Dammit Topps I thought I was done with you for the year.




I was just casually looking through some listings on the bay and came across some listings for the new Topps Heritage WWE set.  A vintage set of there 1985 WWF release, which I have a ton of somewhere.  I haven't paid attention to professional wrestling in more than a decade, but back in the mid-80's I was a huge fan.  I couldn't wait for Saturday Night's Main Event and the other weekly wrestling shows.  I haven't seen any of this yet around my neck of the woods, but dammit I'm probably going to have to pick some up.  I think I might be able to get away with just a blaster.  But the thing that got me most was that one of the inserts is an Allen and Ginter mini set. You know I have a weakness for mini's.  And look at this checklist, while I don't know a lot of the newer guys, there are some classic 80's wrestlers in there, no Honky Tonk Man or Hulk Hogan though.

I was also looking through the base checklist and there are quite a few names I would have included that I noticed were missing, but that's another rant.
I most definatly will be putting the Allen and Ginter set together.  I might even grab the base set too for fun.
