I decided to do a little house cleaning. I'm overflowing with stuff that should have been thrown away years ago and enough is enough!

My daughter decided maybe she should do a little digging, too, especially after she found all of her baby stuff in the cedar chest (I've had that cedar chest since before she was born and she didn't know what was in it!).

She brings me a bright red book entitled
Classic WF Wrestling Card Collector's Album

There area several of each wrestler in different poses...I must have bought the book and the cards for her when she was little. She will be 28 this year, so maybe 25 years ago?

Here are the cards:

Hulk Hogan
Ultimate Warrior
Texas Tornado (Kerry Von Erich)
Jake "The Snake" Roberts
Big Boss Man
Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Davey Boy Smith
The Model Rick Martel
Millian Dollar Man Ted DiBiase
Bobby Heenan
Rockers
Legion of Doom
Tugboat
Power & Glory
Bushwhackers
Macho Man Randy Savage
Koko B. Ware
Superfly Jimmy Snuka
Sensational Queen Sherri (she is wearing cat makeup)
Barbarian
Virgil
Nasty Boys
Sgt. Slaughter
Mr. Perfect
The Mountie
Undertaker (the original makeup)
Rowdy Roddy Piper
Gereral Adnan
Jimmy Hart
Slick
Earthquake
Mr. Fuji
Haku
The Dragon Ricky Steamboat
Paul Roma
Paul Bearer
Bret Hart

I don't know where she had it stashed, but the album and the cards are in perfect condition! :D

Judging by the roster, I'd say that they're kinda' like this, right?:


They were released in 1990 -1991 or so by Classic Trading Card Company. They were usually sold in blister packs in retail stores. Other card companies sold their stuff in typical wax packs; in giant boxes at convenience stores, grocers and hobby shops. At the time, Classic wasn't a typical card company, as they primarily sold board games with trading cards (most famous was a late 80's set called "Boardwalk & Baseball").

These 1990-1991 sets were flooded through Kay-Bee Toy Stores from about 1990 to 1994. Then through the "Toy Liquidators" outlet stores until roughly 1996.

I tried selling a few on eBay, late last year, and got exactly ZERO bids. Don't get me wrong-- they're cool to have, but don't expect them to be valuable. The old adage holds true: "they're only worth what someone is willing to pay you for them"

But...if they don't look like that, have a plain white border and the wrestler's logo on the front, those are a bit more rare. Classic also issued a set in 1989. Those can fetch you a few bucks a piece on eBay; especially the card of "Widowmaker" Barry Windham.

I'm not gonna sell 'em!

Are you kidding? The kid can sell them after I'm dead and gone.

I am just amazed that she had kept them and they are in such great shape.

And yes, they look like the one the one you posted.

I bet Scrooge would buy 'em.

What? I'm just saying...

Hey, I got some of those cards that EVE mentioned on here. I also have some of these WCW/NWA cards from '89, I think.

that sounds better than what I have :(

Okay, not trying to out-do anyone, but I really did happen to find a small box of "WWF Superstars" stickers, this week. Blue packaging, with Hulk Hogan on the front. I'd guess their release date around 1989 or so.

I think they're from Panini and part of a sticker album. You'd buy little 25-50 cent packs of stickers, which you'd place in a 2.99 album. Can't find the album, but I have no recollection of ever opening and sticking these things.

:(

EVERYONE OUTDOES ME!

Naw, your cards are cooler.

If anybody wants these stickers, lemme' know. They're pretty light, so mailing shouldn't be an issue at all.
