Looks like McGraw died in 1985. I have seen a few of his matches but now it makes sense why I don't recall any after the mid 80's.

I love when the wrestlers tell the stories but it seems even when they break kayfabe some times it is total BS.

Some of the ribs I have read about over the years are just crazy.

I had kind of forgotten just how close together McGraw's match with Piper was to McGraw's death. In 1985, I was in sixth grade. I can confirm that the "Piper killed him" speculation was everywhere among fans at the time.

I always liked Ricky Steamboat. Awesome wrestler and had a great physique.

Got to meet him probably six years ago and he was really cool. This card is very tough. I have a single listed on eBay and it is intersting that it has 18 watchers.

Man the prices of raw Wrestling All Stars have been incredibly strong of late. I honestly don't even know how to price them when I get inquiries directly from people. Very exciting to see and I sure hope it continues!

It is hit or miss on raw cards. Top stars are doing very well. Some cards are just a play on hoping for top condition for grading.

If there is an upswing in pricing, it is most likely because sealed/unopened sets are getting very scarce to come by.

I have been getting interest from some collectors for raw cards to get signed.

The guys that are still alive and doing the conventions are getting increased interest.

The Jerry Lawler card has been off the charts. A PSA 6 just went for $77. A Kerry Von Erich PSA 8 went for $227.50. Big prices for these too.

One of the primary reasons I buy multiples of cards that I already have in the same grade is to make sure I have the best eye appeal I can find. This card is beautiful. My first copy in a PSA 9 was the last time I upgraded my 1982 Wrestling All Stars Series A set and that was just over a year and a half ago. I will need to study both and see which I like better for inclusion in my #1 set but very pleased none the less with this copy.
