2016 Leaf Signature Series Wrestling Checklist
By Ryan Cracknell | Hobby Editor
The 2016 Leaf Signature Series Wrestling checklist delves deep into wrestling’s past. The present is also there, but it’s with wrestlers and personalities who have hung around the profession for some time.
The all-autograph release takes a slightly different approach that it’s previous Leaf Originals Wrestling releases. It relies on illustrations versus photos like the past sets, but 2016 Leaf Signature Series Wrestling has traditional dimensions instead of Original’s smaller size. Another other than the cut signatures, this new set uses stickers for autographs.
Speaking of cut signature cards, although have taken hold in many parts of the hobby for the better part of a decade, wrestling isn’t one of them. They exist but only in very limited numbers. 2016 Leaf Signature Series Wrestling is one of the first to offer something that could be considered even remotely comprehensive. But even then, don’t expect them to flood the market.
The 2016 Leaf Signature Series Wrestling Cut Signatures checklist includes lots of late greats. Among them is the first cut signature card of pro wrestling icon Andre the Giant. Many other late-greats from the 1980s and ’90s are also in the set like Randy Savage, Rick Rude, Owen Hart, Earthquake, Bam Bam Bigelow, Dino Bravo and Lord Alfred Hayes.
Not all of the cuts in the product are from people who have passed away. Sting, Ted DiBiase, Superstar Billy Graham, and Demolition members Ax and Smash also have signatures in this part of the release.
Cut signatures are randomly inserted among the product’s regular autograph cards. All are done with a metal frame and are one-of-ones.

I’d pay a pretty penny to get the Andre the Giant auto.
I’m sure it will go for stupid money though.
