It looks like someone started their own grading company and trimmed these down to the bone.

These are brutal! I hope no idiot bites on these! I emailed him and his excuse for the trimming was his camera has bad optics. LOL

    I like his strong zero feedback selling!

    He must have litteraly taken scissors to these and just kept cutting. A few are insane.

    Man, what a joke. Where do you suppose he's getting the slabs? Probably ones that were previous cracked, huh?
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I am sure you can find someone who makes slabs in China.

    What he failed to realize I bet when he started the venture is the Wrestling All Stars are larger then a standard card.

    Had to trim away probably to get them to fit and of course to make them look sharp.

    The Dick Slater is the best!!

    You know it's a bad grading company when...

    -The barcodes are all the same
    -The seller doesn't even mention the name of the grading company, or the grade
    -All cards have the same grade
    -The name of the wrestlers aren't on the flip

    The listing indicates that you receive the 'card only'. I think the card is photoshopped onto a picture of a holder that obviously resembles PSA. You will not receive the holder. eBay has lots of scams...
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I think you are right. That must be what he means about using photoshop. Either way this is a brutal listing and everyone should stay away.

    I kind of want the pair of Gold n' Plump Chicken army helmets he's selling, but I'm not sure what I'd do with them.

    I know he wants to look like PSAs case and flip. But what does the case have on the bottom right corner? Does that say PSA? where do people get cases like that to make there own. Does anyone know?

    << <i>The listing indicates that you receive the 'card only'. I think the card is photoshopped onto a picture of a holder that obviously resembles PSA. You will not receive the holder. eBay has lots of scams... >>



    Yeah, he just revised his auctions. It didn't say any of that before.
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Great eye!! Yes it does say PSA in the bottom right corner.

    I would think there are copyright laws against this kind of stuff. That is indeed a PSA slab with a photo shop created label.

    My scanner and camera optics are bad so the photos needed to be cropped. LOL that is a good one.

    That seller should be placed in a protective jacket - a nice white one that buttons in the back.

    Hah I just realized those Wrestling All Stars cards were printed in Mankato, MN which is a town I lived in for 20 years and my parents still live there.
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The guy who made the cards Norman Keitzer still lives there to this day.

    Here is the back of one of the cards.

    I've enjoyed your posts about these cards before this, but now after learning that I kind of want to get a lower grade set for myself. Do you know if he had another company print them?
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The cards were the idea of Vince McMahon Sr.

    At the time Norman Keitzer was making programs for most of the major territories and printing a magazine called The Wrestling News with the title Wrestling on the front cover.

    With trading cards getting popular Norman made the cards and they were sold mail order only out of the programs and the magazine and at shows in the Northeast were the WWF ran their shows.

    I believe Pro Wrestling Enterprises was his company with the various other divisions.

    Once Vince Jr. took over in 1982 he was going in his own direction and by 1983 quit using Norman and his photos and instead started making his own programs and magazine. This was the begining of the end for his company is my understanding.

    Here is a copy of one of the issues I recently bought from a board member Tony.

    This has the photo used for Dusty Rhodes and Don Murraco's card on the cover.
