Bah, moving.

Packing sucks.

Coming from a line of hoarders, I tend to keep shit I don't need. Things I never really needed and will never have a use for. I've eliminated a lot of unneccessary stuff over the course of the last two relocations, but there's still some junk I'm tossing. As a result, I'm unpacking boxes that I never unpacked over the last two moves and I ran across some old WWF Wrestlemania trading cards from 1987. A friend of mine from high school and I bought an unopened box of wax packs at a card show in 96 or 97 for something like twenty bucks and split the packs. I scanned a few of them for your perusal:

WWF Cards 001

WWF Cards 002

The cards with red backgrounds and the WWF logos are stickers. The Hogan picture is the back of the Savage sticker, which shows that you can arrange the backs of sticker cards for a full portrait of Hogan, complete with the old ass WWF World belt. We threw every single Hulk Hogan card away, which wound up being around a third of the box. A lot of the Hogan cards were doubles (and triples), which was a result of shitty collation and made it impossible to complete a set out of one box. I also found my complete set of the Tick Animated Series trading cards and the Mallrats movie trading cards.

I'm glad that Hulk Hogan was repulsive even then. The Hart Foundation stickers are nice.....and any pictorial evidence of the greatness of Tito Santana is worthwhile.

Jeez ... does every pic of Don Muraco look like he just got caught giving Howard Finkel a handjob?

That's Rick Steamboat, not Tito Santana. I do have Tito Santana here:

Tito Santana!

Oh, re: Muraco. It was mid-80s WWF, how else do you think anyone was getting a push.
