By Michael Moore, PWTorch Collectibles Specialist


SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

If you’ve got an extra $15,000 lying around, then Topps has just the product for you.

On Monday, Topps released details of Topps WWE Transcendent Collection, a super high end product scheduled for a February 13 release. Only 50 total boxes will be sold, with all cards serial numbered to 25 or less. The contents of each box are pretty stunning:

  • One complete set of 50 signed trading cards (all on-card signatures)
  • One guaranteed parallel card serial numbered 1/1
  • One autographed kiss card
  • One Tribute Cut Signature or Dual Tribute Cut Signature
  • One sketch card hand drawn by Rob Schamberger
  • One autographed replica WWE title belt

A full checklist is not yet available, but Topps provided images and details of some pretty amazing cards. Each box will contain a Vince McMahon autograph, the first time that his signature has ever been included in a wrestling product. In addition, the set will also include the first certified autograph of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin in a Topps product. The oversized Tribute Cut Signature cards include one of Andre the Giant and a dual of Randy Savage and Sherri Martel.

Topps is also promising a “VIP experience invitation” in each box: a ticket to WrestleMania 35, entrance to a private event before the show, wrestler meet-and-greets, and more.
