It is his rookie. I think in the bigger picture of the four major star cards in the set he is the weakest in terms of where he stands in wrestling history.
Cena is a top guy. Orton is still around and doing great work. Lesnar is my favorite modern wrestler ever. Batista has turned into a crybaby on Twitter and goes on rants about Trump until he is blue in the face. I own one of the four copies and some other graded ones but don't view him as someone I like in wrestling. In my view he has become too Hollywood and too much of an SJW. These two issues may resonate with others it is hard to say. The price is still higher than passed sales but clearly lagged.
I think the thing with this set is in most cases these eye popping results would bring out a rush of supply. Here it can't. I have two of Cena, Orton, and Lesnar and so the potential supply is very low. I subbed many years ago but kept buying boxes when I could and have not hit a 10 on the last four. I don't believe you will be finding raw copies loose on EBAY that will 10 either so these population totals have grown some over the years but not much and have weathered people like me ripping the best product with the most potential of getting 10's and have struck out.
It was only a matter of time until this set took off. The prices definitely went higher than I expected but the other huge issue is that the same people diving head first into wrestling now in many cases are paying astronomical prices for unproven athletes from various sports. The three that did well are mega stars from their era.
