I have been on an
old-school wrestling kick targeting some of the greatest to ever put on the
tights. I will cover some of the other recent pickups later but this one is
pretty special. This past July when Roddy Piper passed away unexpectedly the
world was left without the Hot Rod and while he appeared in many sets over the
past two decades his autographs were nowhere to be seen until Leaf released
2012 Leaf Originals. He has a couple of official Leaf and Topps autographs
but when Leaf released 2015 Sportkings Vault and I saw Piper had both
autographs and relics in the set I went on the hunt.
I picked up his Sportkings Vault Single Memorabilia card
and his Autograph card and I was so excited to get them in my hands. If I am
not mistaken I believe his only relic cards are ones that were released in the
2009 Sportkings set and the re-released 2015 Sportkings Vault set.
Awesome pickups! Gotta love Hot Rod!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pick ups. Piper had some of the best mic skills ever. The Pit when he smashed the coconut over Jimmy Snuka's head was my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWith a name like Angus, you have to know that I always loved Hot Rod! Love the bagpipes!
