I remember a Mysterio popping up on bids in late 2010 and sold for a bit over $700 and that was considered a lot for that card. Now it brings about double that. A Hardcore Hak showed up the same year and sold for about$200 and now that one can be $1800-$2500 (I know because I have sold 2 of them in this range).
This set will always remain to me as the greatest wrestling set they have put together. The only issue I see it having is some of the midcard guys now holding value due to sets like Leaf watering the market down. Don't get me wrong. I love what Leaf has done but it really hurt values of WCW autos of Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger for sure.

Very well said.....LEAF has defenilty "hurt" the prices of a lot of the mid card/mid range level autographs. Especially the active signers. The Topps WCW Autograph set will always be epic and sell at a higher level....but even me ( who collects and even came VERY close to completing the entire set in 2010) would rather pick up the mid range Signers for 1/4 of the price (LEAF version) to add to my PC. I love Kevin Nash (one of the WCW Autogaphs i kept in my PC). But i was able to pick up his Topps WWE, TNA Relic Auto, WWE Mat Autograph for less than $50. So it doesn't make to much sence to pay the $100-150 price that the WCW Topps Nash Autograph demands. This goes for quite a few wrestlers
