    Man never heard of any of them guys,which team they play for??image
    J.R.
    Needs'
    1972 Football-9's high#'s
    1965 Football-8's
    1958 Topps FB-7-8
  • I'd get Jake Snake on his 1985 OPC Topps WWF
    Ivan Koloff on his 1988 Wonder rama
    Flair on 86 Carnation if you can find one or his 82 All Stars but those will be spendy
    Rock N Roll Express I think have 1985 All Stars card
    More current guys on WCW or recent Topps cards...

    When is the show?
  • Novemeber 16th

    Im not sure how much an autograph is but if anyone wants me to get a card signed for them , I can get them too and you pay me back

    tell me what you all think ?

  • scmavlscmavl Posts: 1,409 ✭✭✭
    I'd only get that Hall signed if you plan on getting Austin to sign it too. Otherwise, go with a single card.
    2.5 is pretty much my speed.
  • yeah good idea.

    if anyone else wants a signature they are only 10 dollars.
  • tomorrow is the day

  • excuse my scanner looks like some dust got on it
  • Nice cards. Let us know how it goes.

    Like that Panini national promo Flair. If it is glossy on surface. Rub it down real good with your thumb before he signs it or it will bubble.

    Eagles is that a 1987 Wonderama header card? If so that is a great one to get signed.

    I bet Scott Hall will get a laugh out of seeing the Cromy card. I highly doubt he has signed many if any of those.
  • eagles33eagles33 Posts: 2,683 ✭✭✭
    Yeah that's an 87 header card.. I can't imagine many of those are floating around signed.

    Very few if any. It is obviously a nicely centered copy too which will present great. At the recent signing in New York where Hogan and others were at I know a person who attended and he said that there were few trading cards getting signed. I think that is great news as many of these items will stay relatively hard to find. With many of the wrestlers catching on that autograph signings are great easy money many items are falling in value but getting the right stuff signed to me is the key.

  • At these type of wrestling conventions. Is their dealers that sell bootleg dvd's of wrestlers and cards from old school days?

    I would suspect the answer to the first part of the question is yes. There may be a few examples of wrestlers selling cards but certainly not the norm is my understanding. I have been told most sell cheap prints of old photos.

    Dpwe



    just got back 3 hour wait for ric flair and he smudged one of my autos boohooo

    but you know what you called it Dpeck Xpac and Scott were in the same table signing and when Scott saw the card he actually laughed out loud and yelled oh no brutal. Sean was like diamond stud thats not bad thats how it all started or something . both of them enjoyed the card.


    Scott if any were wondering is doing great and told me that is very excited to be back in wrestling. His son was there too and is hoping to make in the sport.

    Ric though was out of his mind. I do not know what he was on but he was not all there and ended up smudging my panini card. I shook his hand at the end and he greeted me . lol


    I met one of the founders of Wrestle Cade and they are having a big show with 145 wrestlers signing.

    Got to really know the guy for we waited in line together
    got some free passes. not sure if I can make it but will try

    He told me they landed Ric for next year though and some other wrestlers big names for 2014 which will be released later on.


    but here are the cards from before so you can see an after.

    p.s. I used blue ink because once I asked Dale Earnhardt sr. What color I should use and he said always use blue son. always use blue.


    Eagles Cards.

    there were all kind of dealers and lots of the wrestlers had cards, but mostly they had photos, posters, books, etc.

    Awesome. Thanks!! Interesting that he signed it as diamond stud

  • oh wow did not even notice
  • Nice stuff. Flair cards look great. Did you ask him to sign 16x, were inscriptions extra. That was a nice mix of cards you had him sign.

    Hall Diamond Studd is cool. Never seen him sign that before.
    Any of these cards going to PSA/DNA for slabbing.

    You get other stuff signed there. Was it very crowded. Was Flair late or just his line insane long for a 3 hour wait.

    I'll send mine the next time there is a red flip special. Thanks again

    Those are some great looking graphs. That's a bummer that one of your Flairs got smeared, but at least it wasn't the All Stars card because that would have really sucked. When I got Flair at one of the SunTimes show I saw him smudge a bunch of cards because he wasn't paying attention while signing. He was literally putting his finger right in the center of the card and sliding it back to the person getting it signed. You should have brought it to the attention of the promoter and got your money back for the smeared signature. If it is a halfway decent promoter they will usually refund you your money or replace it with another item when something like that happens.
  • The Flair wait was just insane. He was going slow he was kinda out of it. IMO . I mean yeah everyone talked about it.

    But he was gracious a bit , but seemed bored and out of it. Maybe he hits some beverages or something. But the line went really really slow. They had a professional photographer take pics for your personal pic. I think that did a lot of the slow down He would get up and stand in front of a black curtain with each person then go back to signing.

    I dont know but it was not crazy amount of people just really really slow moving.

    I got a bunch of cards autographed . There were a ton of wrestlers there since most live in GA , FL, and the Carolinas. There was no line for anyone else. short ones for hall and jake the snake roberts, but nothing like flair.

    Most of the wrestlers were in an open arena where they had a table and you could get an autograph or whatever. 5 bucks mostly for the other guys , flair was 40 for the meet and greet you would get two autographs or an auto and photograph and 10 for additional autographs.

    It was fun, the wrestlers just like hung out. You could basically walk up to them and just talk to them, lots of them were eager to talk about the old days and stuff. Lot of nice people, out it the hills of northwest ga.
  • yeah I did not really need a refund I was just bummed out that , I got that card for that signing and a few cards that I bought for the signing never came in on time.

    so it was kinda of a bust for me for Ric Flair yeah but thank goodness it was not the All Star. I would have cried lol

    Yeah he was pretty careless , he really was not feeling it.


    But, I ll get more next time.

    Sounds like it for the most part it went well. The All Stars card is obviously the better one and fortunately it was the one that came out best.

    That is interesting that his line was sooooo much longer then all of the others. You have to assume that he would be more heavily desired then the others but I would have thought it would be a little more even then 3 hours and 5 minutes.

    Was Scott Hall cool and what about Jake Roberts?
  • Selling my ric flair auto all star if anyone is interested pm me
  • Nice! Great memories...
    I forgot who Scott Hall was before he went with his name? - been bothering me for the past several minutes.
    Also, I believe Jake the Snake Roberts should have gone out without the Python...would have been better for the chicks - kinda like the "big unit"

    Scott Hall started out using his own name in the 80's and then became the Diamond Studd. Shortly there after he became Razor Ramon and became a top guy.

    He left for WCW and once again used his real name Scott Hall.

    I just read a few bits and pieces last night from a recent Jake The Snake Roberts interview and apparently he and The Undertaker used to travel together and Roberts was known for hitting up all of the strip clubs around the world. He has had is fair share of chicks that is for certain!
  • AH! Thanks Dpeck, Razor Ramon! that is the name I couldn't remember lol.
