The product is a rare 1987 Wonderama NWA Supercards Test Market Run trading card featuring wrestling legend Barry Windham vs Sting. This special edition card is part of a test market set and is considered a short print, making it highly sought after by collectors. It is the #9 card from the base set and is a promo card that showcases Flair in a promotional capacity during the 1987 season. This unique and limited edition card is a must-have for any wrestling or Barry Windham/Sting fan looking to add a piece of history to their collection.
Licensed by Jim Crockett Promotions and printed by Sheriar Press Inc. on brown back "Kraft stock" cards, the NWA Test Market Run was released in single packs that included seven cards in each pack. Made up of a 49-card base set, a checklist card and a header pack card, the 51-card series was distributed by Wonderama International one year before a wider 343-card release on white card stock. The much rarer Test Market Run set was only sold at convenience stores in and around Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in 1987
The test set featured full-color images of wrestlers without any logos, branding or text on the front of the cards. The backs contain the card number, wrestler's name and nickname, hometown and bios, which include a list of the wrestler's favorite food, color, song, movie and more, giving fans further insight into wrestling stars' lives and personalities.
Key cards from the set include wrestling icons Ric Flair (#1), Sting (#17), Tully Blanchard (#25), Road Warriors (#30), Lex Luger (#35) and Dusty Rhodes (#39). Other standout cards that are showcased in this set include a handful of classic wrestling rivalries that feature matches between Dusty Rhodes vs. Tully Blanchard (#3), Lex Luger vs. Arn Anderson (#7) and Ric Flair vs. Sting (#48).
