Today, we introduce a new exclusive in the form of a YouTube series called “Superstars On Cards”. In collaboration with Gaming Palooza Empire, Wrestling With Cards and WrestleVessel, the shared video delves in to the golden era of wrestling’s trading cards from the 80s and 90s.
This mini series specifically looks at all kinds of Topps Cards; including many hidden gems.

Not only that, but if you own any rare wrestling merchandising we would be intrigued to know.
Superstars On Cards – Episode #1
In this debut episode, we travel back in time over 35 years to the very beginning of the golden era of professional wrestling. This is the first WWF card set, featuring many classic superstars such as the Junkyard Dog, Rowdy Piper, The Iron Sheik and more.WWF’s popularity skyrocketed at this time, as they enjoyed incredible success off the back of the first WrestleMania.
This card set also features several Hulk Hogan rookie WWF cards which often sell for a few hundred dollars on their own.The WWF 1985 card set is currently highly valued at a price point of roughly $250 to $300 for a complete used set depending on condition. If you have this sat at home in a box gathering dust in the attic, you might want to preserve it well, as it will surely rise in value over the coming decades. Do you have a favorite card in this set? Please let us know.
