Signed Cards: James Drake, Manders, and Brian Milonas

This batch of cards were signed in person at local wrestling events here in Maine.


James Drake
Call him the blue collar bad ass or the new age enforcer either way James Drake is excellent in the ring and I'm glad that Limitless Wrestling brings him in a few times a year.  This card is from the Limitless Wrestling Series 1 card set and I got it signed at Limitless Wrestling Twilight Zone


1 Called Manders
I bought the card from Manders and got it signed at Limitless Wrestling Twilight Zone.  This was first time seeing Manders live and he's a cross between Dr. Death and Stan Hansen and I hope he comes back.


Brian Milonas

My buddy Roy picked these up for me at the IWE Anniversary show on January 4th in Brewer, Maine.  The cards were made by Todd Graham of Proving Ground Brand where you to can get your own custom trading cards made.  Following the link above of catch him on Facebook.  Milonas was selling a 9 card set for $10.

Signed Trading Cards: Baron Von Raschke, Ron Simmons, Eric Embry

We are going to dive into some more through the mail success that I have had, it's been a good few months.


Baron Von Raschke
These two cards are both from the 1986 Monty card set.  I mailed them to the Baron on November 23rd and go them back on December 5th.  The Baron charges $5 for an autograph, which is very reasonable.



Ron Simmons
This was a huge success for me!  I mailed Mr. Simmons four cards from different times in his career and I got them all back signed plus he sent me a custom made card.  I mailed them on November 23rd and got them back on December 7th.
The first card is from the 1988 NWA Wonderama set, I love getting cards signed from this set!  The second is from the 1991 WCW Championship Marketing set.  The thirds is from the 1997 WWF Cardinal Trivia Game.  The fourth card was released in 2007 by Topps and is part of the WWE Heritage set from that year.


This card is the one that I was given by Mr. Simmons.  I've included both the front and the back of the card so you can see the release information.


Eric Embry

I mailed this card on December 13th and go them back on the 21st!  An eight day turn around, talk about fast!  This card is also from the 1986 Monty set.

Signed Trading Cards: Ivan Putski, Jerry Lawler, & Bunkhouse Buck

This batch is also about some recent through the mail success


"Polish Power" Ivan Putski
This card is from the 1985 Topps WWF card set, it is number 46.  I mailed this card to Mr. Putski on October 26, 2019 and got it back November 8, 2019.


Jerry "The King" Lawler
I mailed these cards to Mr. Lawler's BBQ restaurant in Memphis on October 26th and got them back on November 15th.  The card on the right is from the 1997 Cardinal WWF Trivia game and the card on the left is from the 2003 Fleer WrestleMania XIX set.


Bunkhouse Buck
This card is from the 1995 WCW Cardz set, and I believe that this is the only trading card featuring Jimmy Golden aka Bunkhouse Buck.  I mail it to him on November 16th and got it back on the 27th.
