I just received my latest FG order of the legendary ladies set and a few special edition cards I needed from a while back, and it got me thinking about the true value of the handbooks and why this is one area Champions fans have it way better than legends players. And why would you need a handbook when they are real life wrestlers and everything you need to know about them is online? Allow me to explain.
The ladies set does not come with a printed handbook, same with many of the legends sets. That means the cards just ship in a standard size first class envelope (which is what it is, not the issue I'm driving at). The handbook means two things: the set has to ship in the larger envelope that affords more protection, and the cards get stuffed into the middle of the book providing yet another layer of safety to ensure the corners of the cards don't get all bent up in shipping.
So for you COTG guys who think you're getting the crap end of the stick recently, you've at least got that one thing over legends.
TLDR: the handbooks double as an added layer of packaging protection to keep your cards from getting beat up on the way to you.

The PDF handbooks have been a regular thing for awhile now. Only a few select sets like GWF, Centra and main LOW sets get books these days.
FTR and Return to Civilization were always PDF books.

And why would you need a handbook when they are real life wrestlers and everything you need to know about them is online? I see this is being even more true as you're not allowed to say any major promotion's name in the bio. No former WWF champion or AWA tag champ, etc. That is one of many things I've never understood about FG.
