I'm not really even a fan of wrestling, but these cards are just awesome!

Thanks for taking the time to check them out. I realize a lot of people aren't big wrestling fans but they are super cool cards and have a very unique story behind them. I love the simplicity of the design and they did a nice job on the bio's on the back. The photos used date as far back as 1973 so there are a few cards like the Bruiser Brody where in 1982 he didn't look anything like the picture that was used for the card but it is neat to find the magazines or programs that date back much further then when the cards were distributed.

(usually don't covet much fellas, but this is a cool one)

Hi Dpeck100,

Awesome collection. To summarize, I was once heavily into pro wrestling, more specifically on the independent level. But that is a different story for a different day. Of all your cards I most like the one of my all-time favorite Bob Backlund. Very cool and in such great condition.

Best,
John

Thanks for checking out the cards. I recently scanned all of the fronts and backs for PSA and here are the scans of the Backlund card. I love watching his old matches from the Garden. Man he was strong!

Hi Dpeck100,

Agreed, Bob’s conditioning and strength are beyond amazing. I’ve had the chance to know him since the early 1990’s. He keeps in great shape, even to this day. In case you might not be aware, he has an autobiography that was released last year.

Quick card question. Might you know how many PSA 10 cards there are of Backlund, and what the estimated value might be?

Best,
John

The Bob Backlund is a Pop 2 in a PSA 10.

I am in this one which was the first to hit for $650. The second one came out and at auction went for $441.
