2022 Garbage Pail Kids Sapphire Checklist

2022 Garbage Pail Kids Sapphire delivers the classic GPK irreverence in premium Sapphire format. The base set features 50 cards spanning numbers 167-216, showcasing the traditional dual-name format with 'a' and 'b' variations for each number. Notable characters include Mick Dagger/Slayed Slade, Handy Randy/Jordan Nuts, and Iron-Jaw Aaron/Jean Machine. The set includes reinforced chrome versions of select cards, adding metallic twists to fan favorites. The parallel rainbow follows standard Topps Sapphire structure with Gold /50, Orange /25, Black /10, Red /5, and Superfractor 1/1.

What to chase: Collectors should chase the chrome reinforced versions like Reinforced Aaron/Jean Metal Machine and Silver Toothie Ruthie/Glossy Flossie, which offer premium metallic treatments. The rarest pulls are the Superfractor 1/1s and Red /5 parallels of key characters. The dual-name format means each numbered card has two variations, effectively doubling the collecting challenge. Look for the puzzle cards featuring Dee Faced and Handy Randy as special inserts.
