New to Collecting Need WWF Hasbros Tips Please

Ebay is where I have purchased all of my figures from, there are other places like facebook, twitter, and amazon, but ebay has been the best option for me. Ebay sellers do, most of the time, over price their items because they have to pay a fee to ebay and paypal - so they up the price to cover the costs. Though, their are times when sellers start their prices really low and you can get a good deal. And some sellers are willing to work with you if they have a "make best offer" option with their listing (though, some are only going to give you five dollars off their asking price). No matter what, you are going to pay a lot to get all 108 carded figures (11 series plus the summer slam set). Ebay is also better than amazon because you can at least see the condition of the figure you are purchasing (I have been burned before when purchasing from amazon). Plus, if the figure comes damaged and/or does not look like the condition that was in the sellers posting, you can return the item. Best thing to do is ask the seller to add a signature confirmation at delivery on the package. This works best if you have a problem receiving packages from your post office.

I have used zoloworld cases for my MOC collection and they seem to do well, also they are a fair price - if you order one-ten at a time they are around $5, if you order more at a time they will lower the cost. However, I think the acrylic cases are better but they are $25-$27 per case, multiply that out over 100+ figure and that will be expensive.

WWF Hasbro didn't do variants, some were just printing errors that were later corrected, like the Kamala with a moon on his belly instead of a star. Also, there are early edition series 1 figures, they came with a lighter blue card color that say ages 5 and up (later editions come with a slightly darker shade of blue on the card and say ages 4 and up). Also, for the early edition Ultimate Warrior, Big Boss Man, and Akeem, their bio cards are different. For early edition Ultimate Warrior, the card says "is the WWF Intercontinental Champion" for later versions it says "won the WWF Title at WrestleMania 6". On the early edition Boss Man and Akeem cards the bio card on the back says "A member of the tag team, Twin Towers", on later printed cards it does not say that. The summer slam editions were series 1 & 2 figures with a summer slam sticker in the top corner (promoting a chance to win a trip to summer slam) they also came with a refractor card of WWF supertars (Hogan, Warrior, Savage, Jake, DiBiase, Brutus, Bossman, Hacksaw, the Rockers, and the Bushwhackers). But the figures weren't any different. I wouldn't say the summer slam edition figures are more expensive than their series 1 or 2 counterpart unless you are bidding against someone who really wants a particular figure. The figures that usually go for the most are Dusty Rhodes, Andre the Giant, Series 1 Macho Man, Series 1 Ultimate Warrior, Series 2 Demolition Tag Team Set, Series 3 Ultimate Warrior, Series 3 Macho Man, Series 3 Brutus Beefcake, Series 3 Koko B. Ware, Series 8 Bret Hart, Series 8 Undertaker, and the entire Series 11 Green Card set (Yokozuna 2, Crush 3, Ludvig Borga, Adam Bomb, 123 Kid, and the Smoking Gunns).

There are large numbers of foreign card figures, mostly Spanish and French.

Hope this helps, good luck.

Forgot to add the printing errors about series 4 Bret Hart, one comes with a pink heart on his shirt and one comes with a purple heart. Neither seems to be more expensive than the other but there are more of the pink heart figures than the purple heart figures.

Pink Heart:


Purple Heart:

WTF I’ve never heard of this

Ne neither lol. Is it just a matter of paint loss maybe from play? What about the purple card version?

So if I wanted to remove an old KayBee Toys Price sticker from the card, should I even attempt, or leave it on there?

I use to use goo-gone to remove stickers. No promises that it won't rip the card at all, but it worked good for me getting rid of all the sticker and not really ripping up or discoloring the cardback.

Weird, but, I only checked a handful of purple carded figures which all showed opened mouth/smiling. I guess they never corrected it. Would be interesting to know why there are two different heads.
