Pretty pumped to find this and to have it slabbed. I may try to work with PSA and getting it done with them as I like for my cards to be PSA graded but really excited to have this with the King!

<< <i>Great find! You are unearthing some very cool cards. Looking forward to any other suprizes you might have >>
It has been a banner year with the 1981 Popy Hulk Hogan and then this Monster Roussimoff card as well as the four Hulk Hogans in the 1982 BBM set. I really enjoy the cards from Japan, but I do not anticipate being able to uncover too many more cards. Sumo will more likely be the one to find some more material. Hopefully we will know enough about the new discoveries for the grading companies to get the cards in slabs so they can get into wrestling card collections.
Thanks again to all for the positive feedback on these.

<< <i>I watched a little wrestling in the 80's (in the Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man era). I have noticed in a number of the wrestling card threads it seems like a lot of cards being talked about seem to be foreign issues, specifically Japanese. Is there a reason wrestling and wrestling cards are so popular in Japan? >>
I think that part of the beauty of collecting wrestling cards is the limited supply of them on the market period. If you look at wrestling cards over decades you will find the 1948 Topps Magic Photos (25 cards), 1954 Parkhurst set (75 cards), 1955 Parkhurst (121 cards) and then there is a fairly large gap of time before you find another set. Some of the contenders of sets after that include the 1973 Annual (handcut set of 36 cards with an Andre), 1974 Yamakatsu (first pack issued cards of Andre), the 1976 Yamakatsu set (40 cards with many big name US wrestlers that are extremely rare) and then the 1982-83 All Star sets. The All Stars are essentially the 1986 Fleer basketball cards of wrestling. By the time it reached 1985 then you get some rather common cards and some rather undesireable cards which include many action shots that lack overall appeal to many collectors. I think that the Japanese sets clearly help fill a void of material for the whole era of wrestling cards. For example, my Dynamite Kid PSA 9 rookie from the 40 card BBM set is great because he did not have an individual card of him near that time and the 1981 Popy set includes a rookie of Stan Hansen that was not readily available either. There was not a Dynamite Kid or a Hansen in the wrestling all stars. In all honesty, I lack interest in many of the wrestling cards over the last thirty years. I do enjoy the cards from most of the sets from 1983 and earlier.

Harley Race Gong sold for $150 raw and many other cards had some pretty nice strong raw prices. I think I did well to be really stocked in these Gong bromides.
