Alex Bliss Stickers from Topps UK

 Topps UK WWE: As part of my June order from Topps UK I picked up some individual stickers of Alexa Bliss who is my favorite current wrestler.  She's also perfect to kick off the month of October as she ties in well with Collecting Cutch's Save Second Base campaign.  He does this every October to up breast cancer awareness.  Check out what he does and you can visit the National Breast Cancer Organization to donate or get educated. 
Definitely some cool Topps WWE cards come out of the UK in the form of Slam Attax which couldn't be produced in the US due to copyright issues or so I read somewhere.  This is my first look at some of the stickers and I love that you can purchase individual stickers from the site.
The stickers come from the Raw vs NXT vs SmackDown Live and 2021 - The Road to Wrestlemania sticker collections.  The Last Sticker is a good place to find checklists which aren't as readily available as I'd hoped.  Big fan of both of these stickers.
I also couldn't find photos that easily so I just grabbed some random Bliss stickers.  Good thing I picked up both of these or I'd been irritated.
Alexa is definitely a dynamic force in the WWE right now. Changed up her persona some lately but still fun at heart. Love the photo on this sticker.  Just showing these off and I hope you enjoyed.

Random Wax: 2019 WWE Women's Division Blaster

 

2019 WWE Women's Division: Found this one still on a shelf at a Wal-Mart I don't get to much and I couldn't pass this up. And it ties in perfectly with October because if anyone makes you want to Save Second Base it's these gals.  Please check out Collecting Cutch and his Save Second Base campaign.  He does it in a fun way each year and recently did his 100th post in support of this great cause.  October is breast cancer awareness month and donations to the cause can be done here.  Alexa Bliss is my favorite gal from the WWE and I really enjoy finding her cardboard.
Roster cards make up a good portion of your pull and are always appreciated even with these static photos.
Plenty of variety in these blasters.  These are Evolution highlights.
These Trish and Lita Highlights come one per pack.
In ring photos are great.  Definitely something I look forward to in these sets and all Topps wrestling sets.
Always enjoy seeing retired legends.
My relic.  My last blaster of these I pulled a relic as well though it was a parallel numbered #/75.
These are always fun and this really was a good box.  I like my pull and enjoyed seeing all the ladies of the WWE.

2011 Bench Warmer Bubble Gum

 

2011 Bench Warmer Bubble Gum: These are perfect for October.  Why?  Because the Collecting Cutch blog is doing his annual Save Second Base campaign to raise awareness for breast cancer (October is breast cancer awareness month).  So you really can't go wrong with any of these cards but we'll start with Paige who looks to be a basketball fan and we are in the middle of the NBA Finals.  
Another NBA fan while Jessica just looks all sporty.  The designs here are pretty simple but it's hard to screw up lucky ladies like these.  Really I do like the clean look that shows off the ladies.  
The backs are easy to look at as well...on both accounts.  There are stats, a face close up and another full size photo.  Again this is a pretty clean look and I'm on board with it. 
You'll see Bench Warmer cards incorrectly spelled as Benchwarmer at times.  A look at the Bench Warmer site will set you straight.  Also this particular set sometimes isn't listed as Bubble Gum but again the site has information available.  And the packs of these do contain wrapped pieces of gum hence the name.  These are always fun and I'm never bummed out opening Bench Warmer packs.  This one isn't my last for the month.  Because I'm supporting Collecting Cutch of course...

BREAKDOWN:
6 – Total Cards
2 – Wrapped Pieces of Gum

Save Second Base Campaign by the Collecting Cutch Blog

 

Collecting Cutch blog does a great job every year in promoting breast cancer awareness with his Save Second Base event in October.  Today he kick started the campaign with a post about Kelly Preston who died this year from breast cancer.  It's something that touches so many and it's awesome someone uses their forum to promote awareness in any way they can.  Everyone should do what they can to help those who fight this terrible disease.  

As John Travolta is her husband the question about our favorite Travolta movie came up.  That's a tough one as he has so many good ones.  Pulp Fiction, Wild Hogs, The General's Daughter, and Primary Colors come to mind quickly.  But my favorite has to be Grease.  That is a movie I can always watch and enjoy so much.  And who doesn't want to sing along?

You should already be reading the Collecting Cutch blog but if not, start and be ready for his posts in October.  He does a good job promoting the cause with ladies you may or may not know.  Thanks to him.
