I picked up the PSA 7 from Eagles within the last month and then I had picked up two of the body slam cards of Andre a few months ago that should be graded here soon and then I am sitting on two others of these Yamakatsu cards before this..... That is 13 of these that I have got this year..... one of the body slam cards is a winner card that was redeemed. Cool to have an "insert" from 1974 and one of this wrestling legend.

    Wow! Pretty incredible grouping. Are you going to send them in for grading?

    Very nice find!

    If I were you I would get every single one in a holder. Who cares about the pop report when you own them all!!

    Good luck.

    Great score! 2 look like they will grade really well. Definitely get the winner card slabbed. Very cool stuff

    I am certainly going to grade them all and do my own impersonation of DPeck with his wrestling all stars. Hoard a bunch of the cards and let others try to pick them up elsewhere. I do think these are fantastic cards and I hope to eventually try to get the set just for kicks. I think that there are a fair amount of these out there will actually help their value because if they were so rare no one could buy them then there would not be demand for them. Now that people know these exist and they are attainable, hopefully more people will want to add one to their collection.

    These are definitely coming out of the woodwork. I'll take a look to see which cards are known to carry the winner stamp on the back. That's cool that one of the Andres has it.

    #15 is also a winner card and now I will have to see my variations that I acquired in the lot as I did notice a few of them with the natural background and the solid color........

    Crease on back of the card but no paper loss and looks awesome! looks better than the PSA 5 with the corner ding.

    The psa 7 # 29 is the best wrestling card out there until an 81 hogan surfaces IMO. Really nice stash.

    I think the Hulk Hogan 1981 card is a great card in my opinion. Of course some need to surface for there to be some demand for it.

    Here is another scan of the Hogan that you are taking about for others that may not have seen it............
