Several companies sold very good cartoons as well.  CSB (California Supreme - Bellstone) was one of them.  I can't recall who published the third attachment below.

I mentioned that I am a fan of Judell DuLong and her Amazon Club.  These pics are from a 1975 wrestling magazine.  It's a match between Judell and Nancy Hogle.  I have a few more pics from this match that I'll add later.  Judell's determination shows in the pic of her before the match.  There she stands, hand on her hip, serious look, robe half open exposing her wrestling attire.  I love photos like this.

Great stuff.

It would be great to get all of this into a digital form.

I'll finish my Judell DuLong vs Nancy Hogle match before posting other goodies.  It was copied from the July 1974 edition of Wrestling Monthly.  The magazine cost me 75 cents...

I mentioned B&J Enterprises in my earlier posts.  The girl sitting on top is Lori.  Look at her legs on the second pic.  In the 70s, they sold photo sets.  The third pic is an example of what they used to promote the sale of these pics.

I mentioned that some producers hand wrote notes to their customers.  Judell DuLong for example.  Well, Sheri Whitlow also hand wrote her offerings in the 70s (photocopied).  Attached is an example of what she sent along with a nice glossy pic of her.  Like Judell, she gave very good descriptions of the combatants and the matches.  Once you read what she wrote, you wanted to see the pics...

I'm going to add a few of the lesser know producers that most of you have probably never even heard of.  I mentioned Soowandis in an earlier post.  It was a Canadian company from Toronto that produced wrestling and boxing films and photo sets in the mid 80s.  I just took a pic of the catalog cover to show you that it did exist.  The second pic is of Jamol Mantis from Waterloo, Ontario against Stacey Noble from Western Canada.  In the third pic, Jamol takes on Jan Del-Canto.  The last pic shows Stacey taking on Bobbie Simpson.  I like the descriptions of these matches. There are many other pics with other wrestlers, if you're interested, but I'll leave you with these for now.

Ever heard of the Sunshine Girls or Ringside Productions.  The first two are Sunshine Girls.  The others are Ringside Prod.  Both from the mid to end 80s when you could purchase VHS or BETA tapes.

NEWAWA Inc was around in the late 70s and early 80s.  It was from Torrington Connecticut.  It stands for New England Womens' Amateur Wrestling Association.  Well known wrestler Jo Bray and her husband Jeff published a number of brochures from NEWAWA, titled Grapevine.  They posted the results of tournaments, including the wrestlers' stats, duration of each match, who won and how.  Attached is an example of their Number 8 brochure, dated 1978.  The second pic shows examples of various fights.   I love the third pic.  The caption is self-explanatory.  Remember, this was 36 years ago...

Speaking of Jo Bray, this is a copy of an article published in a newspaper in December 1976.  If you can read it, please do.  It's worth it.

Can you take two pictures of the article? One from each half so it shows up larger...

I would love to read this.

Interesting to see the advertising leaflet for Wrassle Mania this series of bouts were marketed in the U.K.but without too much success possibly due to most of the girls having taken part in a Festelle meeting in London where they fought topless.In fact Zory who is mentioned fighting Sherry made a lasting impression with fans with her superb trim and tanned body.
The other ad is of interest as it features Sheila the Spanish champion,another girl who featured in a Festelle show again topless.I may be insulting her but Sheila always looked a good bit older than the other girls.

Sounds like Sheri knows her audience! A nice personal touch, something quite amiss from today's world where an email can be fired off in seconds.

I've had correspondence with Francesca Le, Goldie Blair and other modern day fighters, but nothing beats a handwritten letter!

Many thanks to everyone who has posted in this thread. So many memories of mags and early videos. Shows some of our younger friends how different the world was before the advent of the internet. A real walk down memory lane.

If there's one thing that the internet has been good for, it's being able to buy videos without the embarrassment of having to take it to the counter!

I remember well the adrenaline as I picked up a video. Who was looking? Who's on the counter? Are there any women around and what will they think?

You don't get that today, it's just numbers on a credit card.
