2012 Topps WWE Heritage

Did not go after a box yet but picked up some hot packs. Bought two relic jumbo hot packs and an autograph hot pack. Pretty happy with the results.

Daniel Bryan Relic (one of our favorites)
Zack Ryder Relic
I.R.S. autograph

There are some nice autos in this series and we are pretty happy getting an older star like I.R.S. Who can forget the tag team Money, Inc., couple of great heels. Check out more info about this set by wrestlingtradingcards.com. Check out Amazon to pick some up.

2012 Leaf Originals Wrestling Addition

We added this puppy to our collection, winning an eBay auction. What can we say, we loved Jake the Snake and his recent appearance of the Art of Wrestling's podcast inspired us. Check out Amazon for some buying options.

2012 Leaf Originals Wrestling

Love wrestlers from the past? Love collecting autographs? This new collection put out by Leaf is just for you. A hobby box is a little pricey (seen it for around $70-$80), but the 5 cards in the box are guaranteed autographs. The sketches are a little caricature like, but they are autographed.

Instead of a box, we opted to go after some pieces on eBay. Bought the Iron Sheik (who doesn't love Sheikie Baby?) and made an offer on a 12 card lot which was accepted. For the lot, were after Heenan, and the Steiner Brothers. Santana and Shamrock were nice gets as well. We are really enjoying these cards checking out all of our favorites from the past. So many cool wrestlers are included in this collection. We may still pick up a box and try our luck. These would make great gifts.

Topps WWE 2012 - Part 2

Alright, so we couldn't resist, wanted to search out another autograph. We saw two options on eBay. One auction guaranteed an SP Auto in one pack and a Relic/Diva Kiss in the other. By the way, from our experience, whenever a hot pack gives options with what you can get, it is most likely you will get the low end of what is advertised. the second auction guaranteed a HOF Auto in one pack and a Relic/Diva Kiss in the other. HOF was tempting but went to bid on the SP. The SP list has multiple Mick Foley changes, Triple H and Booker T so took a chance. As you can see we came up with Hunico. I think we may be done with 2012 and be happy with out Miz printing plate because we have not done that great. R-Truth relic is nice but nothing special.

Topps WWE 2012

Yes, we like collecting wrestling stuff and yes we still like cards. So when WWE 2012 by Topps came out we had to try our luck and buy some product. Hobby boxes were boasting two guaranteed hits, 1 Shirt Relic and Wrestlemania Mat Relic or Autograph so we were hoping for some nice hits.

What We Bought?

• 2 Hobby Boxes pre-ordered from Dave and Adam's Card World
• 3 Jumbo Hot packs from eBay
• 1 Jumbo Hot pack, case hit guaranteed

How Did We Do?

• Between the two hobby boxes we got two base sets complete. This should be a given with a hobby box but is not always the case.
• Hobby box one yielded the expected Shirt Relic hit (Big Show) and Wrestlemania Mat Relic (Chris Jericho).
• Hobby box one also had an extra hit, 1/1 Printing Plate (The Miz)!
• Hobby box two yielded a Shirt Relic (Mark Henry) and an Autograph...of Alicia Fox. Autograph is cool, but was hoping for a bigger name (sorry Divas).
• So after the two hobby boxes, we were still jonesin for more hits and took to eBay. Found a user selling three Jumbo hot packs and won all three auctions
• Jumbo hot pack one gave us a Shirt Relic of...the Big Show, doh! Yes, same card we already had.
• Jumbo hot pack contained a Shirt Relic of Albert Del Rio. Not bad, we sort of like him.
• Jumbo hot pack three produced another Chris Jericho Wrestlemania Mat relic, what!? But wait, this one is different. It is a parallel with a black boarder. No complaints here.
• Still not satisfied, back to eBay we went. This time we bought a Jumbo pack with a guaranteed case hit. Opening it up, we were hoping for a Triple H auto or a Diva Kiss. Got neither, ended up with a black boarder Sheamus parallel. At least it was a bigger name and not a Curt Hawkins. We actually like Curt but won't bring in the money a Sheamus would.

Overall we are pretty happy but were hoping for a bigger auto card. Who knows, we may take a dive back into the well if we get the itch again.
