Anyone ever do a card of Virgil after his face turn? I've thought about making one but really have no desire to watch any of his matches.

well... 'superstar' is a serious stretch of the imagination... cannot believe he charged $20 for his signature at GCON...$20 for a never has been...  |

I remember someone I know went to a convention where he had the two-pack of action figures with him and DiBiase and was selling them for like $50. He told my friend to "get the now, man, they're gonna be the hottest things on the pegs." The figures ended up being the biggest shelfwarmers I've ever seen.

Convention I went to with Grant, Virgil had a big tarp sign up above his booth - "Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase and Virgil". His booth was in the main area even though he was supposed to be a "ticket" guest. When DiBiase showed up, he was also a ticket guest. I got my two DiBiase cards signed for nothing. I paid around 20 for 2 Virgil autographs (one on a photo which had him and Andre on it and one on my card, that was my version of haggling). As Travis told me once, everybody has to pay Virgil 20 bucks at least once. I didn't see DiBiase and Virgil together the whole time Ted was there but that might have been because Virgil was in the lobby trying to bum a ride.
He stopped Grant and asked if he could get a ride to the hotel. Grant told him maybe but he'd have to go get me because he didn't want to take off without me. When he got back into the convention room, DiBiase and Volkoff had shown up for their autograph sessions and Roddy Piper was in the middle of the room telling stories on the microphone so Virgil kinda got forgotten a little bit. How bad is it that I got photos with Piper, DiBiase, and Volkoff but couldn't afford to get one with Virgil?
As for the alternate Virgil, would you need to change stats or would it just be an art change?

I would say different stats. Not like a huge change but he was a somewhat improved wrestler after leaving DiBiase so it would be a different looking card. I think you could get away with the same art but new artwork is always good.

I've always wondered who was the IWC's biggest whipping boy - Virgil or Beefcake? (funny we have both in Legends).
