Storm\u2019s base card usually sells for around $5, and a certified autograph most recently sold on eBay in June for $75.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/07\/shayna_baszler.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-45191 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/07\/shayna_baszler.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"175\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/07\/shayna_baszler.png 362w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/07\/shayna_baszler-217x300.png 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 175px) 100vw, 175px\" \/><\/a>Kairi Sane, the former Kairi Hojo, has been appearing in Japanese wrestling products since at least 2012. Her first card from 2012 BBM Wrestling True Heart features Hojo surrounded by several skeletons. Stardom also included Hojo in the company\u2019s trading card products from 2015 to 2017. In the 2017 Stardom Collection set, Hojo has two autographs: a solo auto and a dual with Yoko Bito. Base cards usually sell for around $5, but it is tough to price autographs because they surface so rarely.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/07\/unnamed-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-45192 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/07\/unnamed-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"175\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/07\/unnamed-1.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/07\/unnamed-1-211x300.jpg 211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 175px) 100vw, 175px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Several other women from the tournament are also featured on base cards from 2017 Stardom, including Tessa Blanchard, Santana Garrett, Dakota Kai (Evie) and Kay Lee Ray.

You can easily add a certified autograph to your collection for less than $5. Her first certified autograph was included in the 2014 Topps UFC Bloodlines set.<\/p>\n<p>Serena Deeb was once part of CM Punk\u2019s Straight Edge Society in WWE. She appeared on a few different cards from 2010 Topps WWE, including two base cards and an autograph.
