1982-83 Wrestling All Stars PSA Graded Cards

[scott6649]

Hey gang. I tried my hand at what the "next" series of cards might have looked like. Still finishing up the backs, but these are the fronts. I think I got everybody that I should have.. Any exclusions? Anyone there that shouldn't be? I'm going on the presumption that these would have been issued in 1984.

Well done, but just wondering why you added Putski and Morales when they already had cards in the series?

[wrestlingcardking]

I do think there should have been a Roddy Piper in the series........

[scott6649]

Don't know how I missed that one. Or that the other two were already in there. Thanks!

Perhaps a David Shultz? Dr. D would be the other name......he doesnt have much for trading cards......

The original Sheik, Steve Williams, Magnum TA, the original Mr. Wrestling, and Buddy Roberts would be awesome additions as well.

Magnum TA. Thats a good one. I guess it's all in how deep you want to dig. A second series could certainly be doable.

The last Bruno 9 went for more in a straight auction but nice to see this copy last less than 24 hours on EBAY.

I have always thought that the Bruno card was undervalued and deserved more attention.

I went and checked my registry and was pleasantly surprised. I forgot if I had two or three and it's three!

The only 10 was self subbed by me so definitely a favorite.

First of all, a big thank you to the a**holes over at PhotoBucket for ruining this thread (and millions of others).

I was born in 83' and started watching WWF towards the end of that decade, however, I was too small to understand and appreciate it. That didn't start until I was around 9 years old. The first wrestler to drive me nuts was the 1-2-3 Kid. I read in a magazine that he was a Tae Kwon Do expert and I was also enrolled in martial arts classes at that time. There were many other ways I identified with him.

Now I have always been interested in wrestling cards, but have never made any moves. Unfortunately, the cards manufactured in the 90s aren't worth sh*t, so I'm not going to waste my time going after them. I am leaning towards buying the 82' Wrestling All-Stars set, especially because I want the rookie cards of Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan, but there are a few things that are bothering me: it looks to me as if these cards aren't really going anywhere price-wise. For example, the Hogan in PSA 9, which is probably the most popular wrestling card out there, has been stuck in the 2000 - 2500 range over the past few years. Compare that to PSA 9s of popular athletes from other sports; these cards have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled in value. Another issue is that most of the wrestlers featured in this set are people that I have never even heard of.

Anyhow, I will keep my eyes open and when the right time comes I'll pull the trigger.

Stormy weather today in Orlando.

Spent some time looking through my cards and wanted to know the exact amount of Andre’s I own.

18 ranging from PSA 6 to PSA 9.

Edit: No clue why the pic is posting sideways. Posting from my phone.

RIP Bruno. A true wrestling legend.
