I got some wrestling items done last weekend (mostly Mil Mascaras in Valley Center, CA) and then this weekend a friend of mine got a few items done at the New England wrestling convention. Enjoy!

    Rob,

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    These are awesome, thanks for sharing. What is the best way to find out about guys like this signing, either via mail or at shows etc?

    Wrestling figures online has a list of a lot of appearances by the wrestlers. Sometimes you can send to the promoters and over the years I have established some good contacts who attend the shows that I am not personally there for.

    Sorry, which website is that? I googled wrestling figures online and didn't find what you are referring to.

    I bet Harley and Dory got a kick out of seeing the pile driver card.


    Harley Race DVD


    I plan to pick up a copy of this DVD when it comes out.


    This is a great DVD for anyone who likes older wrestling. Jim Crockett

    They had never seen the card before (Harley and Dory).

    Can any of you guys tell me what set these are and from what year? All I know is that they are from Spain around mid-1900's some time, but I'm not up on wrestling cards. They were part of a lot I picked up but wondering if anyone is familiar with them?

    I am aware of some cards from Spain but at first glance these appear to be different than the ones I am thinking of. I'll dig around and get back to you with any information that I may find.

    Yes, those are off my friend's and my wrestling trading card website.....these appear to be colored and the others on the website appear to be black and white. Perhaps a few different versions of these cards exist.

    Looks like there might be a few new finds in there to add to the checklist. Cool!

    Now I wish the set had a bit of star power, but it does not appear to have any.....

    I was hoping you were wrong about Kid Zamboa and while my never having heard of him means nothing sadly a google search got me nothing.

    Thanks for the help, guys. Figured if you didn't know what they were, I wasn't going to have much luck tracking down info myself! Looks like the Juan Manuel doesn't agree with your checklist? For the record, these have blank backs and they are paper thin. They feel similar to the pages of old newsprint or magazines. I'm familiar with several different companies making soccer cards in Spain in the same era, but really couldn't say any of them are a sure thing matchup with these wrestling ones.

    The wrestling card sets look a bit different. I have to say that my knowledge with pro cards from this era and region is not as good as the rest of random information in my brain!
