Introducing The Special Elite Gold Edition

[whlineup]

Hey guys, as a Baseball Card Collector, I have come to appreciate those special CHASE cards or #'d card of an autograph, etc.     I decided to create a Chase card set in my FG Bootlegs.    The first card I have selected is the CM Punk card.   First of all these photos are crap as they were from a scan and don't do justice to the card like the printer prints like usual.    What I can tell you is these cards have a slightly different background, as the CM Punk regular card has mainly a black background and these have a blue color in them.   The whole card front and back has a gold background and the front has a special holofoil type coating that covers the whole face of the card, that my printer did a good job coming up with something like this for me.

Only 10 of these exist and there will be no more every produced than 10.    

The first 7 cards of these are being gifted to some special people!

1. Vegas   Zeke!    What can I say but how much he does for us.   I have been with him for a lot of signings over the years at ROH, etc.    CM Punk is his favorite wrestler!   Thanks for all you do Zeke.


2. Chad Olson   Chad Olson
3. Cory Olson  Cory Olson
4. Mike M      Mike Melesky
5.  Tournament Master  Todd

The above four guys do so much for us and I consider each of them good friends of mine.    I have been in Waterloo and witnessed some of the great signings these guys have completed and am always impressed of how professional these guys are when they are in action.   Thanks guys for ALL you do for this game company.

6.  throwingtoasters  Grant Baciocco   Grant has been so generous with these campaigns and will be the highest donator by far.   Every set I put out, Grant is right there with a 3 digit donation.   Not to mention his generous offerings of the CWFH cards.  Thank you Grant!

7.  malicelover   Barry Walsh      I love that Barry has jumped in and helped support the cause that is so dear to my heart in the Waterloo HOF.    I know how much time, effort, and money this is and I wanted to really say thanks and recognize him for these efforts.    Thanks Barry!


The remaining 3 will end up in circulation most likely through an auction type format.   Stay tuned for the first auction announcement of the first card.   Proceeds of course to Waterloo HOF.

Look for more of these special short printed cards coming in the future.

Whoa! For some reason ProBoards didn’t notify me of this tag. This is super cool! Thank you!

[Cory Olson]

Thank you for this, Will, and for all that you do for the game and the TNT HOT!

Cool idea

[Tournament Master]

You are truly the Best in the World Will. This sounds super cool.

Hmm interesting.

Will, this is such a touching gesture. Honestly, the goal was two-fold in my mind: One, benefit the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall Of Fame and this wonderful community with a fundraiser that provides a gift to those who wish to donate; Two fill “gaps” in the Legends and Indies lines of wrestlers who do not yet have cards that I would enjoy playing with.

If I have come close to accomplishing the first goal, that is all that is important as I know that the second is easier and truly is happening. Wait until the final six Cards For Charity come out this year, and the ELEVEN(11) for next year!

OK guys! Now that the first 7 of these CM Punk cards have been sent out. I have decided to Auction Off card #8...........remember only 10 will ever exist. This auction will end on Tax Day! April 15th at midnight and all proceeds will go to the Hall of Fame!

Please PM me, email, or whatever you would like to do your bid. I will update this site every few days to let people know where the bid stands. Good way to use your tax refund!!
