WORDS BY LINUS SANTOS After the success of MWF Akyson Cards release, Fight Sport Manila teams up once more with The Nutcase to release the Baybayin Cards! These cards are special ones because they are only limited to few wrestlers and not the entirety of Manila Wrestling Federation. In case you didn't know, Baybayin is the ancient Filipino writing system which exist prior and during the 16th and 17th century before it was replaced with the Latin alphabet due to Spanish colonization. The Baybayin Series is a special card set due to wrestlers featured in the series have their names written in Baybayin while embossed in foil plates. Firstly, let's start of with the two first releases of the Baybayin series: Tajiri and Yappy! Tajiri has two parallels: Gold and Green Mist. Both parallels are numbered, with Gold (#/100) and Green Mist (#/50). The Green Mist parallel has the letter E before the number (ex. E1/50) and will be featured in future FSM card releases. Yappy's card has one parallel: red, her main color. Her card is also numbered (#/100). Next in this list Crystal's. Hers in the only kiss card in the series; to which the card is very limited as it is only until 25 copies. With her announcement of leaving for a while, the card's value has increased and is now sought after. The series also features Ho Ho Lun, Southeast Asian wrestling's godfather. Ho Ho's card has two variants: White (#/70) and Green (#/10). Lastly, the series features one of the best technical wrestlers in the world, Zack Sabre Jr.! His has a gold ink variant with a print run of 100. If you want to buy either the card or shirt, you may do so here! With this in mind, are we going to see the Submission Master in the flesh soon? We'll find out. With the wrestling card scene growing here in the country, we really can expect that more cards like the ones in MWF and the Baybayin series to expand reach places that we won't expect.
