Topps Garbage Pail Kids First Series 1 Extended Variation 82 Card Matte Set GPK

Description

You're looking at an ULTRA RARE set of Series 1 Garbage Pail Kids 82 Card MATTE BACK EXTENDED VARIATION SET.
What qualifies these as Extended Variation cards is that the A cards have two asterisks ** on the backs and the B cards have one asterisk * on the back.
Both matte and glossy back cards have extended variations, however the matte backs are far more rare even though glossy backs as a whole are rarer.
This is without a doubt the most difficult vintage Garbage Pail Kids set to complete as these variations are extremely hard to come by.
For whatever reason these variations were printed disproportionately to the standard variation matte back cards.
Finding these things in any condition is tough, but finding them unsigned and in NM or better condition is nearly impossible these days.
As you can see from the photos, the majority of these cards are in NM or better conditions and none of the backs of the cards were signed.
It's taken me nearly a decade and easily 5000 hours of diligent searching as well as thousands of dollars spent in order to complete this set.
In all that time I've only seen one other seller put one up for sale, so just buying one at any price is almost impossible.
Below I've provided high definition photos both front and back of every card included within this set. Enjoy browsing!
*Note some of the fronts of the B cards caught some glare from the lighting in the room when I took the photos.
*Also, you may need to slide the bar at the bottom of this section to the right in order to see the B cards in full if they aren't displaying in full already.
Shipping will be free to all destinations within the United States, international sales will be through the global shipping program.
Cards will ship securely in top loaders and penny sleeves.
