\u00a0Yes, that\u2019s right there are no other current Schamberger trading cards available. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/Graphic-1-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41592 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/Graphic-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/Graphic-1-2.jpg 681w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/Graphic-1-2-216x300.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/Graphic-2-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-41593 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/Graphic-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"189\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/Graphic-2-2.jpg 677w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/Graphic-2-2-205x300.jpg 205w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Unfortunately Topps decided to put three of the 9 card set behind a paywall, so if you\u2019re looking for Bray Wyatt, Chris Jericho or Undertaker you\u2019re going to end up paying quite a bit for them as they were the ones you had to pay real cash to get your hands on. \u00a0Those three all have card counts under 181 with Jericho under 150. \u00a0It appears that those collectors who purchased the cards with cash are keeping them too, as there haven\u2019t been more than a handful available on eBay. \u00a0The remaining six cards in the set are nice, but have nowhere near the long-term value that these three do, and the Shawn Michaels Award which will be released in a couple days should also have great long-term potential. \u00a0<\/span><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3081555586\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On Tax Day Topps released a special two-card I.R.S. (that\u2019s Mike Rotunda as Irwin R. Schyster also known as Bray Wyatt\u2019s Father) set. \u00a0Same basic card, only one was an \u201caudit\u201d and one was a \u201creturn\u201d. \u00a0Both were 1:10 in a 5K pack, but pulling the audit card cost you 500 coins and pulling the return card gave you 5,000 coins. \u00a0There\u2019s just under 1900 cc on these, and I don\u2019t see too much interest going forward. \u00a0Unless you collect IRS or the Wyatts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A new \u201cmini-marathon\u201d called Colorful Characters appeared last week with Ric Flair being the first card of a 15 card set. \u00a0Awards will be Finn Balor, Sting and Ultimate Warrior. \u00a0These have 48 hour availability and the Flair sold out at over 11K cards. \u00a0The design looks nice, and the Finn award will be popular. \u00a0Otherwise with that much CC it won\u2019t be a long term investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Topps Limited will be a set with huge long-term potential with just 100 and 10 copies of the two variants, this set will undoubtedly be popular for all types of collectors. \u00a0The only issue is that it is completely behind the paywall, and paying only gives you a chance at getting the cards. \u00a0The first card, Tye Dillinger, is selling for under $15 for the 100cc, and the sky\u2019s the limit for the 10cc. \u00a0If further cards in this set are more popular performers you may see some ridiculous prices for those 10cc variants. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0

lime-green being made available. \u00a0The first set of Purples were the Hardys, and since they are so new to the app they will carry a premium above normal Purple pricing. \u00a0Base signatures have also reappeared, but considering the performer choices (Daniel Bryan &amp; Sasha Banks) are repeats thus far, interest cannot be all that high. \u00a0Though Sasha cards are always in demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Continuing the trend of limited-edition releases is Topps Mood, which are limited to 1000 cc and feature, well, dudes with bad attitudes. \u00a0The cards aren\u2019t much to write home about, they\u2019re simple black bordered designs, but the checklist is strong and it\u2019s a six card set with Mankind as an award. \u00a0Pricing is in

WWE\u201d and while it has an appealing design, is not starting off well as JBL is the first card. \u00a0If you\u2019ve been paying attention lately JBL is not the most popular of announcers right now, and #fireJBL is trending on Twitter and other social media. \u00a0Dropping this set so soon after the 35 person strong \u201cMasters on the Microphone\u201d which contained many an announcer is just stupid, and starting off with JBL is a complete mistake. \u00a0The two variants are an open edition and a 24 hour availability variant. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I\u2019ll close the news roundup this week with the issuing of the Marathon awards. \u00a0It was a long 30 weeks that saw a lot of collectors end up very happy with their choices. \u00a0The flurry of trading at the last minute was palpable. \u00a0I doubt we\u2019ll see 30 week marathons in the future. \u00a0The Green variant of HOF Stone Cold Steve Austin saw only 51 cards issued. \u00a0The Green variant of The Rock Stars of the 1990s came in at 81. \u00a0Blue Stars of the 1980\u2019s Randy Macho Man Savage ended up at 124. \u00a0So these awards are in very very short supply, and as the player base grows and player collectors end up missing out on these they will command a pretty penny in the secondary market. \u00a0I managed to complete all five of the marathons I had been chasing since Week 1, and I will never do that again (though I am collecting all three of the new mini-marathons so far). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Insert Set

even saw him defeat the immortal Andre the Giant in person at a house show for the IC title). \u00a0I certainly never cared for him as a human being, and the one and only time I ever met him at San Diego Comic Con back when he was shilling his comic book didn\u2019t leave me with an impression that he was all there. \u00a0Either he played the character 100% of the time, or he was simply looney tunes. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This four-card set came with a whopping 4 variants an open edition, a 24 hour variant, one capped at 2000 cc and one at 1500 cc. \u00a0You can\u2019t GIVE these cards away anymore. \u00a0They\u2019re terrible. \u00a0Each card looks exactly like the others, there\u2019s no real way to tell the variants apart, and they just suck. \u00a0Another problem is that you would see them in practically every trade for a long time. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Day 1<\/span><\/li>\n<li

parameters. \u00a0Three variants, an open (1:10), a 24 hour (1:15) and a fixed cc (1500 at 1:25).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Due to the vagaries of how Topps releases the open editions (i.e. every Open Edition is available until the end of the set, meaning the last card issued is actually very very hard to pull) the Finn Balor card commanded a huge premium just prior to the award being issued. \u00a0This will be a recurring theme. \u00a0As with Charisma there is a Series 2 as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dolph

different eras in that sport, and in a field such as Professional Wrestling we have a unique situation as there are actually performers that are 3rd and 4th generation Wrestlers (If either of the

for 24 hours. \u00a0I really liked this set, it\u2019s no-nonsense framed design featuring two photos won me over from the start, and I collected the open-edition and a couple of the higher-tier variants. \u00a0Once again the final card of the open edition proved very difficult to pull, and at the time of the award only 533 of the Rikishi\/Usos card were produced, meaning that the Open Edition award is actually in shorter supply than the 24 hour variant! \u00a0Sadly there\u2019s no love for this set currently, awards are under $5 with singles and full sets being super-cheap.
