1982-83 Wrestling All Stars PSA Graded Cards

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.

Thanks for checking out the thread and the comment.

The Andre card is a great one!

It pictures him winning the NWA Tri State Tag Team titles with Dusty Rhodes from the Super Dome Wrestling Spectacular Show on December 25th 1978.

Andre was really in his prime at the time.

Here is the full pic.

Here it is in a Wrestling News publication where they took their photos and used them for the trading cards sets they made.

Was glad to find this thread. For the last four years or so, I've only collected pre-war cards. Big wrestling fan and decided to try my hand at collecting some high grade first cards of wrestlers, including modern ones.

Also want to put together a fully-graded PSA 1982 and 1983 Wrestling All-Stars set. I started with a few today and somehow wound up with 16 so I went a little overboard. Bought mostly 7s and 8s but got a 9 or two.

I'd love to get an Andre the Giant and am going back and forth between his 1973 magazine cutout and one of the 1974 Yamakatsus. I personally think the cutouts aren't really cards (even the magazine calls them 'wallet-sized photos' as opposed to trading cards, which they did for the larger ones in 1981, ironically). But I am surprised at how well the cutouts have been doing and they do seem to be respected as 'cards.' I'm a little torn because I'd like Andre's first real card but, man, I'm hard-pressed to call the cutouts cards.

I got the 1973 annual Andre the Giant in a PSA 10 and I also have the 1974 Yamakatsu Andre the Giants in PSA and those are the first pack issued cards. Good luck on whatever you decide. I may be selling what you are looking at.

i probably have some graded all stars that you may need as well. Not looking for too much for them, I just upgraded over time with them.
