Random Wax: 2019 Topps SummerSlam Wrestling Cards

 2019 Topps SummerSlam Wrestling Cards: This was a fun pack led by this great photo of Triple H.  With the theatrics within the sport good photos should never be in short supply. 

I like the design on the roster cards.  Lots of color which is helpful if you are going  with promo photos.  

Cards showcasing highlights from matches is fun like this one and Charlotte Flair's victory in the first women's Hell in a Cell match.

In ring photos are always the highlight of these sets. That's where the wrestlers are at their best and most entertaining.

Plenty of great matches and photos to go around.

I really enjoyed this pack.  Always gets me excited about the sport and reminds me I need to pay more attention.  Lots of fun and I like the poster card.

2019 Topps SummerSlam Wrestling Cards

Topps is doing separate sets for each of their major events and this Topps SummerSlam set helps everyone get ready for the big event which is just two weeks away (11 August).  I like this set and I really think it is the design of these roster cards that catches my eye.  The photos are the standard "stand there and smile" variety but I like the colors and the way they look.  They seem to pop to me.

The lovely ladies are of course represented well and are always a favorite of mine in these sets.  Great Bayley photo on her card.

The Greatest Royal Rumble card is one of the Lead-Up cards which highlight matches from the past.  I'm not familiar with the Bludgeon Brothers but I like that card.  I really like the Poster Spotlight card with John Cena and Brock Lesnar as well. 

More Lead-Up cards. 

I love this photo on the Triple H SummerSlam All-Stars card.  You get to see so much of the audience behind him and the energy/excitement is pretty cool.

Some have said Topps is being repetitive with their WWE sets this year and there is some truth to that but I like the variety.
