Posts: 592 ✭✭
I know Hogan and Andre are hot but in the set of 1982 A & B, What other cards are difficult to get in high PSA grade?I do not think the guides are so accurate when it comes to these sets. Are any commons commanding high prices? Thanks

Any card that still has a top grade of a PSA 8 or PSA 9 you know are extra tough. What makes these sets so unique is there are many performers that were a persons favorite.
In the past few weeks there have been a number of auctions that have been strong. One that comes to mind is the PSA 10 Joyce Grable Pop 2. It went for $320. When I first started collecting the sets I had never heard of her.
There are so many regional stars in the sets that it makes for lots of different cards that have personal meaning.
I would suggest checking out the registry and you will quickly learn what cards are more tough then others.
dpeck you think 85 wwf Topps set has any sleepers. In both Topps and OPC versions. Aren't their a lot of rookies in that product. Would that be the Piper to own? I know Hogan is very popular in it and George Animal Steele.

If I had to choose one it would be the OPC. I have about 25 sets of those that I bought looking for high grade cards. There are only a few cards in the set so far that seem to have a good chance of going for good money.
The Randy Savage and Elizabeth and the Andre The Giant card are two I think that will do very well in high grade. I have a PSA 9 of the Savage and have both of these cards at PSA right now hoping for strong results.
The reason the Wrestling All Stars get so much attention is they are just unique and blow all wrestling cards away.

It looks like a great candidate for a crack out and a PSA 8.
This is one of the most tough cards in set. Many of the sealed sets have him as the back card.

The link was not working. Here is the card. These in NM-MT and up are very tough and going to get a lot more expensive. The last one was in a lot of three and went for $456.
It was the prized card of the batch.

I think the fact that from that lot there is a PSA 10 of the Dick The Bruiser and Pedro Morales show just how tough The Chrusher's card is. With only one PSA 9 and only four PSA 8's that is impressive. I have subbed a number of the cards in the pop report and the pop totals are not low for a lack of trying. Most cards are not in the investment grade range and never get submitted.
Also see a seller in Hawaii has some nice PSA's on Ebay.
I bought my first two sets from him.
I got my 1982 A with a PSA 9 Hulk Hogan and PSA 9 Jerry Lawler for $199 and the raw set was very nice.
I also purchased my first set of 82B from him for $159 and that included a BGS 9.5 Iron Sheik, a BGS 9 Tito Santana, a BGS 9 Sergeant Slaughter and a very nice raw set. All three of these crossed over which was very exciting.
He was kind enough to include 27 extra cards from the 1982 A that were in decent condition.
I personally have not had good luck with BGS cards in or out of the holder crossing over to PSA. It is less then 50%. I just use the rule of thumb that until the grade exists in PSA form it does not exist.
To the OP, you need to get SMR that features dpecks collection. The last half of it features pecks picks. Martel, JYD, Andre, Dusty to name a few were featured cards. Don't have the article in front of me. Few others were mentioned.
dpeck you deal much with American Icon autographs. Just purchased my first psa/dna slab wrestling auto from them. 85 Topps WWF. Maybe they are in market and will get some of these wrestling all stars cards for future signings. Or do they get these cards signed, but sell them right away?
Yes there are some cards ending tonight. The Austin Idol if it gets any more action will launch. That card is insanely tough in a nice grade. The Harley Race will never grade PSA 9 do to the lower border centering. That is why there is only one in a PSA holder and the primary reason I cracked out my Hogans to get signed. PSA is super tough on the lower centering where BGS will give it a 9.5 as long as it is 50/50 side to side no matter what the bottom or top looks like.
Here is my PSA 9 Pop 1. It is a very nice card.
These cards are so tough without a lot of the little print dots on the cards. I was really excited when I purchased this card.
Does anyone know how many of each set were made in 1982 and 83?
When I emailed with Norman Keitzer who made the cards he said they were very limited and barely remembered them. He said Vince McMahon Sr. Came up with the idea and he went along with it.
Lots of BGS ones go down tonight. Crusher 8.5 is already at $300.
Is this seller with all BGS ones, cross any high grade PSA into BGS...
JYD was big seller in BGS 9 for $380. Whaoo BGS 9 $265 that must be a tough one.
A Billy Robinson in both a PSA 9 and BGS 9 went off. With PSA 9 getting $109 and BGS 9 version getting $76. So a nice premium for PSA version.
The Wahoo McDanial card is a tough one with no PSA 10's. I had a BGS 9.5 I won from an auction from Pre War Card Collector and saw an issue with one of the back corners that would keep it from crossing to a PSA 10 in my opinion and like an idiot I sold it for my cost a couple of months ago to another collector to try and help him with his BGS set. No telling what that would have brought last night.
There is a PSA 9 Jerry Blackwell with a current bid of $405 right now on EBAY. Once again a very strong number for that card.

This card is the first card in the third set and it is very tough to find in high grade.
There are not many Mint or higher Superstar Graham cards and many are tied up in collections so there are very few available.
