Frank Gotch the King

[jefferyepayne]

A question for WrestlingCardKing ...

I see you have the #1 Frank Gotch set on PSA. Why is he listed under Non-Sports? And why are sooo many of his postcards not considered part of his Master Set?

I'm sure you've dealt with PSA on these issues and I'm wondering what their rationale is.

My best guess is that many postcards do not have information on the company that produced them so there is information lacking on how to label them....I totally understand that.

As for non-sports I think that is pretty silly and at some point you can move over wrestling when it went to "entertainment" but in reality it would just be simpler if they included them in sports. I am going to try and get some different Gotch postcards graded by PSA that have not been graded to date because it should have enough information to do so.....wish me luck.

Yeah. Anybody that thinks what Gotch and Hack were doing at that time was anything like WWF is clueless.

P.S. Good luck getting your PCs graded!

I have three postcards of Frank Gotch that are spares and are graded by PSA. Get a hold of me if you are interested in them....maybe we can trade......

Sent you a PM, King. Here are a few others I've been able to pick up.





Anyone else here attend the NCAA Wrestling Championships each year?

Nice postcards, I have each of those......love the one with him and the car. I used to go to the NCAAs each year but haven't as I got into coaching and directing the association freestyle tournaments in my area so I have not been in a while. You headed to St.Louis this year?

Absolutely. My Dad and I have been there 27 straight years now. It's become our father / son yearly event.

I grew up in PA so am in heaven these days with Penn State doing so well!
