The First WWE Topps Now Purchase

I'm not the biggest fan of the Topps Now program, but I do believe it has a place in the hobby.  I had forgotten that Topps has the program for WWE until I was looking for Bray Wyatt cards on eBay shortly after he won the WWE title.

The print runs are obviously much lower on these than their baseball counterparts.  All three picturing Wyatt are still available and I was able to get this one very cheaply.

2016 Topps Now WWE #42 Randy Orton / Bray Wyatt (WWE Tables, Ladders and Chairs/Defeat Heath Slater and Rhyno for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship)

Yes, I'm a grown man.  Yes, I still enjoy pro wrestling.  No, I am not ashamed by it.  You'll be seeing wrestling card posts on here from time-to-time.

I can't say that I have favorite wrestlers like I did as a kid.  However, I love the Bray Wyatt gimmick and how he works the mic.  Thank heavens he is no longer "Husky Harris."

  3. I've picked up a couple of the WWE Topps Now cards. It's nice when you can get a card featuring a memorable moment for one of your favorite wrestlers.

    1. I'll probably pick up the Wyatt and Bayley ones going forward. I am not good about checking the Topps site, though.
