    If you look and see 5's and 6's, these are cards with surface wrinkles that I must have missed. That right there proves that many sold over EBAY are EX or EX-MT at best as I have been saying. Most likely they are 4's a lot of times.

    I narrowed it down from over 700, many are 5's and 6's for sure. These were the best of the best from my large raw collection of 82 A and 82 B. I will do an 83 A soon when another special runs. I have very pleased with these results!

    I am pumped to get an Iron Sheik 10! I have a BGS 9.5 as well, I was convinced I had an Iron Sheik 10 in this batch.


    The few other 10's are not a surpise as well. What is a surprise is the Ted DIbiase 5, Greg Valentine 5, Col Buck Robley 5, Don Muraco 5, the Dino Bravo 6, The Iron Sheik 6 and the Dory Funk 6.


    This is why getting cards graded makes them sell for so much more. All of the cards I submitted would pass the smell test. They would look great in scans and look great in card savers. Under the microskope the small details come out.

    I am actually happy to get some of these low grades becuase it makes it even more clear that getting these in true high grade is not easy.

    In my collection that Don Muraco in a 5 would be fine. image

    I think the slightly odd size on these is also a factor in damage that has occurred over the years plus factor in that for many years no one gave a crap about these wrestling cards so who knows how they've been stored/handled.

    Barf you are right. The amount of these out there in high grade is really low. I am not talking my book but simply confirming what I have said the whole time. They are really tough in high grade.


    I have a few I will be targeting to improve my collection.

  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Good luck if you do. There will be cards you know will grade high and others that you will be surprised hat graded much lower but overall I feel like the process was fair and my cards were graded with integrity.


    Those are the two things I am looking for when cards get graded.

    DPeck-

    FYI- If you put in your 8's into the registry over your 9(OC) cards you will have a better set registry score. The qualifier is a -2.

    Thanks for the heads up!! I am not even certain why they do qualifiers.
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I just added the second set as well so now both complete graded sets of 82 A are on there in 8 or better.
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    In a few weeks I will be able to add my 82 B, they don't have it set up yet in the system. I was pleased to see a set in EX sell for $198 for the series B.

    That is why snipers lose with these. These cards were EX at best, the dude went on the stupidest rant ever about wrestling cards, the pictures were brutal and he refused to mention the grade on individual cards.


    And the set sold for $198, I was winning at $60 bucks and never changed my bid. With less then an hour to go it jumps to $76 and then bam on the close $198. Sorry I don't bid this way on cards like this. Over time it will become more clear that snipping on these is an emotional bid.

    Oh you mean this rant. image

    In 1982-83 there were 3 sets of Wrestling All Stars cards produced, 1982 had an A and B series, 1983 only had an A series. With a few scarce exceptions these were the first wrestling cards produced in decades, meaning that nearly all of the cards in the set are rookies. The sets were sold through ads in the back of wrestling magazines and are very difficult to find today as few wrestling fans bought them in the days before Wrestlemania I. They have been incredibly hot lately as the world has realized their historic significance, just how rare the rookies are, and the investment potential. Certain graded examples of individual cards like Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair have sold for over $1000 each!

    Before I get to the auction I have to take a moment to discuss rookie cards. There isn't a clear definition of rookies in wrestling, and because of that people advertise almost anything as rookies. Know what you are buying! I will now make an attempt to explain the situation.

    What defines a wrestling rookie card is far more difficult to define than for rookies of say baseball or football. There are a number of reasons, wrestlers wrestle under different names, and sometimes under masks. Wrestling is very international and sets are produced in many continents. Just what sets have been produced aren't entirely known. Wrestlers are often included as part of multi-sport sets. Wrestlers often had cards in other sports before or after their wrestling careers. Football players, Boxers, and MMA cards are the usual examples there. Wrestlers often competed in the Olympics as wrestlers, weightlifters etc. and in some cases had cards there. Wrestlers often appear on multiple cards in a set. Also there are quite a variety of card types such as stickers, magazine cards, photos etc. There is even one case at least where a subset card was produced, but no regular rookie. Once the wrestling community unites on standards it will become much easier to define rookies.

    My personal opinion on wrestling rookies is as follows: Wrestling cards should be considered rookies if they are the first card of a wrestler in a major produced set (example 1985 Topps would be the Hogan/Ventura rookies) regardless of country that produced it (so 1985 OPC II would be the rookies of Randy Savage/King Kong Bundy). This makes some rookies released in foreign countries extremely difficult to find, but that is the case. If the card is a regular card it doesn't matter how many were in the set, all are rookies. If the card is an "in action" style card it can be considered a rookie IF there was no regular card, but not if there was. A good example would be the 1985 Topps Hulk Hogan scenario. He appeared in 2 different regular cards (his 2 rookies), and several in action cards (collectible but not rookies). He also appeared in stickers (not rookies, as sticker only sets can have rookies, but not stickers in sets with cards, unless that set had no card rookies.) The first wrestling card is the rookie, even if they had cards in other sports (Bo Jackson had baseball and football rookies, Michael Jordan even had a baseball one.) Olympic cards of wrestling can be rookies. Olympic cards of other sports such as weightlifting would be their weightlifting rookie and NOT considered a wrestling card, although still collectible. Masked wrestlers (if only 1 person used that mask) deserve rookies if they didn't have cards under their unmasked identities. If multiple wrestlers used the mask (Tiger Mask for example) then it earns its own rookie. For wrestlers with multiple gimmicks, the rookie is the first card, not first of each gimmick.

    Now that that is clarified, there are 3 types of wrestling rookies. XRC (extended rookie card) is the first card produced for a wrestler, and it was not produced in a major set. These wrestlers may still have later rookies. PRC (pre rookie card) is a case where there were multiple years of cards produced before the rookie. (A great Example, Andre the Giant had 2 1973 XRCs, a 1978, 1981, and 1982 PRCs, and his rookie was in 1985!) The final type of rookie is the RC (rookie card) the first card produced in a major set. During the 1940s-1970s (1980s?) there were photos produced of wrestlers given away or sold at live events. These can not be considered rookies or XRCs but are in some cases the closest to a card produced for a wrestler.

    Phew! Got all that? No wonder people are confused over what constitutes a rookie!

    Ok now back to this set, which is very rare, and most of the cards would be considered XRCs or PRCs.

    This set includes all 36 cards which I will describe:

    1. Rick Martel --- XRC (aka The Model)
    2. Tony Garea --- XRC (multiple time tag champ)
    3. Bob Roop --- XRC (Olympian, aka Maya Singh)
    4. Greg Gagne --- PRC
    5. Jim Brunzell --- PRC (pre- Killer Bees)
    6. Chief Jay Strongbow --- PRC
    7. Kerry Von Erich --- PRC (aka Texas Tornado)
    8. SD Jones --- XRC (has a crease)
    9. Brad Rheingans --- XRC (Olympian)
    10. Killer Khan --- PRC
    11. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat --- PRC
    12. "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff --- XRC
    13. Tito Santana --- XRC (aka El Matador)
    14. Sgt. Slaughter --- XRC
    15. Verne Gagne (had cards in the 50s)
    16. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan --- XRC
    17. "Crusher" Jerry Blackwell --- XRC
    18. Les Thornton --- XRC
    19. "Adorable" Adrian Adonis --- XRC
    20. Jesse "The Body" Ventura --- XRC (later became actor, then Governor of Minnesota)
    21. "Rock n Roll" Buck Zumhoff --- XRC (uncorrected error, name mispelled Zum Hofe)
    22. "Handsome" Jimmy Valiant --- XRC (Boogie Woogie Man before his famous beard)
    23. Steve Keirn --- XRC (aka Doink the Clown and Skinner)
    24. "The Crippler" Ray Stevens --- PRC
    25. Iron Sheik --- PRC
    26. Mr. Wrestling --- PRC (aka Tim Woods)
    27. "Colonel" Buck Robley --- XRC
    28. Bobby Duncum --- XRC
    29. Mike George --- XRC
    30. Dino Bravo --- PRC
    31. Baron Von Raschke --- PRC
    32. Bobo Brazil --- PRC (I believe, he may have had older cards)
    33. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine --- PRC
    34. Joyce Grable --- PRC
    35. Sweet Brown Sugar --- XRC (later became "The Birdman" Koko B. Ware)
    36. "Dirty" Dutch Mantell --- XRC


    Overall the cards are in great shape.

    I'd prefer not to give a specific grade on each. Overall they are EX-NM, with some perhaps being NM. Sorry about the poor quality of the photos, I have an ancient camera and this is the best it can do. US Shipping would be $4.50, and it would be $7.50 for foreign shipping. I do have series A, some non-sport, and some other wrestling items up now as well so be sure to check out my other auctions. I will combine shipping for multiple wins! Thanks for your bids, and remember to insist your sellers tell you the truth about whether that card is a rookie or not!

    I felt guilty bidding on his cards with that deal. Anyone who takes the time to do that is a moron. These cards would have sold for more if he had not done that. Major turn off!!!

    I kind of enjoyed the info in his auction. Might not have been the ideal forum for it, sure. But what do I know, I collect wrestling cards?
    I am buying and trading for RC's of Wilt Chamberlain, George Mikan, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Bob Cousy!
    Don't waste your time and fees listing on ebay before getting in touch me by PM or at gregmo32@aol.com !

    I thought it was weird to feel the need to get that off your chest. There is no doubt he did his reasearch and had some good points but it just seemed bizarre to me. He certainly put some time and effort into it and it could be worked into an article on a wrestling card site, but promoting cards in that manner is a bad move.

    Either way these cards have not cooled off!
