The Most Valuable Collectors' Items in History

95. “Adam Bomb” Garbage Pail Kids' Card

Manufacturer: Topps
Original price: 8 dollars* per package
Current value: 3,000 dollars*

Nasty Nick is a Garbage Pail Kids dude, but right behind him is Adam Bomb. The 1985 Adam Bomb # 6a is worth US $ 3,000 today in mint condition. Made by Topps, the Cabbage Patch parody was one of several trading card figures that portrayed evil children.

Adam Bomba portrayed a boy in a blue suit with his head exploding as he pressed a button – no doubt a play on the “Atomic Bomb”. One auction house blamed “uncontrolled 80s nostalgia” for the high sale price of these cards. Most junk card sales are made on eBay.
