1982 Wrestling All Stars Series A and B Trading Cards
Product Details
The 1982 Wrestling All Stars Series A and B sets are the benchmark for all modern wrestling card sets. Featuring some of the first traditional trading cards of many of the top superstars from the 1980s, the sets may be small but they have soared to tremendous values in recent years.
1982 Wrestling All Stars weren't offered in packs. Rather, they were available as separate sets through a mail order off advertised in Wrestling News magazine. As you might expect, the cards today are rather scarce, especially in high-grade condition. For example, any Hulk Hogan cards graded above a 6 by PSA or BGS are likely to break the $100 mark. Top cards can reach four figures.
While both are strong, 1982 Wrestling All Stars Series A has more star power. The 36-card checklist includes Hogan, Ric Flair, Andre the Giant and Terry Funk, to name just a few. Jesse Ventura, Ricky Steamboat, Sergeant Slaughter and Bobby Heenan are among the big names in Series B.
The cards have a very basic design. The wrestler's image is placed inside a shield-like shape. Surrounding the image is a matching white frame that has a "Wrestling All Stars" headline at the top and the wrestler's name along the bottom. The outer borders come in several colors, including yellow, blue, orange and purple. The blue backs are very clean, focusing on bios.
1982 Wrestling All Stars is a benchmark set for wrestling cards. Although there were several sets released before, none were readily available that focused on so many modern stars. The first licensed WWF set was still three years away at that point. Combine that with the somewhat obscure availability and you've got the makings of a mat classic.
