to exsist, the one pictured is owned by Griswold and is the nearest to pefect condition of the two. The other is owned by Max Russel but is missing the lid although the sides and the back look to be in slightly better shape. The latter is for sale on Ebay now with a BIN price of $599.95 although this is way over priced due to the condition and missing lid. It is unknown what price a box would fetch if a perfect condition example was discovered or if there are actually any more in exsistance ? The complete box owned by Griswold was in fact full of sealed bags when purchased in Canada although all have since been opened.
