Thanks to the huge response by Wax Heaven readers in the Pop Century contest, Brian Gray has decided to share two mock-ups of autographs that will be included in the upcoming non-sports release in 2010.
The first card is of comedian/actor, Christopher Lloyd, who is likely best remembered as the wild-haired “Doc” in the ‘Back to the Future’ movie trilogies. According to the Internet Movie Database, the 71-year old actor has over five projects in the works.
The second card is of everyone’s favorite blond from the E! reality TV show, ‘Girls Next Door’, Kendra Wilkinson. She has an autograph in 2009 Upper Deck Spectrum but I think I like the Razor edition a lot more.
Other celebrities who have already signed their Pop Century cards include popular music act, Pink, Star Trek legend, William Shatner, Lord of the Rings alum, Sean Astin, celebrity disaster, Kim Kardashian, and veteran actor, Richard Dreyfuss.
The Razor contest has been extended until Friday.
















Chasing Nostalgia Pt. 5
15 11 2009Every collector starts somewhere. For me, it was 1990 Classic WWF trading cards. This was my first foray into trading cards and despite showing its age, this set still looks great close to twenty years later.
You must remember, this is 1990 we’re talking about. Don’t expect to find any memorabilia cards or certified autographs. You can however, rely on some excellent photography, both in studio and action shots.
If you’re a wrestling fan from the 80’s and early-90’s, you will find all your favorite superstars from yesteryear. From Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior, to those well-known “jobbers” like Brooklyn Brawler. Everyone is represented.
Being a fan of Classic, especially in baseball, this WWF set might actually be the best work they have ever done. From personalized cards with the wrestler’s logos and more, to entertaining and informative card backs.
If you can find a set for under $10 dollars, it’s a must-buy product.
Information:
Current eBay price – $15+ for a factory set

Look for – Lots of nostalgia-inducing images
The Good:
