While a lot of casual fans were probably already familiar with top stars like Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho, Cody and the Undisputed Era, plenty of younger wrestlers have grabbed fans\u2019 interest on both NXT and AEW Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the wrestlers who appear on these shows have already been featured in independent trading card sets over the last few years. Here\u2019s a look at five popular cards of new stars.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Sammy Guevara 2018 PWG Battle of Los Angeles. If you bought this set at that year\u2019s BOLA event or ordered one online from <a href=\"http:\/\/highspots.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/highspots.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1572819591577000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGPIwcm-AwVYbf5bPSHapJ67ivNmA\">highspots.com<\/a>, you\u2019ve probably never seen this card. Guevara was a last minute replacement in the tournament for Chris Brookes, who actually appears in the set. Brian\u00a0Ubben, who designed the PWG BOLA trading card sets, printed some cards up Guevara and handed them out separately at the BOLA shows.\u00a0\u201cNot many people wanted them,\u201d\u00a0Ubben\u00a0said\u00a0in a 2018 interview with the Torch. \u201cSorry Sammy. He has heat with a lot of fans at PWG. I was also worried people would just rip the cards in his face, so I didn&#8217;t print too many replacements.\u201d\u00a0If you don\u2019t have one of these Sammy Guevara cards, your best bet is to contact\u00a0Ubben\u00a0on Twitter (@briandabrain) to see if he has any left.\u00a0Guevara also appeared in the 2017 BOLA set.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/11\/image1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-88554 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/11\/image1-226x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/11\/image1-226x300.jpeg 226w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/11\/image1-768x1021.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/11\/image1-770x1024.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2019\/11\/image1.jpeg 1972w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Walter 2017 PWG Battle of Los Angeles #3.
