    From what I can tell most of the tickets from Wrestlemania that exist are proof tickets and aren't really ones issued for the event. Am I wrong?

    The Japanese tickets are awesome! I have never seen this one and it is no wonder Hogan went on to such super stardom.

    For some reason tickets from the first WrestleMania just don't show up. There are a few proof tickets floating around. Even though the proof tickets look so much better, I would rather have an event issued one.

    It's embarrassing looking at that ticket that I have no real sense of what 201cm and 140kg means. I think it's pretty big, and I know I can look it up, but I have no sense of the size.

    Very cool. That last Japanese ticket has Mr Wonderful Paul Orndorff on it as well.

    It's from 1983 or earlier - Tiger Mask left New Japan in 1983.

    Cool tickets. Interesting that PSA notes the Andre slam match rather than the main event. I agree. The event used ticket is way better than the proof imo. I wish I held on to the war to settle the score and wrestle mania 3 stubs I used to have. These are great

    Eagles - I started an Andre the Giant ticket collection, so I requested PSA to annotate Andre slam match. I just sent in a War to Settle the score stub to get slabbed.

    Nice. I have never seen any wrestle mania 2 stubs from any of the locations. All 3 locations would be a cool set. I think the hogan match and the battle royal were 2 of the main events. Can’t remember the 3rd
