One reason why I started collecting cards was because of my all time hero and that is Dan Gable. I remember as a kid I pulled a 1983 Olympian card out of a cereal box and out of the 99 cards I got a Dan Gable card... My mom did not buy that cereal again and it was the only Olympian card I got. Anyways, he is in the 2012 Panini Americana new release and if any board members buy a box or two I'd love to get your Gables. I am thinking that I may ask him for a private signing and the more cards I have the better. It looks like there are variations to collect. Thanks.

He is also in the Press Pass Legends cards that are out now and his autographs are reaching some good prices.....

    PS I was collecting cards before 1983 but Gable is the reason why I collect wrestling cards today.....

    When I started wrestling in school I learned he was the best at what I did. His story is amazing. Cael Sanderson finished undefeated but nothing can touch the impact Gable had.

    Scored one of the printing plates for just over $100 so I am happy.

    Three different Dan Gable print plates have went over $500 on ebay now. I sold two of them, and did not win the other that went over $500 on auction.

    Amateur wrestlers love Gable!
