    That is crazy.

    Very cool. Do you have the other panels? Whose on the back of that card? We are missing the checklist from Oct 1970.

    Didn't wrestlers back then intentionally cut their forehead to cause the bleeding and increase the reality effect?

    Let me check on who is on the back of the Crusher....Killer Karl Kox

    This one may be a contender for being crazy too........

    Baron Von Raschke on his website has replaced the swastika with an "Iron Cross". Good idea image
