2012 Leaf Originals Wrestling

[beefycheddar]

That checklist is sorely missing ECW Representation. Raven, Stevie, Dreamer, Shane Douglas, RVD, Sabu, Sandman, Mick Foley and many more could be added.

Here is a pic of Bobby Heenan signing.... VERY SAD!

Definitely sad to see The Brain like that. When I was a kid, I met him briefly in passing when WCW was in town, and he was really friendly.

So the cards size look more like the original 1948 Leaf?

Is their a firm release date on it.

BG, are the specially marked boxes one per case? Or do some cases not have any? Deciding on doing a case or not.

Hot boxes are one per case.

Thanks BG, the average collector like myself who cannot afford a case has zero chance at a hot box, what a great idea!

 

[Ty Hope]

I called one of the shops I go to here in Japan and asked what their plans were for the marked boxes. After a long conversation the owner, whom I know well, promised me the hot box if I committed to buy 3 boxes total (including the hot box). I'm happy

I agree here, for my box out, I will be turning the boxes upside down, mixing them up so I have no clue which is the hot box. Got to be fair to everyone.

All the boxes are going to be hot. 5 autos of many first time signers in it. Cry cry cry, reward the people buying cases. Nothing wrong with that. Buy a case and sell the the non hot boxes if you want.
Going to be a sweet product for wrestling fans.

 

[matchpenalty]

So every signer going to have 2 different art versions? I assume looking at The Brain signing. One going to more short printed than the other?

Any more sneek peek FCB pictures from the signings going to be released here?

Dude, not everyone here can afford a case

disagree, sucks for the box buyers. Any of the online places are going to double the price on the Hot Boxes. This is only good for case buyers.

I would much rather the hot box be a surprise.

 

[matchpenalty]

I can't afford a case either. More power to those that can.

This stuff is going to be the talk of National

I wouldnt go that far.

Wrestling is much like MMA, a new, fairly untapped market. Topps and Tristar have been releasing WWE and TNA product for a while now with minimal results.

It will garner hype, but the checklist is not very strong and most of the big names have autos in other products

I don't see that happening.

Who is American Icons?

Who is American Icons?

Big autograph company that brings in a lot of wrestlers to do shows on west coast. Smart of Leaf to get stuff done at these big shows they put on. They just had big NWO reunion. No surprise Scott Hall missed his plane and didn't show. Screwing American Icons and fans at that show.

I wonder if Brian had Gilmore help out on the Abdullah The Butcher signing. He lives in Atlanta and has a restaurant there. How cool would it be if he came into FCB shop to sign his Leaf cards.
