Here is the registry.

I am not familiar with the sets passed the 52 Al Haft set.

There are obviously some wrestlers that appear in some of the older sets including the 1933 Sport Kings but those are predominately professional athletes and so they are probably lumped into sports cards.

Rob or Steve who commented above are well versed in the older sets. I am not.

The oldest wrestling cards I own are from 1979.

Sorry I meant the activity itself (fixed bouts for entertainment) not necessarily the cards.

It is my understanding that even the bouts that were thought to be real with Frank Gotch were indeed a work. His famous match with George Hackenschmidt was in 1911.
