Collected these as a kid, thought it would be interesting to get a few graded. I believe these were only issued in Canada

    I sent in three from a set. Hulk Hogan got a nine. I really wasn't sure what the grades would come back as but I did try to send it what I thought were the best three of what I had. A lot of them looked to have white around the edges and none of them had been removed from original cello until I sent them in.

    I was reading something about a poster that accompanied this set or is that for the 1988 set?

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    They are really cool. I have some 1988 PSA's on ebay(wink wink). I thought they should have all graded 10's but who knows what PSA saw. I think the edges are raised up a little so maybe that was it? I have to check if I have the 1987 set. They are cool in their own little cello packs. I have 1987 PSA 10's of Tito Santana, King Kong Bundy and a 1988 PSA 10 of Elizabeth. They look great in the holders and I also like the baseball Hostess stickers from the same years.

    This was my wheelhouse in 1987! Hostess had a few inserts in this period that every kid collected. The WWF stickers, the rock band stickers, and then the baseball stickers, which were my favorite. I remember you could see the stickers through the hickory sticks packaging, but even so I couldn't bring myself to buy them because I hated the taste of them. Ketchup chips were the only way to go.

    I remember needing REO Speedwagon for the longest time, and then needing Tony Gwynn forever.

    Nice to see these again...
