Alexander Karelin
Just showing off one of my favorite cards. His only issue, I believe. 2 PSA 9s, 1 PSA 10. Arguably the most dominant athlete ever -- he went a decade without giving up even a single point. I guess Olympic wrestlers don't get the hobby love that the entertainers get, but whatever.
PS despite appearances Karelin was an intellectual, an accomplished chess player and devotee of the arts.

Karelin
One of my dream cards to get autographed. I take it with me when I go to international events just in case! I have this in PSA 9 right now and one at PSA and I believe I still have a raw somewhere.

Karelin is also on this Grolier card featuring the remarkable loss to Rulon Gardner, although the card names only Gardner.
