Benchwarmer 2005-2006 Hard Rock Cafe cards
Back in 2005, BW did what was apparently a 7 card set (they are #ed HRC 1 of 7, etc) for an event at the Hard Rock Cafe. In 2006, they then did a 4 card set.

Six years later,I have only seen 5 of the 7 cards on the 2005 set:

2- Carrie Stroup
3- Heather Schirra
4- Aubrie Lemon
5- Nicole Bennett
7- Marla Esposito

I have seen all 4 of the 2006 cards, but up until recently (last year), I never saw #3--

1- Mary Riley
2- Shay Lyn
3- Zoe Gregory
4- Cecille Gahr

Has anyone ever seen the 2 "missing" ones on the 2005 set ? I have never seen them turn up on ebay...

From the 2005 set, I have the same 5 cards that you listed. From the 2006 set, I have #3 and #4.

I haven't seen the missing ones you mention but honestly I don't look very hard for them...

Some of the ones your after are the same as the ones i'm after, they must have been a real limited release.
I still need #1,#6,#7 from the 2005 set and have all 4 from the 2006 set.

Good luck finding them.

Well, after 6 years of searching, for the very first time, I have seen the card # 6 for the 2005 Hard Rock Cafe set. It exists. It shows Lisa Ligon in a cowboy hat

I did an ebay search and noticed that it sold a few weeks ago for $ 13. No, I was not the winner

I still have yet to see card #1

Here's another Benchwarmer "mystery card"...

Back in 2006, BW did some cards that supposedly came attached to or inserted in a boxing magazine called Knockout

For years, I have seen card S2 of Colleen Shannon. Has anyone ever seen S1 or any other number ? I have not

I saved this image ages ago as reference, they did not show the back of the card



I hope this helps.

Rob, I finally saw the Knockout promo you posted on above (April Scott) and the back is unnumbered. As I mentioned, there is also an S2 of Colleen Shannon.

Who knows if these were the only two cards inserted in the magazine, or if there were others. Unfortunately, know one seems to recall what Benchwarmer did back in 2006...not even Benchwarmer !

Correction--both Knockout cards are unnumbered. There is no S2, despite what some auctions may say.
