1982-83 Wrestling All Stars PSA Graded Cards

The Crusher just became a Pop 4 and it has to be a beautiful example. Hopefully it comes to market.

This card took me over seven years to land. Such a tough card.

I only knew Bruiser Brody from the wrestling magazines, for a short stint in World Class on ESPN and then he was dead. As an adult thanks to YouTube I have had the privilege of watching his work and he was absolutely awesome. I am not sure how many I have but it is somewhere around 40 copies. Brody and Kerry Von Erich are either one or two of the wrestler I have the most cards of from the set.

This is a very strong copy of Harley Race.

Pedro Morales is so under rated as a performer. This guy was a huge star and a champion in New York.

I must disagree with you about Pedro. LOL. I realize that I only got to see him at the end of his career, but I always found him to be dreadfully dull. Probably the only guy who made me groan more when I saw him on his way to the ring for a match was Larry Zbyszko. Zbyszko's stalling every match was just unwatchable.

He was very good in the early 70�s. There was a huge Puerto Rican population in New York and the fans at MSG went wild.

I put him in the category of a Dory Funk, or Jack Brisco in that they achieved great success in the wrestling business but very little fan fare for their collectibles.

This card is valuable but primary because it�s a Pop 1 so far.

Oh, I know how popular Pedro was in New York City among the Puerto Rican population and that the WWWF of the 1970s pandered to ethnicities. I still thought he was boring as hell by the early 1980s as Intercontinenal champion LOL.

Ivan Putski and Chief Jay Strongbow were two other guys who were incredibly over among fans of the era, but I was lukewarm about.

I always thought Victor Rivera was the one they should have pushed as an ethnic WWWF Champion to follow Bruno--his work was MUCH better than Pedro and he was way over in the late 60's/early 70's. Never was a big fan of Pedro, though i respect his place in wrestling history. Young Rivera was a high flyer with a great body and charisma....
