About Wrestling Cards
Wrestling cards are a type of trading card featuring a professional wrestler or another related item. They can be purchased individually or in a pack, box, or factory-sealed case.
History of Wrestling Cards
One of the first known wrestling cards was produced by Allen & Ginter Co., a company that sold tobacco cards in the late 1800s. Topps began selling a Ringside Boxing set that featured five wrestlers. Years later, Parkhurst Products released a wrestling-exclusive set with 75 full-color cards in 1955 and another set in 1956 with 121 cards. No wide-release wrestling cards were sold in the 1970s, but production resumed in 1980 with The Wrestling All Stars series from Pro Wrestling Enterprises. In the mid to late 1980s, Topps sold WWF (now WWE) cards, becoming the first to include a sticker in the pack.
Wrestling trading cards became more popular in the 1990s and were primarily produced by the WWF and WCW. The WWF distributed cards through magazines. Wrestling sports cards got a big upgrade in the 1990s with gold-plated and 3D cards. Fleer entered the wrestling card market in the 2000s with the WWF Wrestlemania set. Fleer even released the Diva Kiss cards which featured women wrestlers and inserts. In 2005, Topps won the WWE (formerly WWF) license and released their first set of WWE wrestling cards under the Heritage and Heritage Chrome brand. Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, another professional wrestling group, trading cards also circulated in the late 2000s, produced by Tristar Productions. Other wrestling cards were issued and sold from the late 2000s to 2010s by Leaf and” indie” card brands. Topps released digital wrestling cards in 2010 which collectors could access on their phones.
Today, Panini holds the license for WWE trading cards and Upper Deck started producing the first AEW (All Elite Wrestling) cards.
