    I tried buying the card before it hit EBAY with no luck.

    This may go for more.

    There are a few very rare cards in the current auctions and even though the current prices seem high I would expect some late action on a few for sure.

    Here is a current auction that seems a little high. The top bidder is going after the cards in a huge way and is legit.

    I think I was a bit more suprised with DPeck's Rocky Johnson then Borne...

    Mcadams, probably true.

    But at this point, I am glad that I waited til now.
    I have a pending sale now, and will be listing some high grade singles on Ebay any day now.

    Rob I have been trying to find a nice Rocky Johnson for a while.

    I have one at PSA now that is very strong. That is a really tough card.

    Mike just be very careful taking the rap off. If you rip them definitely scan a few.

    Good luck if you do!

    Wow there was a bomb that went off last night!!!

    Record setting raw prices in a big way! I have never seen so many cards snapped up so quickly.

    These auctions for the graded cards ending in a few days are going to get really interesting. If the new buyers that showed up get involved it is going to get very expensive to win a card.

    This batch of current auctions is in the final stretch.

    It is going to be interesting at the end as recent auctions have sniped very hard on many Wrestling All Stars cards.

  • wrestlingcardkingwrestlingcardking Posts: 4,555 ✭✭✭✭
    I have bids on many of these but mostly just to see where a lot of these will land.

    The last Hogan Wrestling All Stars auto went for $407.

    I would suspect this one goes for that or more.

    Final selling prices did not disappoint.

    Did you win the Borne PSA 9?

    No I did not win the Matt Borne. It went for more then I was comfortable spending on the card.

    I need a Rocky Johnson too and have a great looking raw one at PSA now. Figured I would take my chances on that one and did not see that going for what it did so I would have lost that one any way too.

    Overall some serious interest.


  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The guy who won this card has really come on strong on the cards. The under bidder has too.

    I threw a $500 bid at it. That was as high as I wanted to go.

    This is one of those cases where I am just fine with losing. There may be others surface at some point and if not I have a great looking PSA 8. This card is the back card from the third set and has terrible printing issues too.

    The card that caught me by surprise was the D+++ The Bruiser card. That was a strong number for that card. I have one of the PSA 9's and the only PSA 10. The guy who has the other one I lost to him about two years ago and I think was just a casual collector and it may just sit in a collection like that. The guy who won this card is bidding to win!

    I have about 28 cards from the sets now that I am subbing and hoping to get some decent grades. I also am going back through my raw cards to see if I can find cards that could get 8's.

    The one stat I am really pleased about is I went through my submissions to PSA and with cross overs either in the holder or cracked I have exactly 100 cards to achieve a grade of PSA 9 or PSA 10. That is where I did really well with finding these cards early on. Obviously my cost basis is quite low on these.

    The one card out there that is hidden and is such a rare card is The Chrusher PSA 9. I doubt the person who own's it realizes what they have as it has been in the population report since I began following the graded cards. That card is impossible.

    It wasn't that long ago that you could scoop these up from wrestlingprints.com for peanuts. Obviously I didn't buy anythin from them except for 1 andere the giant for 20 bucks. He had about 30 of them. The only cards that were over 5 bucks were the hogan and flair cards. Foolishly I passed them in favor of the 85 topps and 88 wonderama. What an iiiiiiiidiot! Prob my biggest card collecting blunder since passing on 86 fleer basketball boxes that were on clearance to buy 87 topps football chasing jim Everett rookies
