Looks like you are cutting these differently now, they look better the way you are trimming them now. Congrats!

KNAPP

Thanks Rob. I wasn't sure how PSA was going to grade these, so I had to play it safe at first.

WOW you have to love that inscription on the Flair. Very cool!

Very cool pieces. I like how the Hulkster also signed his real name.

Is there a reason why Ivan Koloff signed all shaky?

Dboneesq

Pretty cool how you got Hulk and Koloff (Oreal Perras) to sign their real names. Hulk's I knew ... never knew that Ivan was not his real name.

BTW is Ivan really Russian?

What's the deal with Ivan Koloff's shaky handwriting? Does he have some type of neurological disorder from too many head injuries?

Edit: Serious question btw

KNAPP

He is a very nice guy, just old. The guy can barely walk. I saw him the other day having a hard time getting out of his car.

Ah! Thanks for the explanation.

I like nice people. Especially hearing that certain "celebrities" are nice. It gives me hope rather than believing the entire human race is nothing more than a bunch of self serving a-holes.

Just wanted to share a few more. These are my favorite cards to get signed.

Hogan took his time when he signed this one.

Dusty signed "The American Dream Dusty Rhodes" on the front and his birth name signature on the back.

Knapp,

Those are awesome!

Mike

KNAPP

Thanks Mike. The Iron Sheik aka Hussein Arab and Andre cards are tough to find with full borders.

I cut up my first 1978 magazine this morning.....

SumoMenkoMan

Knapp, great cards! The Andre and Arab cards seem to have different borders than the other cards. Do they accept both?

WCK,

How do you think your cuts turned out?

wrestlingcardking

I just went outside the main solid border as that looks best to me.... I am not in a rush to sub them but happy to have it done. They should turn out pretty good for the most part. Magazine was in decent shape for a good price.

KNAPP

Sumo, the Arab and Andre were from my first submission of these cards. After a few e-mails with PSA, they decided that you don't need the dotted lines showing in order to get a numerical grade, because they only appear on two sides. The Hogan usually has the staple going over the border and the Flair cards usually have a bend in the upper left corner.

I was beginning to think that I may have messed up by not leaving the dotted lines but I just didn't care and did it for all the cards except for the Flair rookie. They look a lot better without the dotted lines from my perspective.
