Slightly different genre I guess as this is Olympic wrestling, but this card -- not expensive though hard to find -- is a favorite of mine.

Arguably the most dominant athlete ever. He had some absurd unbeaten streak until he lost to Rulon Gardner in a controversial Olympic final. A decade or more, I think it was. A fascinating man too, despite what you might assume from his looks he was an avid chess player and a student of the arts and literature. Eventually won elected office.

There are two other great cards in set. Randy Couture and Kurt Angle. I bet if an Angle 9 surfaced it would go deep in the hundreds. |

I believe Rulon Gardner is in that set too. Notable if only for doing the impossible, defeating Karelin.

I remember that match like it was yesterday. Similar feeling to the Douglas/Tyson fight.

I had to sit through a motivational speech this guy gave and it was the worst 45 minutes at a conference I have ever had to endure. |

It is a great card in any grade. Andre was one of a kind and worthy of honor on a trading card.
