These are some interesting ones from Japan. I'm told they are from 1978 to promote a movie that was in Japan called inside the square jungle. The cards are over sized. They would fit in a regular tall boy holder. If anyone has more info please let me know

These are the 2 from the 1976 yamakatsu set. These cards are smaller than a traditional card similar to the panini cards from the 70s. The set contains 40 cards but the are the only solo Andre cards.

Sorry to say but I do not have one Andre the Giant autograph....I really need a 1982 All Star and probably the only one that I would really want to keep for myself. I'd probably sell any other auto to you! :-)

Here is my best Andre card. I spent a small fortune trying to get one of these.

I have 24 of his Wrestling All Stars card with one PSA 9, six PSA 8's, six PSA 7's, one PSA 8 OC, two PSA 6's and nine raw examples. I bought a number of high grade BGS examples and learned the hard way.

Here are a few more cards.

This is a cool Andre card from the OPC WWF set. This card has terrible centering in most cases and these cards are really hard to find with sharp corners. This is a Pop 1 with none higher.

Here is a beautiful PSA 8. This was a BGS 9 but I would rather have it in a lower PSA holder and graded accurately.

KNAPP · November 9, 2012 10:55AM

That 1985 O-PEE-CHEE is great.

Dpeck100 · November 9, 2012 10:59AM

Thanks. It would most likely be a 10 if it did not have the tilt. I was pretty excited to get this grade when it popped. It came with the submission of my Macho Man 10.

NHLfightguy · November 9, 2012 2:25PM

Great stuff.

Knapp you ever meet Andre in person?

KNAPP · November 9, 2012 9:26PM

Hello, I only saw him wrestler once in the early 80's at a local High School. I was too scared to approach him when he was signing autographs. He was larger than life.

wrestlingcardking · November 10, 2012 12:06AM

Maybe I will just bump the thread where Navarro has his signed wrestling all star of Andre......

KNAPP · November 12, 2012 1:46PM

Andre

wrestlingcardking · November 19, 2012 2:38AM

That purple Andre does not seem to be like the other ones I have seen of him, but I would not call myself an expert on his auto. Just a layman's opinion.....

Dpeck100 · November 27, 2012 9:38PM

Andre The Giant

I missed this one. I have been trying to find this program for a while. It has the original photo used for the Andre The Giant 1982 Wrestling All Stars card.

This is one of the few times Andre actually held a belt.

Goomba78 · November 29, 2012 9:23AM

Awesome stuff guys, this is my lone Andre

baseballfan · November 29, 2012 9:43AM

nice stuff

Dpeck100 · November 29, 2012 9:54AM

Goomba78,

Nice Andre!

Do you own the other PSA 10 Ric Flair?

BaseballThugs · November 29, 2012 10:27AM

This thread is as terrifying as if there was a Topps set depicting the MLB 'FAT UMPIRE' men of the 80's. I just don't just get it. How on earth can there be people in this world in to this stuff, especially collecting it ? Collecting photo cards of Andre The Giant, is quite frankly gross. Heck I guess though, it it indeed more manly than collecting cards of hot Jeter etc.

Reminder: Just an opinion here talking with ya like out on the golf course. (although the wrestling fan has to have a much much more gooshie arse while on the 11th)

Gross. Sick. Andre the Giant is meaningless.

KNAPP · November 29, 2012 10:59AM

Thugs, why are you so angry about wrestling? You mention that Andre is gross (agreed) and that Jeter is hot. What are you trying to say? Put down the haterade. I don't say anything about your 1988 Donruss sets.

wrestlingcardking · November 29, 2012 11:10AM

Under this theory you would not collect cards of Tony Gwynn? You must really hate his 1983 Topps....lol...... I suppose that is why you like 1988 Donruss......perhaps cards of Jeter, Tom Brady, you previously mentioned your projection of Bieber, etc....are more up your alley.......

BaseballThugs · November 29, 2012 11:19AM

Come on guys ? Just talkin trash, again. I don't have any hate or anything, Am just talking with friends, who are in to different things than I. Ya'll got buddies somewhere who rip on things while watching some sporting event correct next to you ? I've noticed on 'message boards' words are handled a lot differently than if spoken next to someone in jest. I have no malcontent here. Actually trying to be friendly.

Your wrestling sucks wangs. I actually do have some 88 Donruss. Unfortunately it's higher in the stack than my GangNam style Hulk Hogen rookie.

Goomba78 · November 29, 2012 11:32AM

<< Goomba78,

Nice Andre!

Do you own the other PSA 10 Ric Flair? >>

Yeah, I got that one awhile back. Do you have the other 3?

Dpeck100 · November 29, 2012 11:41AM

There are only two others and I have both. One got crossed over to a BGS Gem early on by a guy from Ebay TbkBigKahuna. I actually bought my first set of the cards from him.

You are the last person I want to bid against!!!

You have some unreal cards!!!

Glad to see you join the boards and hopefully you post some of your collection.

Dboneesq · November 29, 2012 12:02PM

Goomba (nice stuff btw) and Dave,

Unfortunately these are the only autographed Andre's that I have (LOL)

wrestlingcardking · November 29, 2012 12:04PM

I think we are dying to see a signed 1988 Donruss Andre...........

thenavarro · November 29, 2012 12:04PM

Here's mine. Will trade for one decent ticket to the BCS National Championship college football game

wrestlingcardking · November 29, 2012 12:07PM

LUV that card! OT- Did you get on the group sub and get some other wrestling AS of yours to PSA?

Wish that 1982 Andre was in the PSA article but understand why it could not be! They should have comped you on that one and slabbed it.....

BaseballThugs · November 29, 2012 12:09PM

He was so ughu bugha he signed 'andre the giant'. Do you think it even knew what his last name was ? Does anyone here know who took the money from his 'name' ?

Goomba78 · November 29, 2012 12:11PM

Thanks man. My wrestling stuff still doesn't come close to your 82 set. Nice write-up in SMR

>>

Rob,

No, I wasn't paying attention and missed the deadline. If you want I can send them to you and you can send em on your next group batch to see if they get better grades then the ones you have and if they work out right we could do some trading. I don't mind paying the sub fees if it's on one of johns deals. I have so MANY cards that I need to send in, but i don't ever take time and attention away from buying new ones to take the time to get it done

You coming no matter what or only if you get a ticket? Its Miami...shouldnt be too difficult really.

wrestlingcardking · December 2, 2012 9:53AM

I'll find you one mid-way through the first quarter Mike!

Dpeck100 · December 2, 2012 10:03AM

Knapp someone else likes the cut cards. You sold a PSA 9 Andre for $1,500.

KNAPP · December 2, 2012 10:10AM

That's true. The guy who I sold it to only buys rookie cards. He's a nice guy and pays quick. I also sold him a 1962 Clay SGC 9.

I'm coming to Miami irregardless of whether I score a game ticket before or not. Worst case scenario I'll be tailgating in the parking lot the whole game

wrestlingcardking · February 8, 2013 11:58PM

He said he got that one personally in 1987-88

Dpeck100 · February 8, 2013 11:59PM

The card looks pretty nice too!

wrestlingcardking · February 9, 2013 12:13AM

Yes, I think this is the best one I have seen signed from this set to date of Andre.
