Product Details
Professional wrestling has a rich history. For many, it's a deep source of nostalgia. However, save for a small subset here and there, professional wrestling's history hasn't been covered much in the hobby yet, particular when it comes to autographs. 2012 Leaf Originals Wrestling looks to fill that void.
Boasting five autographs per box, 2012 Leaf Originals Wrestling gives collectors the chance to go after signatures from some of the biggest stars of the last four decades. These include Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Bret Hart, Bobby "the Brain" Heenan and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. The set also has the first autograph cards of Jake "the Snake" Roberts and Bruno Sammartino. Other icons in the set include the Iron Sheik, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Even Pete Rose, who had a string of Wrestlemania appearances, is in the set. In all, 2012 Leaf Originals Wrestling has 51 total signers.
The cards lend themselves to the 1948 Leaf Baseball design, with a bold, black nameplate running along the bottom. The cards opt for illustrations of the wrestlers and not photographs. All autographs are on-card. Every card in the set is signed.
Adding to the chase are several parallels, which are numbered as low as 1/1. Every wrestler in the set except Tatanka also has a rarer variation image. These also have parallels that are distinguished by the background color.
Random redemptions for original over-sized art and autographed sketch cards also appear in the product.
Although many of the wrestlers in 2012 Leaf Originals Wrestling have autographs in other sets, not to mention signed photos and memorabilia in-person appearances, this set marks the most extensive lineup for collectors all under the same umbrella.
Product Configuration: 5 cards per box
Price Point: Mid-End Wrestling Card
Target Audience: Autograph Collectors, Old School Wrestling Fans, Wrestling Card Collectors

On card autographs with excellent artist drawn wrestlers’ images. A very limited Autograph product; 2012,2014,2016,2017. Serial numbered SP SSP MSP of famous Hall of Fame and near famous Wrestlers. Icons alive and dead pictured by a great artist. Wish I had bought more early on. Fun to collect.
