1973 Wrestling Annuals are now in the SMR Magazine

The 1973 wrestling annuals are now in the SMR magazine and I think that is great news. The prices are pretty cheap compared to what I have sold some for, but I know that PSA likes to start pricing conservative and then progress from there. While a few people think that anything handcut should not be slabbed, I do think there is a difference in how a handcut card is actually cut. I do think there is a ceiling found on handcut cards that the buying market puts on them (which is appropriate). Take a lot of the baseball cards from the 1980s, while the regular cards were released in the millions, having a star on the box bottom and getting that box bottom slabbed is a nice little rarity of that athlete. While I don't think you will ever see too many handcut items go for absurd amounts, I do think they make a nice collectible. Here is a debut of the annuals in SMR for this month.

Maybe this will encourage more people to grade the cards.

Here's the PSA Pop report. No PSA 10 Andre, yet.

I've did most of them to be honest......I subbed 33 of the 35 PSA 10s.
