“The Intercontinental Champion” Autograph Collection - Part 1

I always thought the Intercontinental Championship was the best belt in pro wrestling.  It was for the guy that was rising to the top and was trying to prove he could be the top dog in the company.  Many went on to win the top title, but not all so there is a good mix of wrestlers. From Fan Favorites to Champions to wrestlers that we have forgotten.

So I have decided that I would build up my collection of WWE Intercontinental Champions autographs.  And attempt to have the autograph be on-card when possible.  There are currently just under 100 different champions (if the won under two different names, I am only counting them once), so I expect it to take a few years. And there are some that I may not be able to afford or may not even be available.  I won’t do a post each time I post one on my Instagram account, but I will try to go one every 10 cards or so.

So far I have:

1. Kevin Owens: 2x Champion 





2. Goldust: 3x Champion 



3. Kofi Kingston: 4x Champion 



4. Big E: 2x Champion 



5. The Godfather: 1x Champion (he like the post)




6. Apollo Crews: 1x Champion 



7. Greg “The Hammer” Valentine: 1x Champion (5th longest reign)



8. Kane: 2x Champion 



9. Kurt Angle: 1x Champion 



10. Dolph Ziggler: 6x Champion

2025 Topps Chrome NXT Autograph Blue Refractor Insert Set Build - Finished!!

Image
With Topps acquiring the WWE license, I wanted to do put together one of the numbered sets.  Last year, I completed the Select White Prizm #/125 set (100 cards) and I am still working on the 2022 and 2024 sets.  But with the base set at 200 cards (too many cards) and the SP at 100 cards (cost way too much), I wasn’t going to try one of those.  So I decided to go for the NXT autograph set as NXT is one of my favorite shows. And with it being only 40 cards, to make it more challenging, I am going for the Blue Refractor #/150 set. Update:  I have made good progress during the first 3 months of Chromes release. I am at 32 cards. 7 more to go to completion. 2nd Update:  I have finished set. The only one I can’t find is the Damon Kemp auto. With the set being out 5 months now and not 1 surfacing, I have to believe it doesn’t exist.   First up is Chase U: Andre Chase (2x Tag Team Champion), Duke Hudson (Tag Team Champion), and Thea Hail (future champion!). Next is...

Curating a Legendary Collection of Wrestling Autographs

Image
With so many new products way overpriced, I have been trying to build a collection of both Legendary and Future Legendary autographs. I have attempted to focus on on-card autographs when I can. None of these cards have been posted on this blog before. Legends Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat:   Ricky has been a champion where ever he went. Some of his championships include the NWA United States Heavyweight, NWA World Heavyweight, WCW World Television, NWA/WCW World Tag Team, and WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championships. He is also in the NWA, WWE, and Professional Wresting Hall of Fames. If you want to see some of Ricky's greatest matches, check out his battles against Ric Flair and Randy Savage. Edge / Adam Copeland:   I will always remember Edge for his WWE days, whether it was his Rate "R" Superstar singles run or his or his tag team battles with his partner Christian against the Hardy Boyz and later against the Dudley Boyz. Some of Edge's championships...

Image
Updated: November 2025 Each year, the Giants send out a care package to their season ticket holders and this year’s package (2022) included the Giants banner that you see below. What I decided to do (and probably for the next few years) was to try and get the banner signed by as many players as possible (there is usually a few players that sign at each game). So far, the following players has signed (37 autographs):  OJ Anderson Plaxico Burress Shawn O’Hara Amani Toomer Hakeem Nicks David Tyree Leonard Marshall Jessie Armstead Brandon Jacobs Kareem McKenzie Pepper Johnson Mario Manningham Victor Cruz Ahmad Bradshaw Henry Hynoski Zack DeOssie Chris Snee Corey Webster Rodney Hampton Kevin Boss Prince Amukamara Keith Hamilton  Justin Tuck Howard Cross Sean Landeta Gary Reason George Martin Jeff Feagles Shaun Williams  R.W.
