1998/1999 WCW/NWO autograph card values?

rizzeedizzee · 09-19-2011, 03:36 PM

Hi folks - long time lurker making my first post.

What's the story with values on the 1998/1999 WCW/NWO autographs? I see them for sale from time to time on feeBay, but usually it's a case of the big names having huge BINs or of people selling commons that no one seems to want. I ask because I have several dozen and was hoping to get a ballpark guess as to their value.

Are these listed in any type of price guide? If not, is there a consensus on a range of values - like certain ones are over $100, $50-100, etc.?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

In case it matters, the "biggies" I have are Benoit, E. Guerrero, Hennig, Hart, and Sting, plus other "RIP" guys (Bigelow, Bryan Adams).

jdbuzz44 · 09-19-2011, 04:29 PM

It honestly just depends on the day the card is listed...the prices range so much...but most of the bigger names stay in the same range. The WCW Autograph collectors are a very passionate group (including myself)

Sent you a pm

But here are the Usuall selling ranges on the "bigger names" you have:

Beniot: $120-150
Guerrero $150
Henning $150-200
Hart $100-125
Sting 125-175
Bigelow 75-90
Adams 40-60

Hope that helps...some of the "lesser" named guys can command huge money if they have not come to auction in a while or you have a few people bidding trying to complete their set....

There actually is a price guide for wrestling cards now, here's a link to where you can buy it:

The Wrestling Card Price Guide | 2010 Premiere Edition

As with all printed guides, it's really a matter of what people are willing to pay, but the guide is worthwhile to look at and own.

*And no, I am not associated with the guide in any way other than I bought one and happen to talk with the guy that made it once in awhile*

jdbuzz's prices are pretty much spot on, although i have seen benoit go over $200 a couple times on ebay.

bblair_2002 · 09-23-2011, 11:16 AM

Beckett prices them in their Sports Monthly magazines.

geoffyb · 09-27-2011, 12:33 PM

Benoit definitely goes higher than 150 a lot of the time now. His Chrome WWE one brings nearly 100 nowadays.

geoffyb · 09-27-2011, 12:37 PM

also, anymore there really are no commons in this set. The refs sell minimum $12 and everyone else is at least $20. Lizmark used to be a $20 card and earlier this year he brought over $60. The commons are the ones who fluctuate in price greatly. I have seen Alex Wright go for $50 one month and over $200 the next. Beckett has no idea the value of these. They list Psychosis as a common but have Lodi at $40. Most of the time I sell any Lodis I get for $25 and have sold Psychosis for $60-$75

DetectiveChrome · 09-27-2011, 12:49 PM

Wow I have the whole set and two auto's when I use to watch wcw as a teen...time to unload them!

Thanks for the info/thread!

dd316 · 09-27-2011, 02:18 PM

There's usually a huge spike once these guys die (which sadly happens all too often and too young), but those guys still usually settle pretty high.

Have a quick question - I have one of the "unreleased" Mikey Whipwreck WCW autos. I'll never sell it, but anyone know it's value? I paid $20 for it at least 10 years ago and the seller had a lot more he had offered me, sorry I didn't bite on all of them because I now know how rare it is.

geoffyb · 09-27-2011, 03:26 PM

i have had several whipwrecks. sold one over $100 but mostly in the $60 range. if you ever do want to sell let me know as I am trying to build my set back up again.

DetectiveChrome · 09-27-2011, 05:43 PM

I have a Eddy Guerrero, pack pulled in 1998 as a 14 yr old!

pearljam_cubbies · 09-28-2011, 09:11 PM

These are awesome, wish I would've picked up some of these back in the day.

The Madbacker · 09-28-2011, 09:33 PM

I sh!t you not, I had the entire set and broke it up back in 2000.

I paid $135 for mine on ebay about a year ago...but i too have seen them go close too that range

bootan · 09-29-2011, 03:14 AM

Im proud to say, i have the whole set minus 4 which are rarer than rocking horse sh*t

geoffyb · 09-29-2011, 07:49 AM

british bulldog, bookter t, ric flair, rey mysterio?

Only saw the bulldog once a couple years ago on ebay in a random lot of the autos. booker t i have seen a few times but mostly a long time ago. flair probably only has the one auto card out there that has surfaced. mysterio has 50 wcw autos out there that were done at a signing and were signed in various colors and variations. Those show up 2-3 times a year.

geoffyb · 09-29-2011, 08:09 AM

might as well show off some of mine. sorry about scan sizes.

bootan · 09-30-2011, 05:36 AM

another la parka coming your way.............posted today.

anyways those 4 are the ones............depressing really. At least i got this guy.........

geoffyb · 09-30-2011, 09:05 AM

thanks, the other la parka is for a friend of mine who never uses any boards. i need to find out how many versions of the hak auto exist. i know of at least 4.
Those other 4 autos may show up one day but who knows what they will bring. I bet a lot of those things are floating around flea markets.

The Madbacker · 09-30-2011, 09:35 PM

This is such an incredible set. I wish Topps would make a WWE set just like it. Get the old guys in there as well, make it over 100 cards.

I did some research and it seems that I didn't have them all. I had the first 72 cards, I know that but no Mysterio, Flair, etc.

There must've been some sets after I stopped which had more cards.

geoffyb · 09-30-2011, 10:38 PM

you probably had them through the nitro set. the 99 embossed set was the latest one and had a couple bigger names like lex luger, buff bagwell, and steve regal but was lacking the superstars. every box of embossed had an auto, even the retail ones.

pearljam_cubbies · 10-01-2011, 03:27 AM

Aw man, that Ultimo Dragon is beyond sweet, looks like I'm going have to start a new collection, getting a little bored with the current stuff I'm collecting anyway

You're probably right. I had Sting, Hogan, Hitman, DDP, Goldberg, Hall, Macho Man, Guerrero, Nash etc.

jdbuzz44 · 10-01-2011, 09:31 AM

I don't think another will appear any time soon...just fun to look at

Does anyone have a PIC/SCAN of the Bulldog Auto??? thats the one Autograph i've never seen a PIC/SCAN of. I've also heard rumors of a Vampero autograph...
