1991 Championship Marketing WCW

In 1991 this brand called Championship Marketing released the first ever World Championship Wrestling card set. The set featured 110 base cards and whopping 110 puzzle cards. Good luck on collecting those puzzle pieces. After years of trying find boxes or even packs of this set I finally found it at mall in Hayward, CA during family reunion vacation.
