The 2008 Ring of Honor wrestling cards checklist proves that one doesn’t have to be big to be spectacular. The set has six cards, but they represent some of the earliest cards of several wrestlers who would go on to be major stars, including Bryan Danielson Daniel Bryan.
The cards, the first in ROH’s history, were released as a bonus in a handful of specially marked DVDs including “Bloodstained Honor” and “Stars of Honor.”
With only one card per DVD, getting a set was tough. When you consider that ROH didn’t have the same reach as WWE, that likely means the print runs were small from the start. The end result? A series of cards that’s both important for offering the first card of a generational superstar and incredibly difficult to find.
Besides Daniel Bryan, the checklist also includes Austin Aries, the Briscoes, Chris Hero, Nigel McGuinness and Roderick Strong. They might not have the same level of fame, but all are incredibly respected.
Cards are over-sized measuring 4 3/4″ x 7 3/4″.
