There is a Harley Race and a Abdullah the Butcher in here, unsure of others but I know of those ten at the moment.

Starting at the top going left to right, isn't number 3 Bob Backlund?

There 16 cards in the set as far as I know. Two different of Andre, Abdullah the Butcher, Tiger Mask ll and Inoki. Others are Dory Funk, Terry Funk, Giant Baba, Bob Backlund, Stan Hansen, Harley Race, Mil Mascaras and the Mascaras Brothers. Not sure of the year, but on the back of one of the cards I remember it was written that a certain wrestler won a certain belt in some month in 1981. So the cards could be from late 1981, but I am guessing 1982.

I went searching for more of these cards that are still sealed with the figure and these are extremely expensive still sealed because of the popularity of collecting the figures. The figures themselves are ~$75 outside of the box. Put them still sealed in the blister pack and most of the prices jump to $150 to $200! Most of the Japanese who collected these as kids are now collecting them again as they get older I imagine. So finding unopened blister packs will be an expensive endeavor. It appears 3-5 cards are in each of the unopened blister packs.
Here are the 10 figures along with known cards we've found:
1. Abdullah the Butcher (Figure and 2 cards)
2. Andre the Giant (Figure and 2 cards)
3. Bob Backlund (Figure and 1 card)
4. Dory Funk (Figure and 1 card)
5. Terry Funk (Figure and 1 card)
6. Harley Race (Figure and 1 card)
7. Antonio Inoki (Figure and 2 cards)
8. Mil Mascaras (Figure and 2 cards)
9. Stan Hansen (Figure and 1 card)
10. Hulk Hogan (Figure and ??? card)
11. Giant Baba (No figure and 1 card)
12. Tiger Mask (No figure and 2 cards)
Notice how all the wrestlers have their corresponding cards shown except Hogan. I'm skeptical that Hogan has a card in this set, but you never know.

I'd say that wrestling cards are doing quite well and these are some key cards and will bring a nice return once they are on the market.

The 1981 Hogan card can be slabbed.....I'm sure that Eagles will be after that one for his RC collection now that there is a superior card to the 1981 oversize cutout.

These look great in a slab. I remember reading wrestling magazines growing up at the newsstand and seeing photos of Abdullah The Butcher and being freaked out. This guy was nuts.
What a classic shot of him and The Sheik. Both used a foreign object to cut their opponent.
