I dont know if anyone does this kind of thing, but I just finished printing off some custom covers for my WWF Superstars of Wrestling sets (1986, 1987 and 1988);

Someone else made the 1986 set, but I did the 87 and 88.

I like to make custom covers for wrestling shows. I've only actually printed off some of them though, A few Nitro years (99-01) and Monday Night Raws (96-02). I'm hoping to eventually finish printing Nitro 95-98, but they use a fair bit of ink lol

Curious if anyone else does this.

Where did you get your superstars of wrestlings sets? Did you buy them or are they burnt ones.

I need to get myself a set of those and if I did I'd buy a copy of the covers off ya.

Thanks MeLoCo, I'm not usually a fan of 'spine sets' because its usually a hit or miss if they do line up correctly. While these ones are still slightly off, they came out better than i expected.

Yeah they are erm.. 'copies' from original broadcast episodes, no WWE 24/7 stuff. Pretty good quality for their age too.

How much would you charge to make me a 2011 Raw set of slips?

I wouldn't charge anything if I did make 2011 covers, I just do it for fun. I'll have to look around for some high quality resources such as stages, frames and what not.. depends what I can find..


At the moment i'm working on Prime Time Wrestling:

What do you think is a fair price for superstars with the covers. I'm serious they look great.

On a bit of a stand still with my Prime Time cover.. on the hunt for some HQ photos of the hosts behind their desks.. but the WWF Magazines I have, have little coverage of the show.

Saturday Nights Main Event.. six or seven covers to be made eventually...

This is my current work in progress.. obviously the current photos are just for a placement test.

Oh here is how Prime Time Wrestling turned out;

Ended up doing 4 covers, with different photos on the back per cover.
