Card Show Tuesday #16: Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards
Despite a terrible introduction to a national television audience via a backstage skit on TNA Impact last month, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards have caught on with TNA fans. The (American) Wolves’s fast-paced, hard-hitting offense is something that has been missing in TNA for quite some time.
If TRISTAR releases another TNA trading card product in 2014, there’s a good chance Richards and Edwards will be a part of it. But, you don’t have to wait for a TNA product to get the first licensed trading cards of the Wolves.
Richards and Edwards were both included in the first series of Missouri Wrestling Revival (MWR) cards by Brian Kelley, which has been profiled in past editions of the PWTorch Collectibles Column.
Richards was featured on card #16, while Edwards can be found on card #20. To date, these are the only known trading cards of both wrestlers.
Richards and Edwards are in good company in the MWR set. Kelley included a mix of local wrestlers, independent stars and legends. The most popular card in the set is that of Tyler Black, better known to WWE fans as Seth Rollins. That card sold out quickly and is now selling for around $5 on eBay.
Other key cards in the set include MsChif, Delirious, Trevor Murdock, Angel, U-Gene Dinsmore, B.G. James (Road Dogg back on WWE TV), recent NWA World champion Rob Conway, Larry Zbysko, Jimmy Jacobs, El Generico Tony Atlas, Michael Elgin, the Briscoe Brothers, Bob Geigel, Adam Pierce, the All Night Express, Frank Gotch, Bruiser Brody, A.C.H., Kevin Sullivan, and Harley Race.
Most cards in this set, including Edwards and Richards, are still available for $1.50 each at MissouriWrestlingRevival.com. A full checklist with images is available at .
