1982-83 Wrestling All Stars PSA Graded Cards

I just self subbed this card. What a beautiful copy. Dick Slater was a tough dude and made Sting beg for mercy in real life.

The two cards I have the most of are Kerry Von Erich and Bruiser Brody. I have somewhere close to 40 copies of the Kerry card.

Centering is always tough on these so a very nice copy.

This guy never amounted to much in professional wrestling but his card is tough. There are five PSA 9's and they are in two hands. I have two and brokensoul6900 has the other three.

I sent this in knowing it would grade an 8 but did so because the front looks almost perfect and it just has a touched corner on the reverse. Not worth much but a super strong 8 and I like to collect the set for eye appeal too.

Here is a link to Jim Cornette explaining the story of Dick Slater putting Sting's in a toilet and flushing over Sting giving Slater's ex girlfriend, Dark Journey, a ride to the next town.

The clip also has the added bonus of Cornette detailing an incident in which he was "shaking like a dog shitting peach seeds" over Slater confronting him about calling the office regarding Slater booking a 30-minute draw against Cornette's Midnight Express.

I came across a 1984 Mid-South Wrestling Calendar which had what very well could have been a cancelled second series of the 1983 Wrestling All Stars cards. Photos of 2 of the cards were used for each of the 12 months plus January 1985 for a total of 26. I scanned each of the pages and had a custom card making source make me a blank-backed set of the 26. The Calendar was produced in 1983 by Pro Wrestling Enterprises just as the Wrestling All Star cards had been previously. Here are scans of the 26 custom cards i had made up for me at my imageevent page (items 10-12):

Those look awesome!!!

I purchased quite a few of the calendars from Wrestle Prints who bought out PWE and they are obviously larger panels.

Did you get more copies printed?

I know a few collectors who have gotten them signed but these would be super cool!

unfortunately the person who did them for me about a year ago has stopped listing his custom cards on ebay and hasn't responded to emails. I think he did a great job--they are crystal clear images (he somehow airbrushed out the calendar holes for hanging as well) and printed them on normal semi-gloss (normal) cardstock. I think he charged me about 50.00 for the set of 26 and i was very pleased. I agree with you, a lot of collectors might enjoy a set of these at (or near) that price.

I would pay $50 in a heartbeat.

I snoozed on a custom set of Mid South Wrestling cards a few months ago and wish I hadn't.

These would be perfect to get signed and submitted to PSA in a blue flip as a trading card.

The only issue I see is if Brian who bought out Norman Keitzer would be okay with it. He owns the rights to it all.

If you saw the custom set on ebay, it was probably from my source. I sent him scans and he made the set for me and I did notice that he posted a few of them on ebay. He just seems to have disappeared
