Number seventeen in my personal collection, and easily the grossest: Begrudged Judge, card #4b from 2022 Topps Garbage Pail Kids x MLB Series 2, the Rainbow Foil parallel numbered to 250, graded a 10 Gem Mint by TAG.
The card
Garbage Pail Kids are the gross-out sticker cards from the '80s, and Topps teamed them up with MLB for a few series sold on Topps.com. Series 2 was all drawn by artist Alex Pardee. Begrudged Judge is a Garbage Pail Kid in a Yankees helmet and road grays, melting and dripping while he points to the sky, under the classic GARBAGE PAIL KIDS banner. The Rainbow Foil version has a shiny border and is serial numbered to 250. Mine is 182/250.
Why it matters
It's a goofy one, but it's a Judge, it's numbered, and it's a perfect 10. Every Judge collection needs something that doesn't take itself seriously.
The grade
TAG grades with computer imaging and posts a full report for every card, with close-ups of the corners, edges and surface. This one came back a 10 Gem Mint with no flaws flagged anywhere, and the front centering is nearly perfect at 51/49 left to right. As of October 2026 it's the only copy of this card TAG has graded, so it's the highest-graded one there is. You can see the whole report at my.taggrading.com.
