Official WWE HOF Rookies Thread

I thought it would be a great idea to setup a WWE HOF RC set, and I talked to PSA about including it on the registry. Since there are technically no official wrestling RC cards, all we have to do is come up with a checklist and send it in for approval. I've come up with a starting point of "RC" cards that we can debate/edit to finalize the list. This would be a great place to show off some cards too. I look forward to seeing some nice stuff & getting everyone's input

There is no way to know until you open them as the 1989 packs are the same as the 1990.

<< <i>List looks good to me. My only suggestion would be to use 85 and 87 OPC over topps since OPC is more limited. 85 piper and Bret hart for example. Just a suggestion... You intent might be the most mainstream rookie. Also the rock and Goldberg have earlier football cards. Not sure if you would want to use those instead. And lastly there are some Japanese sets from 74 and 76 that contain the first cards of a few of the wrestlers listed. It's a mute point right now since psa doesn't grade them right now. I just got them slabbed by bgs and working with psa right now to get them to grade them. >>
I tried to start the list with cards that would be somewhat mainstream, because I know some of the sets are nearly impossible to find. I'd be leaning more to keeping the '85 topps over the OPC where certain wrestlers have cards in both sets, but I could see changing the '87 Bret Hart to the OPC since he's from Canada & it would probably be his most desirable RC card. I also figured that the Rock & Goldberg RCs should be wrestling cards & those football cards would be considered XRCs to me, but this list isn't meant to be mine. I just came up with a starting point & would like to hear what everyone else thinks. I will put your suggestions up next to the cards that I have already listed & we can eventually vote on which ones we want in the set. I'm hoping there are more collectors out there that would be interested in this set and can provide some input.
Let us know how you make out grading those Japanese cards

Any idea on what to use for tag teams/stables (Blackjacks, Funks, Valiant Brothers, Von Erichs)?

Hi all. Stumbled onto this great thread. You guys are amazing.
Did this ever get off the ground?
This is a pretty old thread ...................and I believe most of the WWE has gravitated
to the other Message Board " Sports Cards and Memorabilia Forum " under the message title
of " 1982 Wrestling All Stars Series B new additions...Magazine and Order Form Photos...dpeck100 new addi "
You will get a quicker answer over there ????
