    << <i>You mentioned the football player Leo Nomellini. Did he wrestle? And did he do real wrestling or the fake stuff? >>



    Nomellini was a pro wrestler in the off season from football like a lot of guys were during that time.

    I looked at the uncut sheet and Victor Rivera is above the Andre the Giant and Joe Leduc was right below Andre. I'm super happy to pull these two cards in a Gem Mint grade as I bet that people are super cautious and destroy those two cards in hopes of having larger borders with the Andre. These are two huge additions to my set.

    I see it has been over a year since I made any upgrades but struck a deal for the recently graded PSA gem mint cards of Dom Denucci, The Destroyer, and Bull Bulinski. I now have 27 of the 36 in gem mint grades for an overall GPA of 9.75. I was happy to have all the cards in their highest grade for one day and just found out that someone hit the Andre in a PSA 10. This is a bit of a bummer now as this is the only card (the key card to the set) that I do not have in the highest possible grade. I currently have a PSA 9 and PSA 8 of Andre.

    Andre PSA 10


    This guy wants an arm and a leg for the Andre.

    That is a pretty heft price. Not even sure a 1973 Yamakatsu Andre would sell for that in a PSA 10.

    The only Andre The Giant that would sell for $5k in a PSA 10 is the 1982 Wrestling All Stars. I can't see that being the winning bid either.

    I added scans of Bull Bullinski, The Destroyer, and Dom Denucci. It is rare for me to add cards that I did not hand cut myself and I think these are the weakest PSA 10s of the 27 that I currently own from the set of 36. The current Andre 10 does not wow me either.
