On screen Gorilla would play the good guy and Bobby the bad guy and they were terrific together. Off-Screen they were the closest of friends, and it showed. Bobby&#8217;s later life was filled with health issues, including several cancers and at the end he didn&#8217;t look at all like he did in his heyday. I knew this day was coming but still too soon. First Harry Dean Stanton, now &#8220;The Brain.&#8221; Sad weekend. RIP Bobby.<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5019\"><b id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5020\">\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n<div

the game thus far, as the calendar is loaded with two PPVs in the next three weeks. \u00a0That\u2019s not to say that there have been some interesting content drops. \u00a0We\u2019ve had a series 2 of the Rob Schamberger art cards, a second series of the Boom Studios Comic Covers, a smattering of inserts here and there, and oh yeah, the Women&#8217;s Division release, which was a cluster-bomb of epic proportions.<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5024\"><b id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5025\">\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5027\" dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5028\">The Women&#8217;s Division set consists of several parts: a 21 card \u201croster\u201d set in four variations, a 20 card \u201cmatches &amp; moments\u201d set in four variations and an 11 card \u201crivalries\u201d set in one variation. \u00a0Released simultaneously as the 2017 version of Undisputed signatures, the app is still \u00a0jumping as people tried to complete their sets. <\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5031\" dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5032\">One thing hindering them, the Women&#8217;s Division cards are extremely hard to search for in game. \u00a0You can\u2019t search the keyword \u201cWomen&#8217;s Division\u201d or any variation of the actual title. \u00a0If you search \u201cRoster\u201d for 2016 cards you\u2019ll come up with the roster set, but as of now no one has found any keywords other than the color variations to search for the Matches &amp; Moments set, and there is nothing you can search for the Rivalries set. \u00a0Add to that error that the gold variant, which in the announcement were not announced as being limited, sold out at 500cc within minutes, and Diamond only packs containing not only golds, but silver and Rivalries were pulled from the store for almost a full day. \u00a0Coin packs only contained the red, blue and Rivalries cards.<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5033\"><b id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5034\">\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n<div

packs at all for more than the first day and only appeared several hours after Diamond packs returned to the store. \u00a0Her single has about half of the CC than all the remaining silvers. \u00a0If you want to be confused even more, the award checklists in app didn\u2019t list the Emma as being needed for the award, but were later amended. \u00a0Those same checklists were also quite buggy until being fixed. \u00a0Here\u2019s the main problem: this is only wave 1 of the Women\u2019s Division set, wave 2 is forthcoming next month, and in it will be Becky Lynch and Charlotte amongst others.<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5038\"><b id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5039\">\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n<div

for the Women\u2019s set to drop, and wasn\u2019t able to be online when it did (over an hour late from what Topps announced too). \u00a0So I missed out completely on Gold variants, but with a bit of help I was able to complete the silver, blue, red and the Rivalries sets by weekend\u2019s end. \u00a0I didn\u2019t bother with the Undisputed signatures since there was no one in that set I collect, and the two Triple Sigs sold out early and shot up in value over the $20 price point. \u00a0As of now the Women\u2019s triple containing Ember Moon\u2019s first non-award signature has sold for as much as $30. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5043\"><b id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5044\">\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n<div

first single sigs of Kane, Liv Morgan and Mrs. Jonathan Good Renee Young, as well as a new Paige sig, but since the CC was limited to 1500 there really isn\u2019t that much secondary value for these. \u00a0Expect them to go for $2-5, with the high end reserved for the ladies. \u00a0It\u2019s really too bad that Topps didn\u2019t choose better performers for this set, though they have the opportunity with Wave 2 to really knock it out of the park. \u00a0There are 56 different single sigs in the physical Undisputed set this is based upon. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div

are not guaranteed) include Bret \u201cThe Hitman\u201d Hart, Undertaker, Johnny Gargano, Tomasso Ciampa, TJ Perkins, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. \u00a0Speaking of the Good Brothers, in the physical product there is an AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows triple signature which would be incredibly popular in game if Topps chose to include it in Wave 2. \u00a0Let\u2019s hope they did. \u00a0We won\u2019t mention the Quad Booklet of the entire Bullet Club (WWE Version) since there\u2019s no chance that\u2019s going to make it in game. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div

set and <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_2086171584\"><span class=\"aQJ\">in two weeks<\/span><\/span> time we\u2019ll see a second Hell in a Cell set. \u00a0Interestingly enough, No Mercy was a Smackdown PPV and HIAC was a RAW PPV \u00a0last year and both sets had some decent cards that still get offers. \u00a0Of course, the high end sigs in those sets last year were limited to 100cc, and that doesn\u2019t seem to be happening much anymore. \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"m_7485006918182513210yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1505788699990_5058\"><b

improvement over the first VIP sig, Dolph Ziggler. \u00a0For one, it\u2019s DiBiase\u2019s first signature in game, and secondly it was available for coins and diamonds instead of just diamonds. \u00a0While legends don\u2019t usually get the same collector attention as current stars, this is a nice inclusion, and one I\u2019d like to see continue. \u00a0I would actually appreciate being a VIP if they had a legends theme to these special signature releases.<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div

game, and since I\u2019ve been collecting the physical version I\u2019m somewhat excited to see what we\u2019ll get digitally. \u00a0The set is solid with 1987 Baseball as its main theme, but also containing subsets based on the classic Wrestlemania III set also from 1987. \u00a0<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_2086171585\"><span class=\"aQJ\">In two weeks<\/span><\/span> along with HIAC we get something called \u201cStadium Inserts\u201d which I would surmise as being related to Topps classic brand \u201cStadium Club\u201d which first appeared in 1991 for Baseball.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><em>Don\u2019t forget you can find me in game at GRENDELSEN, and I\u2019m always happy to trade or answer any questions you might have.\u00a0 Leave questions or concerns
