Like I have done over the last few months, I have started building stashes of some superstars that I feel are flying under the radar a bit. Because of the top heavy nature of the product, there are an absolute shit ton of great deals that can be had for very affordable prices regardless of your budget. I want to spend a bit of time walking through the people I have been targeting, as well as some I am planning on going after. We all want to get the Rock and Bron Breakker, but there are so many other people who deserve the love.

Trish Stratus and Lita

As important as the women have become to WWE’s success, it wouldnt have been possible without both Trish and Lita’s contribution during the end of the attitude era and throughout the reality era. I have picked up some of the higher numbered parallels of both, with Blue, Purple and Orange still being very inexpensive compared to similar stars on the same level. Both have autographs in the product, but picking up a blue for 10-20 bucks seems like a no-brainer.

Carmelo Hayes

Right now, Bron Breakker is the rookie of choice for this product, but I am loving Carmelo Hayes on NXT 2.0. His first cards are right here, and as he always says, Melo dont miss. Unlike some of the other people on this list who have already carved out their legacy, he has yet to really get established in any real form to understand what his long term trajectory will be like. As with every member of the developmental roster, risk is heavily assumed. I think this guy has the tools to be successful anywhere.

Walter/Gunther

When it comes to the black and gold era of NXT and NXT UK, I literally made an appointment to watch every Walter match. He is a monster of a man, and he wrestles with such a style that really isnt present in the WWE system, outside of some of what Drew McIntyre and Sheamus are doing right now. I have bought a few of his cards just because I love his character and presentation, but I seriously think he has some potential to be a long time top of the card heel in the near future. His cards are cheap still, but in terms of a long term hold, Im in. The name change sucks, but it wont even be a thought long term.

Asuka

What is not to love about her? Not only has she accomplished everything there is to accomplish in WWE, but her colorful personality and impeccable work in the ring should have gotten her a lot more. After being injured at Money in the Bank last year, she is finally back, and I cannot be more happy. Her cards have already jumped since the return, but her Prizm stuff is still pretty easy to come by. I wish there was a color blast for her, but maybe we can get it year two. The only drawback to Asuka is that she is already an older star at 40 years old, but as we have seen, age is just a number with her. She hasnt shown it at all.

Rhea Ripley

For someone that has had as much success so early in her career, Rhea Ripley has cooled off a bit with collectors mainly due to the amount of cards she has had in recent products. She is under 25 and already working like a top star, about to open up a new persona as a top heel under Becky Lynch on RAW. While prepping for this run, Rhea has been stuck in tag division obscurity, but I feel like she is about to explode. Ive been picking up her stuff for a while, and her Prizm stuff is no exception. Mark my words, she will be an all timer when it is all said and done.

Seth Rollins

Its hard to put the drip god on this list, because he has been creeping up in value since the beginning of the modern boom. That being said, his cards are still dirt fucking cheap for someone who has been setting the tone for WWE success since 2013. They have purposefully kept him away from a title reign of any sort to ensure he had time to redefine his presence, but I fully expect the story is there for him to take one of the belts off Roman if they want to build to that. Even without another title run, Rollins has already done more on the biggest stage than most of the major prospects driving value in this set. Invest in the visionary!

Austin Theory

Lets lay out the last few months of what Austin Theory has accomplished. Featured with Vince McMahon on TV? Check. Won a US Title? Check. Stunned by Steve Austin at WM after a featured match? Check. This kid is getting the treatment, and I am excited for his future. Although he might actually be the most expensive star on this list, its worth a look to see if you can get some deals on his Prizm parallels. He is as young as Rhea Ripley is, and just set the record for the youngest US title holder in WWE history. If you arent paying attention to him yet, you should be.

Drew McIntyre

Like Rollins, I feel like McIntyre has gotten lost in the shuffle with collectors. He has accomplished a lot, and is still young enough to really make a huge push towards a stint in the main event again. Like Asuka, McIntyre did what he could to carry things through the thunderdome era, but once in front of crowds again, he has been tangled up lower down the card with people not on his level. A rumored push to work with Roman has been everywhere, and I feel as soon as this week we could see him get a shot. His cards are affordable for any collector, and he deserves a lot more value across the board.

If you are one of those collectors that is still ringing the bell around Prizm not being something that everyone can participate in, you are not seeing the massive opportunity to get involved with some of the people on this list, plus others. Sure, Roman Reigns is expensive as hell, but the investment potential in other superstars dwarfs the fun factor of wheeling and dealing with this level of stuff. Just keeping your ear to the ground and following the dirt sheets can give some key indicators on who is next to get the rocket strapped to their back. Prizm provides so many new ways to engage with Wrestling cards, and I have had an absolute blast working in a new environment. Hopefully others have as well.
