The (Wrestling) card of the day is …
The best wrestling card of today (one that’s actually tacked to my bulletin board in a penny sleeve) is the Topps WWE Heritage IV card of Hornswoggle, the diminutive WWE Superstar who was once the company’s cruiserweight champion.
Be sure to read up on Dylan Postl‘s Wikipedia bio. Classic stuff — particularly his former NWA Wisconsin gimmick.
Believe it or not, Hornswoggle has been around three years already — and yet he doesn’t have a certified autograph card. (Get on it, Topps! This can’t be a lucky move.)
The card above is actually his second card, while his “Rookie Cards” come in the 2007 Heritage III and WWE Action sets.
The Action card can be seen at right (missing its foil stamping). Unfortunately, it’s still on my want list.
