2023 GAS Arnold Schwarzenegger: Built to Perfection trading cards do a couple of things. First, they commemorate the 55th anniversary of his first pro bodybuilding victory at the 1968 Mr. Universe Competition. The limited edition release also offers collectors a chance at Arnold Schwarzenegger autographs.
Packaged together as a premium two-card set, body showcase the future Terminator and California governor from his bodybuilding days.
Each card is printed on 130-pt. stock. They’re thick.
Besides the base versions, there are five standard parallels, which combine to land 1:6 sets:
- Blue Foil Prism – /50
- Red Foil Prism – /20
- Rainbow Foil Prism – /10
- Gold Foil Prism – /5
- Cosmic Foil Prism – 1/1
A limited edition set of Cracked Ice parallels was sold separately (and promptly sold out). These have 100 copies each.
As for autographs, they’re just 1:9 sets and all signed on-card. Base versions are numbered to 20 with Red Foil Prism (/15), Rainbow Foil Prism (/10), Gold Foil Prism (/5) and Cosmic Foil Prism (1/1) parallels also available.
The cards themselves come already in a one-touch. However, the larger packaging is done with an embossed tin with Arnold Schwarzenegger posing and shaped to mimic a weight.
Standard sets cost $50 and $75 for the sold out Cracked Ice versions.
Cards are available on the GAS Trading Cards and NTWRK sites.
