  1. I don’t think this is the earliest true wrestling card set…what about the 1954 and 1955 Parkhurst wrestling card sets?

  2. @Mark: Good question, I think it is viewed as the first modern era wrestling set.

  3. This set rocks!!!!!!!!!

  4. How many of these sets are there?

  5. @Ev: not sure, due to the fact that they were mail order sets from a magazine I would suspect far less than the majority of cards.
