Andre The Giant



This card obviously has no shot at crossing with the centering and size of the card but it will certainly be interesting to watch for sure.


I could see this card bringing a very strong price either way.


Put this one on your watch list for sure.

    It may have been poofed for key word spamming. I would think it may show back up with the way it was ended.

    This card is a blazer for sure. Awesome corners, great coloring. The problem is the card is very short and most likely would not grade at this point by PSA. I am willing to bet it would come back as MIN SIZE REQ.

    I am not smart enough to know if it is trimmed but the 82A in particular come in different sizes but the standard size is for these cards is 1/8 of an inch larger on both the top and side.

    PSA in recent months have rejected a number of cards for this. In the event it would grade it is clearly off centered top to bottom and certainly not deserving of Gem Mint centering.

    I would give this a PSA 8 if it did grade and still a great card for this issue.

    It's back with a new description. You can not reference a higher grade in your listing and I believe that is why it was removed the first time.

    But BGS has said the centering is 9.5 GEM MINT, so it must be perfect, right?

    << <i>No way that centering is 9.5 being that low. The 6.5 one listed has better T/B centering IMO. >>



    shh....you're making sense. BGS says 9.5 GEM MINT, so it must be so.

    I think the centering on my PSA 9 is better on the top to bottom. It has razor sharp corners and if the centering was a touch higher could be close to a PSA 10.

    Seems like there hasn't been a whole lot of buzz about wrestling cards on the boards lately, so I thought it might be fun to resurrect this one.

    This card had quite a wild ride.

    First it was listed and I posted it. Then it showed up in PWCC auction and sold for $2,871. A few weeks later it pops back up on EBAY and sells for $1,362.

    It ended up in the hands of a collector from Hawaii who is putting together a set in BGS holders and hopefully he is happy with the card.
