In
the early 1980s, when I first really started to watch wrestling, the Junkyard
Dog was one of my favorite wrestlers. At the time there were virtually no
wrestling cards besides the 1985 Topps WWF set so picking up any JYD cards
during his wrestling days is very limited. I do have a number of his 1985 Topps
cards and his 1987 Hostess but this was the first time I came across his 1986 Monty
Gum Super Wrestling Stars card. I guess not including “Juneyard” in my search kept
this beauty from showing up.
After
I came across the JYD Monty Gum card by accident I looked to see who else was
on the checklist and I found this amazing Hulk Hogan & Muhammed Ali
card. I remember Thunder Lips fighting the ultimate meatball in Rocky III, not
Ali. Maybe I am remembering the movie wrong.
