I just got these magazines from Japan. The one with the flair is from 1981 and the Hogan is from 1982. I've seen the hogan before but this is the first time I've seen the flair. The "cards" are on paper stock and are blank back. That holds these back IMO but I think they would look awesome slabbed. I'm in the process of getting them approved for grading and trying to get some guidance on how to cut them. I would like to see them cut inside the dotted lines so there is a symmetrical white boarder around the card. That would look much better than outside tge dotted lines. We will see how it goes. Hopefully they get approved for grading faster than it took the yamakatsu sets to get

    very cool and we know PSA will slab cards like that now.

    I like it a lot.

    When you get cards hand cut how do you do it.

    I was thinking about going to craft store and getting those professional scrapbookers to do it. They have great cutting abilities.

    Very cool item.

    I think these would be great to get signed and slabbed either way. I am sure the wrestlers featured in these magazines don't get them put in front of them much if at all.

    That is a great shot of Flair and Hogan. The dotted lines make it a challenge since the photos aren't always centered inside the lines.

    Wrestlingcardking did a great job with these. Thanks! Hopefully I can get them slabbed. I have a "challenging" sub coming up. Cards from 8 different sets that psa hasn't graded before. Only 2 are wrestling. The flair card is his first traditionally sized card... But it is still handcut and on rather thin stock.

    Good luck with the sub! Those cards are nice, but wish they were on thicker stock.

    That is Valentine with Flair. These are being returned to you today so hope you get them soon. I am happy with the way that the cuts turned out.

    I should be getting my 1982 Gong Hogan back pretty soon from PSA. It has been there a few months so it should just me a matter of time before the second one of these is ever graded.

    Terry Funk is throwing a punch to Abdullah the Butcher here.....

    The guy near Hogan is Dick Slater.
