    also please explain to us what is the exact meaning of the phrase "mint on card".

    thanks in advance.

    I would assume that the seller meant that the figures were in mint shape and unopened.......and the package was in brand new type condition.

    Yep that is what that meant, to that type of collector the packaging weighs heavily in the value.

    These are by far the most rare wrestling figures that exist. I do not collect them but in searching for wrestling items I have educated myself on them.

    In the mid 80's LJN produced figures of WWF wrestling stars and almost all kids during the 1984-1989 owned at least a few. I had a good number of them but if they are in heavily played with condition they do not sell for much today.

    During that time frame the WWF was putting other promotions out of business.

    The AWA which was a huge promotion from the 60's to the early 80's lost its top billing when Hulk Hogan departed from their organization in late 1983. They esentially went defunct in 1989. That being said these figures were barely produced and feature the figures of Shawn Michaels and Marty Janeti which are the most rare as they teamed up at this time and quickly departed to the WWF to form the Rockers.

    Series 4 - 1986

    Shawn Michaels (Mat Mania)
    Marty Jannetty (Mat Mania)
    Nord The Barbarian (Mat Mania)
    Boris Zhukov (Mat Mania)
    Doug Somers (Mat Mania)
    Buddy Rose (Mat Mania)
    Dick Woehrle (Mat Mania) Had two different eye color variants
    Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissie (Mat Mania)
    Re-Releases on Mat Mania Card - 1986

    Nick Bockwinkel
    Ric Flair
    Paul Ellering


    These are the wretlers included in the series. The MOC is mint on the card and for hard core collectors the nicer the backer card the better. You can acutally get them graded by a company. I have bought a few MOC figures of Hogan, Jimmy Snuka, and Bill Jack Haynes and commited a figure collectors sin by busting them out and putting them on a little shelf. The value drops significantly when done and it is similar to a raw card vs a graded card. The LJN figure from the WWF that commands huge money in MOC is the Ultimate Warrior and goes for about $1,500 in great condition. I think the idea is that most kids busted them out by the time they got to the car and for a figure to never be touched and the card remain in strong condition is extremely rare. There are some toy collectors out there that either have very deep pockets or spend all their cash trying to locate them. I saw this auction and had it on my watch list just to see what happened but after a few days I figured it would not sell. Guess it did.

    I would be curious to see if the sale goes through on those figurines. Only one bid on the item and that from a guy with under 100 FB
    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

    I think there is a good chance. He has no bid retractions and many times sellers start high priced auctions with close to the thought of fair market value.

    The last Shawn Michaels and Marti Janneti I saw sell was for $2500 for those two alone and it only took a few hours. It was a guy selling his deceased grandfathers items.

    I almost bought some cards from him but chickened out becuase they were not going to be mailed in any protective holders. That sale was completed.

    There is a very small number of buyers looking for this kind of stuff but if all of the buyers think the price should be high it will stay high. There was very little of these made. It seems like a crazy price to most and me included but that is what makes a market.

    I will keep an eye on the sellers feedback and see how this goes. It does appear he sells a lot of rare wrestling items going way back in time. The buyer is a toy buyer so that would make sense.

    Any cards or memorabilia of Rip Rogers (early 80's)? Thanks.

    He is in the 86 Monty set.

    The seller is very legit, I know nothing about the buyer though.
