     The artwork and character name for the United States Garbage Pail Kids 6th Series card 245b Barbie Q. was used in the United Kingdom Garbage Pail Kids 5th Series for card 201b Barbie Q. and in the United Kingdom Garbage Pail Kids 6th Series for card 245b Barbie Q.
 
Additional Notes
     It takes at least one box from both print waves to put together a complete variation set.
 
     The "Peel Here" arrows located on the front of the cards were larger for the United Kingdom Garbage Pail Kids 5th Series and the United Kingdom Garbage Pail Kids 6th Series.
 
     The checklists from the first print wave were printed with black bars over two of the card numbers and character names (159b Starchy Archie and 186a Doughy Joey).  However, it was still possible to read the card numbers and character names.  The first print wave packs had the wrapper code 0-222-0-7.  The two card numbers and character names were removed from the checklists from the second print wave.  The second print wave packs had the wrapper code 0-222-1-7.
