I just got these in the mail. The cards are larger than a regular card but would fit in a tall boy holder. The solo card is really cool imo. I'm hoping psa or bgs will grade them. This was the info I got from the seller on them

"These cards are from 1978. There was a movie made that year which would translate roughly to "The Best Fighters in the World - Inside the Square Jungle". It had Antonio Inoki, Andre the Giant, someone called Monster Man and others. All of the cards in this set are scenes from the movie. The cards were released to help promote it. The movie was rereleased in the US called "Kings of the Square Ring". These cards are slightly larger than a traditional card. They were issued in single card

    I'd like for PSA to grade this issue and these have variations too on the back like the Yamakatsu Andres.

    What variations do they have? You mean winner stamps?

    Yes, I believe that I have three of the four Andres with a Winner Stamp on the back......

    The checklist for the set needs to get listed on beckett or wrestling card checklist site that psa will accept. should be easy to get this on the WTC site which psa will accept. That is the easiest way that i have found to get new sets graded.

    I tried before on WTC, but because it was a mixed-sport set he didn't want to include it. I need to reengage with him.

    I updated the scan I had my original post with scans of the card in a bgs slab.

    I have not had much response from the site in a little while......I sent them some scans of cards they needed and they have not been added. Hope they can get going again soon, I know it is a labor of love and a lot of work.

    The best way to get a checklist is to open a few tabs packs. Something on my to-do list.
