1982-83 Wrestling All Stars PSA Graded Cards

This is going to be a fun auction to follow. Very curious to see how it does. It has been a while since one of the PSA 10 Flair's has come for sale.

I have been active on Twitter over the past few months and have found out some interesting information.

Famed wrestling photographer George Napolatino took a good number of the photographs used for the cards of the wrestlers who wrestled in the North East or made big appearances there.

I tweeted a photo of his card to Dutch Mantel and he ended up contacting me and we discussed his card and he never was paid for it or even knew it existed for awhile. He isn't happy that he never gave consent or got any cash. He also is hip to collectors getting the cards signed and will no longer sign them at his regular fee.

There is a lot of great wrestling content on Twitter so it is pretty cool to participate.

David - that was a strong price for the Flair. At least to someone that doesn't specialize in this stuff like me.

Curious to know your thoughts on the final price of it.

The consignor had $2,525 in it.

Long term I think the buyer wins.

It has been a while since I purchased a set of the 1982 A. I saw this one pop up on Sunday and initially sent a lower offer but after about a half an hour of looking at them and no response I just the hell with it and hit the BIN.

The seller is from Allentown, PA where the WWF did their TV taping's at this time and it wouldn't surprise me if this set came from an original owner who got one from the mail away in the programs.

I am really hopeful the seller sends them in top loaders or card savers. The centering on many are too low to grade but a handful in this lot look like they have great potential. I am very curious to see what the Andre looks like because in the pic it looks like it is NM or higher.

Once I get them I will update and post some scans.

I tracked down my mailman Mike this morning and signed for my package.

It came in a big box so I assumed they were shipped protected in top loaders or card savers. The seller mailed them in a team bag inside of a small box and thankfully they arrived in great shape. I was a little nervous about how they would be shipped and even more so when I opened the box but no problems.

This is a beautiful set and they look like someone must have ordered them in 1982 and left them sitting in a safe place. I got them all in card savers and had to race out of the house and I am anxious to study them further tonight and get some scans of the better cards.

A good number of these are definitely heading to PSA.

Here is the Andre
