- 3:51can't, like you just it was a spur of the moment thing. However,
- 3:53however, I finished early. I finished early, and I texted and
- 3:59called repeat during the interview for me to come on, and they did not
- 4:02let me in. Well, you texted the wrong Mark Facebook thing. That's
- 4:05why I like pretty sure you said no to like go eat a sandwich,
- 4:11because it was like it was like twenty minutes, no workout, I had
- 4:15to go to the gym. No, we can't, guys, this is
- 4:17just oh yeah, I think Brian was he was nervous that we would bond
- 4:23more than you guys have bonded, because you know, we both work hard.

- 4:47And earlier today he did a professional shoot in his toy room with a
- 4:51perfect background and it was just too much. Man, it just exhausted me.

- 6:04I don't know if you were I will realize ship. I don't know.
- 6:13I don't know if you were on the feed when I said it,
- 6:15but our I'm very proud of this. The micro Brawler four pack is coming
- 6:20like any day now, like any day. The mail sign note Ryan said,
- 6:27it's going to be announced like when and where it's on sales, just
- 6:29so there's not like yes, yes it's as much hystereo, but yeah,
- 6:33it's coming to Pro Wrestling Tease any day. So they will be able to
- 6:38put in for sales soon. So this would be a perfect item to bring
- 6:40to the holiday toy drive and signed all four. That's a that's a great
- 6:46idea. Yeah, it's a really good We're kind of not exactly sure how
- 6:50many are for sale. Maybe it's two hundred. I don't even know really
- 6:54because we've been going back and forth. It's between one and fifty and two.
- 6:57I think like I said, the first ever naked wrestling figure, folks,
- 7:03what did iconic night when that happened? A conic moment and we've turned
- 7:08it into this character and that was going to have a figure with his kid
- 7:14walking through the room. I'm sure I'm relaxed. Did I tell us when
- 7:17Swagging I did Alaska together those two shows last month. I'm looking at Merchant
- 7:20and I'm like, bro, we make stuff for you. You don't sell
- 7:24any of your major pods. And he goes, I'm naked and all of
- 7:28it. People come up to meet me, our little kids that can't be
- 7:31selling these naked on myself. I'mine exclusive see you. So I have so
- 7:42the night that's happened with Swaggle where he was naked upstairs in my apartment.
- 7:46Not my apartment, my house. I just move to my new house.
- 7:50I later find the pictures of naked with the internet title there is a video
- 7:55now took that's right, that's when I fell in loved im, like if
- 7:58she could put up with this. There's the video where you're naked with the
- 8:01protime back. I won't play that here, but there's this other video.
- 8:03It's on my phone. It's where it's where Brian goes to pull off your
- 8:07pants and you take a bump into my laundry. But I think we need
- 8:09to play it. I hit my face on the Will you relax? I
- 8:15have no reflection. Were we go full screen? Your full screen? Okay?
- 8:20Technology here? Yeah? I hit my face right on the ground.
- 8:28I have no memory, rocked in my head. Unbelievable. Sorry, Dylan.
- 8:35I love you all right, thank you, thank you for jumping on
- 8:39you guys, love you. Yeah? Did you know that Mark has silver
- 8:45balls? Like that's how this all came up. I don't everyone know that.
- 8:48They don't know. That's the carpet matches. The carpet matches. The
- 8:52drakes look at these always. It's just for Angel. It's like, really,
- 8:58Broskis or gallows. Wouldn't that be like your ass hair? And then
- 9:01the top would be your pubes? Yeah? Who knows, I don't know.
- 9:05I don't know Hard guys weekly purchases, Guys I used the weed whack
- 9:09or so they're not there. We're invisible. We're invisible now Rick Flair beer
- 9:13that I'm okay, what's the Rick Flair beer called? This is called uh
- 9:22full tilt West Coast Double I p a and it's nothing. It's just so
- 9:28are they a sponsor? Or geez, I'm drinking a beer. I'm just
- 9:33showing you guys what I'm drinking. That's all right, So I'll start with
- 9:37weekly purchases. It was a weird week. Sometimes, I'm sure this happens
- 9:39to all of us. You order something and then maybe you know, gets
- 9:43the layed in the mail or whatever, and then the package shows up.
- 9:46You're like, what is this? Like once a day, So it happened
- 9:50to me today. It happened to me today. And the package was from
- 9:54Europe, the Netherlands to be specific, and it's from the the If you're
- 10:00a Wrestling Figs message board old school member, you know of the legend of
- 10:05stom Rat not stop in Paradise, but stop ye. And he's been he's
- 10:09been out of the game. He's been trying to slowly sell his stuff.
- 10:13And there's something that for some reason was on my save search list, and
- 10:16it was an item that I couldn't find. First of all, when I
- 10:18showed to you, you say, like, why do you even want this?
- 10:22But it was an item that he was selling in a large lot of
- 10:24things. So just to get this item. I had to buy this whole
- 10:26large lot of this stuff. And what I had to buy was the entire
- 10:31WWE stack Down collection. What so the stack down like you do that the
- 10:37stackdown are like fake legos? Right? Yes, but I got this because
- 10:41it's Hogan and Macho. You know what I'm saying. It's very hard to
- 10:46buy entire When I when I say the entire setup, I didn't maybe not
- 10:52the entire set. I don't know enough about these, but it was like,
- 10:54you know, isn't there like a ziggler where he's like a drug dealer
- 10:56and like a motorcycle or so that one I didn't get in here, so
- 10:58maybe I did get them all. I got five or six. I had
- 11:01to get this. Uh, the Hogan and Macho man, it's just one
- 11:05of those weird things that and I collect. Weird Hogan and Macho merched out
- 11:09everything. But this one was really cool, and like I said, it
- 11:11came with a bunch of things. I'm not even like it had like the
- 11:13Wyatt family or like a Daniel Bryant thing. I'm not gonna show all those,
- 11:16but this one is funny. This one I will show. This one
- 11:20is the stack Down of the Rhodes Brothers. Now this, this, this
- 11:26two pac if you Will got me blocked on Twitter from Cody because at the
- 11:33because at the time, this is when he was doing Star Dust. He
- 11:37we know, Cody's an absolute pro and everything he does right, and he
- 11:39was so invested that he refused to admit to even to me that Stardust was
- 11:45Cody. He refused to even admit it to me. But I said,
- 11:48Cody, look, it says the Rhodes Brothers on there, and I tweeted
- 11:52it and he blocked me on Twitter for that. Oh my god. So
- 11:56so I will be sending this to him because is he's kind of been asking
- 12:01me to find his figures and I've been setting him stup and I don't even
- 12:05know if he's displaying it. But I know for a fact he doesn't have
- 12:07this, at least I don't think so, because I didn't get it for
- 12:11him. So again, bro, yeah, well I think I think he's
- 12:16acknowledged now that he was Stardust. But at the time, you know,
- 12:20k Fae was still alive, you know, so he legitimately blocked me because
- 12:24I posted this when it came out and said, see you are Stardust.
- 12:30It's true. It's it's proof, it's proof foreign error, packaging error.
- 12:33So the company who made this the bridge, I guess. So these are
- 12:37just like fake Legos. So I do think if the real Lego company made
- 12:43WW it would be a hit. Yeahs coming together? Yeah, reason bros.
- 12:52Did you pick up Rocky Johnson? I did? You must not be
- 12:56watching our twitch because on the soft launch I axed him. I saw that
- 13:00I watched it, so I got them right here. Oh cool, Yeah,
- 13:03I gret them too from Ringside Collectibles. Uh. Pretty cool. I
- 13:07mean it's so bare bones and basic, but it's still great. You know
- 13:13how sometimes I complain about things. This is like a so Mac Cardona can
- 13:16play and I know it's listen to this, but hear me out. Okay,
- 13:18So we have said and we started something called rude Gate when they package
- 13:26I don't know if you know about this, Uh Rick Rude. They they
- 13:28shipped him with his robom and the material from the robe stained the skin underneath,
- 13:35and we we dubbed it rude Gate, and we we we we brought
- 13:39to Metel's attention, and to their credit, they fixed it. So they
- 13:41started shipping Rick Rude and and figures after that with the robes and stuff on
- 13:46the side, and that's how this Rocky Johnson came. Yes, but my
- 13:50big was like, ooh, like that not is so perfect, Like how
- 13:54do I do I unknot that to tie the knot myself. I do kind
- 13:58of agree with your cyclists, like you need to analyze it. So what
- 14:03I did was a picture and try to get it is. So what I
- 14:05did was like a real psycho. I kept it like it was. I
- 14:09just kind of slipped and slidered them for like ten minutes to get them because
- 14:13but that was so nice. I didn't want to mess it up. That's
- 14:16actually kind of you know what I'm saying. And then it was all like
- 14:18it was all the shovel that I had to like move everything around, but
- 14:22like this is such a good knot. That's like I do with my daughter
- 14:26and her barbies. Yeah, oh dude, how hard is it? Barbie
- 14:30clubs? Why why do they take the clothes off because they have to change
- 14:33they for two days in a row. Bro, It's a real dad.
- 14:39Can you do this? Also in that set was finally the long awaited Viking
- 14:45Raiders. I went and grabbed them. I hate saying their names to this
- 14:50day, Oh look at you. Mark. I barn Eric, Yeah,
- 14:54I barn Eric Hanson. And we're never called the worth the wait one.
- 15:00We said, I think maybe in modern times it might be the most toyata
- 15:03guys on the roster right now. So to finally get done, and we
- 15:09came him to a lot of ship because they've been on the roster for over
- 15:11a year and a half and and and they checked off all of Bill's boxes.
- 15:16You know, there should be no excuse, but they're unreal. They're
- 15:24on unreal the way it's like a marvel, like a yeah, the way
- 15:28they're unbelievable. The tattoos, the armor, the rock and roll hands.
- 15:35I mean, it's like it's pretty epic trivia. Back. Our last w
- 15:41W tag team match and our last tag team match together was against the Viking
- 15:43Raiders, and that was on pay per view. And I'm making my return
- 15:48to pay per views with all you get the page here also a tribut my
- 15:56last ww matches against the Viking Raiders. Speaking of ringside, I got something
- 16:03else now It's something I've already had, but I needed it to. I'll
- 16:07explain a second. I got a little bit of the bubble the ring side
- 16:11exclusive, A w exclusive. Now, I got this month ago when it
- 16:15came out. Of course I opened it, I let it breathe, I
- 16:18displayed it. But I have all the ae w H Series one mint in
- 16:23package, so it was only fitting that I get another one of these when
- 16:26they finally got back in stock. So the tote them up. That's it.
- 16:33And I don't even know if I'm gonna do like series two and on,
- 16:37but I have all Series one. You have to you train them.
- 16:40JF. Well, I mean, are you familiar with my with my rules
- 16:45for for wrestling for your collecting. No, I was actually looking around my
- 16:49room and I was gonna ask you if this bothers you. No, No,
- 16:57No, I don't breathe. No, that's fine. I think that's
- 17:02great. But my rule for collecting wrestling figures that is is that so we
- 17:07made our WWE debut in two thousand and seven, so that's when I consider
- 17:11that we like made it. Right, So if a figure depicts after two
- 17:15thousand and seven, like, I don't collect it. I don't buy it
- 17:18because I only do stuff that was before I made it, If that makes
- 17:22sense. I so like when you were like a fan, right right,
- 17:25So for instance, so if Mattel makes the WrestleMania twenty twenty taker, I
- 17:30don't get it. Oh disgusting, but now but if now you know,
- 17:36we'll talk about it later. They're making like a Undertaker in the Purple with
- 17:40the mask that comes out in twenty twenty, but the picks ninety six.
- 17:42Oh I need it. See, I'm like, I'm with that. Yeah.
- 17:48Julian has a very similar rule because if it's Dwayne Johnson, he collects
- 17:52it. Right. Are you going to get Rocky Johnson to put on your
- 17:56oh Rockey Johnson. You didn't see my face when he pulled it out.
- 18:02Hey. Yeah. So that's why I stopped collecting wrestling toys. Was like,
- 18:07once it once it became like my job. I was like, I
- 18:10don't want my hobby to be my work. Sure, yeah, and you
- 18:14said that. When you said that, I was kind of like, So
- 18:17that's that's why I that's weird, That's why I kind of I never thought
- 18:22of it like that. It was. So that's why I cut it off
- 18:25at two thousand and seven. And sometimes I make exceptions, like, for
- 18:27instance, they just made a Kofi Kingston uh, and it's called like the
- 18:32Decade of domination because Mattel has been with WW for ten years, so it's
- 18:36after two thousand and seven, but it's still considered a throwback and my good
- 18:40friend. So I kept that. But these aw figures, this breaks all
- 18:42my rules. But I was just going to have the whole series. I
- 18:45just thought it was so cool that we have a new company making new figures.
- 18:48It felt like, you know, the Monday Night Wars are back with
- 18:52like toy bas versus Jacks. So I had to get these figures. That
- 18:55had to check them out, so right, So I think I'll keep the
- 18:59whole first set, but I don't think I'm gonna continue on. And they're
- 19:03great figures, but that where do I draw the line? Hold on?
- 19:06Hold on that Cody? That's a Chase? What series is that? Series
- 19:11one? It's a Chans technically series one? So I have I have the
- 19:18rings, the belts, and I'll just put those in a nice tote.
- 19:21You know. Yeah, I guess, but you know Canada doesn't have any
- 19:26well neither does the United States, So yeah, I guess they're not in
- 19:32Canada then, because there's no Walmarts dots. Yeah, didn't they go to
- 19:40Toys r us in Canada. I haven't seen any like I have fans asking
- 19:45me to pick them up and smuggle them back in. I wouldn't buy them
- 19:48from damn. Uh what did you pick up this week? Yeah? Say
- 19:55what did you scoop up? Brother? So if you if anybody watched your
- 19:57original interview, they know that you collect Marvel figures, comic book figures,
- 20:03things like that. Yeah. I think I think the biggest pop will be
- 20:07from Matt. Actually, I uh, I don't do Star Wars much like
- 20:11you can probably see like this little section. I didn't even know you.
- 20:15I didn't know you dabbled Wars. I do very very they released. I
- 20:22saw in Target a couple of weeks ago. It was from the Cantina at
- 20:26Disney, So I had to pick the DJ. Yeah J now that I
- 20:30have that, I saw this Hondo the Falcon Ride, and I was like,
- 20:37I gotta grab it. Have you done Galaxy's Edge? Oh yeah?
- 20:40Like fantastic right? Yeah? You need those? Yeah? So I had
- 20:44to grab these. And my wife won't get hot at me for buying these,
- 20:47because you know they're for her too, because she experienced the park with
- 20:49me. So I appreciate what I like. Loophole What were your thoughts on
- 20:57the Falcon Ride? Like blew my mind. And I was not even the
- 21:03pilot until I wrote it for like the third time. Then I was like,
- 21:07oh, this is unreal. I hated it. What I I loved
- 21:12walking up see the Falcon right, like, oh my god, right,
- 21:17because it's the scale, it's incredible. I love the cue, I love
- 21:19the Hondo animatronics. I love the story of the ride. I love before
- 21:23you go in there and there's the you know, the little chests whatever table
- 21:26and then you get into the cockpit and it's so great, and it's like
- 21:30and then the bell rang. It's like I didn't I want it, Like
- 21:33I prefer Star tours. I just want to sit back and have the craziest
- 21:37rye experience ever. I don't want like my my trip to be you know,
- 21:41based on if the pilot is good, you know, the gunner and
- 21:45my trip was so bad I wanted to puncher in the face. I understand.
- 21:52I understand that because when I was the pilot, I was up and
- 21:55down at a three year old left and right right, getting any I'm the
- 22:00cargo guys, no, So yeah, I understand that for sure. If
- 22:03you get six of your buddies in there. That's the best, right,
- 22:07got to do that. Yeah, we'll do a major w pod retreat and
- 22:12we'll go to Disney Disney. I want to do it so bad. I
- 22:15just want Brian to go. He would love it. I would make him.
- 22:18I would like, what do you mean you want to do my audio
- 22:22cut? I was trying to explain this to you on Twitter. I have
- 22:25offered him the stories. But when we were in France to go to euro
- 22:30Disney, I would pay for us to go. He turned me down and
- 22:32went by I went without him, and then you could have went on read
- 22:36it to what do you do? And then we'll that uh same thing with
- 22:42Tokyo Disney and Tokyo Disney c. He didn't want to go. I went
- 22:45by myself. I went by myself too, because no one would go with
- 22:52me there. How do you not go? Zero interest pal? I mean
- 22:57when Mackenzie she's that you might never go now World dot five, you,
- 23:03Lily might never go back to Japan. That's a possibility. I mean,
- 23:07well, well, now that we're talking about Disney, let me let me
- 23:08segue into another weekly purchase I got and when you before you do that,
- 23:12when you go to Disney with your daughter, it's going to change your life.
- 23:15Oh yeah, that's all. Yes, that's and I'm okay with that.
- 23:19But I don't not want to go with Cardona. Like when I could
- 23:25sleep in and get a workout and that's it, Like you can do both
- 23:29anyway to make those things happen. Well that particularly day, no, okay.
- 23:33So anyway, I always say like I'm on the fence about my funko
- 23:36pop collection. Am I just gotta cut bait or what? But then they
- 23:38made it's a sixty fifth anniversary of Disneyland this year, which, of course
- 23:41Disneyland is not even open right now. It's crazy. But they made these
- 23:45funko pops depicting some classic ride So I love this Mister Toad's Wild Ride.
- 23:49So I had to pick this up. This is the sixty five anniversary.
- 23:53I'm gonna let this baby breathe. So it's like the mister Toad in the
- 23:56actual ride vehicle. And then this was really a jumbo pop. It's called
- 24:02it's like he's bigger because he's in the vehicle, looks massive and it's not
- 24:06like a regular sized pop that figure. No, no, the figure is
- 24:08but he's got a vehicle, you know of the scales like that. Okay,
- 24:14right, and then I also got this. This is the the mini
- 24:18Mouse riding the dumble My god, where'd you get that? Amazon? And
- 24:25what is that? Like? So this is this is Many riding the Dumbo
- 24:30the elephant ride. That's cool. So so I don't even know, guys,
- 24:34I was today's years old when I knew there was When I found out
- 24:37there was ride figures, I had no idea there was Star Wars ride figures.
- 24:41That's Mark, you find me. Yeah, there's there's there's haunted mansion,
- 24:49pops. There's one that's in the ride though. Yeah, yeah I
- 24:53have that. Of course, of course I can't find it. But I
- 25:00got those, And uh, I don't know what I'm doing with this funk
- 25:03your collection because we talk about real estate all the time. I'm maxed out.
- 25:06I Brian, dude, tote them up. Wait until you get that,
- 25:10uh that mansion in Massachusetts. I don't designated Mark, right, I
- 25:15have a designated funkal wall and it is already maxed out. So I don't
- 25:19know what I'm gonna do. But then I don't wanna. I don't want
- 25:22to knock get these funk goals because some of them spike up really quick.
- 25:25Yeah, yeah, you gotta just tote them up. Baby went in doubt
- 25:27by yeah, I mean foam always real. So whatever, all right,
- 25:33let me talk, let me rifle through some of these marble legends. Now
- 25:37is the serious thing everyone trying to turn me on today? We we did
- 25:45that interview and and you literally said, I mean it's sort of like changed
- 25:48my my thinking. Oh yeah, I guess I didn't really tell you this
- 25:52Mark like his life that day. My buddies, my buddies are, My
- 25:57buddies collect the Hasbro figure and they always they just say like they collect you
- 26:02know, the Marvel and the Power Rangers and the Gi Joe's now and they
- 26:06always say like it's it's just so much better than Mattel. Like my one
- 26:10buddy says, f Mattel all the time, Max Smash Master. It's easier
- 26:14to find, they're they're cheaper, you don't have to spend a million dollars
- 26:18on them. The accessories are always better, the figures are always better,
- 26:22just like praising Hasbro. And I had been thinking about doing like an X
- 26:26Men collection because I liked X Men like more than wrestling for years and then
- 26:32but like we said, I think we said somewhere you can't become an X
- 26:36Men, but you can become a professional wrestler. So that's where the business
- 26:38goes, right anyway, So your thing when you were like, you know,
- 26:44I started to collect this stuff because I didn't want my hobby to be
- 26:47my job. And then I'm like, okay, let's rock and roll.
- 26:51So literally after that, I just started buying up like all the classic X
- 26:56Men figures. And I'll say this again Thursday night, eight o'clock, I
- 27:00will be unboxing forty plus Marvel Legends figures on this Twitch with Max snash Master
- 27:06and Dan Shepherd. But so real quick, I'll go through a couple that
- 27:10I got Mark Kolona and your brother's a douchebag, Ross, I got this,
- 27:15sent me that the Rogue. Now, please, I got I don't
- 27:22even want these figures, but I wanted to mention this to you guys.
- 27:26It's Deadpool, two different deadpools. But the build a figure. Okay,
- 27:30I want sore On Yeakay, he's the guy. Yeah, so he's the
- 27:37really awesome figure. Now when you build this figure, it's huge, it's
- 27:40it's humongous, so I'm looking to get this one. For example, this
- 27:45deadpool it's for the I'm looking to get the build a figure peace right,
- 27:48But on on eBay it's like fifty something dollars. But I bought the figure
- 27:55for thirty. So I'm just gonna get even if I sell the figure for
- 27:59ten in box loose little a little coupons. Uh page. Let's just just
- 28:06spark the something in my head. As a card guy, if there's an
- 28:10awesome build a figure like that, you just eat that. You can't.
- 28:12You can't, you can't. I uh look, whoa. That was not
- 28:22what I was expecting you to say. Wow, I have to show you
- 28:25guys then, just so you understand how serious these building figures are. It'll
- 28:27take me two seconds. This is a visual thing though. All Right.
- 28:30While he's doing that, I'll just say this real Hardy Heft He said,
- 28:34what do you look? I'm at a connect I'm at a convention. What
- 28:37are you looking for? I said, silock, He got me that,
- 28:41thanks, Hardy Heft party halfed. I d MD him because he posted something
- 28:44I needed. He ignored me. Yeah, good job. These are the
- 28:48doubles. Oh my god? Those Yeah, well, I do figure photography,
- 28:55so I'll just keep them for that. But yeah, okay, that's
- 28:56smart. He's got like a hidden Instagram nobody know. Yeah yeah, yeah,
- 29:04so real quick. I did the signing on Sunday. Uh went to
- 29:10the Holy Yoak Mall to check out Heroes hide Out. It's a it's a
- 29:12brand new store right by me. You guys went to this store in Pennsylvania.
- 29:17It's it's in upstate New York or something. Is there? Two?
- 29:19Now is where it is? Now? No? No, they're expanding.
- 29:26There's this is the second one and there's gonna be another one. And I
- 29:30I'm shopping and the guy goes, are you Mark Sterling? I said,
- 29:33yeah, it's Stash Gordon, who's in the chat right now? Is what's
- 29:40up? Slash up the screen? Baby, pull Stash up. He says,
- 29:45uhh yeah. So and here's the thing Spider Man. Uh I'm not
- 29:55getting for myself. I am like forcing my brother to collect Spider Man on
- 30:00Christmas. I'm going to give him like an entire set of Spider Man figures
- 30:07with uh the watch anything you do, literally nothing, he knows nothing anything
- 30:19I do last thing. So to that for my brother. These are the
- 30:23on These are the retro figure. That's more like those are technically Marble Legends
- 30:30as well. Yes, okay, but these are the retro carding, which
- 30:33is cool. Yeah, but as a Marble Legend collector, they pissed me
- 30:41off because it changes the box. So like when I'm trying to display the
- 30:45packaging, I was like, they're release. They're releasing like variants of figures
- 30:49they've had, but with different paint or different faces. And I prefer the
- 30:53retro ones, the ones they actually released, but I have the ones in
- 30:57the packages that I want, So it's like driving me insane. I had
- 31:02another question for you guys. So I had a signing this past Saturday in
- 31:04Allentown, Pennsylvania. Shout out to everyone who came to that. It's a
- 31:07great time. A lot of major marks and it's just a good time.
- 31:10It's great to meet everybody in person. And you know, Earring Mulligan and
- 31:12Johnny Cisco and those guys, you know, russell O, Presty Rando is
- 31:17awesome. But anyway, it was at a collectible store. Dabbled in wrestling.
- 31:19There's a little of the wrestler. It's mainly superheroes and comic book stuff.
- 31:23What's the difference between a Marvel Select figure. Those are years prior,
- 31:29correct, they still they still drop them. So because I saw rack of
- 31:33those and I saw a giant racket these legends, and I was like,
- 31:37they go, they go more like to scale of like the character. So
- 31:41some of them will be like seven inches eight inches nine inches, the packaging
- 31:45is bigger. You can buy them only at the Disney store or like a
- 31:48comic book shop like that. They're usually more expensive too, uh and those
- 31:53I would definitely take out of the package really yeah, yeah, very toy.
- 32:01Yeah, but you know, I've bit hard, Like I said,
- 32:04forty plus of these and and actually if you count the ones that I bought
- 32:07from my brother a yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm an adult. I
- 32:16have a lot for sale. Before I put them in the Facebook chat,
- 32:22I'll like side okay, okay, yeah that's good. Yeah. There was
- 32:27like an eight month period where Hasbro would send me cases, so like they
- 32:32would send it to Walmart, Toy's arrest and Ethan Page's front door. I'm
- 32:37not even joking. I would even get the like the two per case.
- 32:40Oh I got two venoms cool, like Bro, all right, well,
- 32:45yeah, let's check it out and maybe maybe the major wrestling figure past.
- 32:49I have to bring my friend I got this week back in Oh yeah,
- 32:51let's let's see it. So you got it this week? Yes? I
- 32:54uh so on that one the real problem. And for those that can't see
- 32:59us, this is a Jake the Snake Tanka Wrestling Buddy nineteen ninety one,
- 33:02right Roskin. Yeah, so I had my eye on one of these two
- 33:07weeks ago and I lost an eband and went for almost three hundred dollars.
- 33:12And what really happened, I know what really happened was our major Wrestling figure
- 33:16podcast. Buddies are coming out and I'm finally getting the dad moment that I've
- 33:21been waiting for for three and a half years. I've been like literally every
- 33:24day, like showing Mackenzie my action figure, like you don't sure, you
- 33:27don't want to play with that, and it's always like could care less.
- 33:30But this buddy came and she finally thought it was cool and she like wants
- 33:35to bring in the car. Like sometimes I'll drop off at school and her
- 33:37and the buddy are sitting next to each other like in the car seat and
- 33:38stuff like. So I'm finally getting my dad, yes that I've been trying
- 33:43to get for literally three and a half years. So maybe itchy for these
- 33:45buddies that been said, I mean my wife and I were probably engaged,
- 33:52but like I knew, I wanted all my wrestling buddies back for one day
- 33:55down the line having kids, and I just envisioned myself, you know,
- 33:59wrestling in the living room with them. So I bought Warrior, Macho,
- 34:02Hogan, l D and boss Man all pretty quickly for a decent price back
- 34:07in the day an event. And now these things are really kind of gone
- 34:10up already. I didn't have Jake and dBase. Oh so you have these
- 34:16like towed it up somewhere. Yes, they're actually my mom's attic and your
- 34:21golden maybe once she was in love with my buddy I was. I called
- 34:24it right up. I was like, are those in the attic going?
- 34:27You need to bring them over. So we've been just like slamming around.
- 34:30And that's what made me as you for Jake because I didn't have them.
- 34:32That totally makes sense. Now he's probably the most rare and most expensive,
- 34:37which I didn't know until all this went down. But Boss Men an led
- 34:40or series two, Yes, and I had this on a save listings.
- 34:45It popped up and I best offered the guy right away one fifty five,
- 34:47and I was like, see what happens and he took it and I couldn't
- 34:51believe it. Now he did give him. Did you give them the pillowcase
- 34:53treatment? There? He smells, I have this for breeze, like uh,
- 34:59fabreeze intergent, you know, I put them in the pillowcase. Use
- 35:01this like athletic sport. It's meant for that, like for for breeze to
- 35:05turn to this is like, that looks great, that's awesome. My ultimate
- 35:10worry behind me is all squished up because it's the one to wrestle. I
- 35:15didn't I used them when I was a kid. But you can still run
- 35:17it through the wash in the pile at least smell good and the stains will
- 35:21go, oh, it's it's great. It looks great, but it's squished
- 35:23because man, I other ones are flat ish, but not like my l
- 35:28O D are so flat. R l D and Jake are the embossed man
- 35:31obviously the big ticket ones. Man, they're they're pretty pretty up there if
- 35:35you're trying to scout these out. But going for I saw Hogan for four
- 35:38ninety nine in the package. Yeah, actually, oh yeah, Oh,
- 35:44if you're trying to get these in the box, that's a whole nother forget
- 35:47about it. Yeah, you're basically looking if the seller's got to have a
- 35:51lot of pictures, because you're looking for really bad stains. You're looking for
- 35:54rips and tears and stuff. You know. I almost foun out debas and
- 35:58then I finally zoomed a picture and there was like a cigarette hole in his
- 36:00cheek. You know, you're like Cannick just texted me, he said,
- 36:06not as as the major buddies. It is very soft. Look at Knicky
- 36:14just sent me some other pictures without the uh, without the can weed the
- 36:19can. It's accurate. So that's the front and the back. Look at
- 36:22that the long flowing locks. I mean yeah, So these will be dropping
- 36:28right before Christmas and we're doing the uh the YouTube video, and now that
- 36:31I know you have them, Brian, you'll be able to show them and
- 36:34bring them out in the video. So thank you for letting I Actually,
- 36:38Okay, another thing I got this week. I got this weird NXT card
- 36:45that I'm on. I had that short run in NXT with with Joe.
- 36:52Yeah, it says you now own an authentic event use NXT University of Central
- 36:57Florida, twenty sixteen canvas Matt Relick. So funny story. This is,
- 37:01uh the twenty nine out of fifty. I have the one out of one
- 37:05hundred. I also had one out of fifty, but when I got it,
- 37:07I accidentally sat on it and literally sat on it, literally sat on
- 37:13it. Now this one I couldn't for The value to this one is these
- 37:21cards are a little thicker, you know some of the cars cars are thick
- 37:23man So like I sat on it and there was a crease in it.
- 37:28But it was like hypros forever. Oh no way, hypro suck. But
- 37:32can you play the leave the memories alone Hypro's now. But I kept it
- 37:37as a placeholder because it was very hard to get out of fifty. So
- 37:40it's been on my saved listings forever. So it came, uh the twenty
- 37:45nine. I've been pretty deep into wrestling cards like that. I did not
- 37:49know you had an NXT brother. Yes, so I have a at a
- 37:52fifty out of one hundred that might be out of twenty five, might be
- 37:53a one of one. I have no idea to add that to your collection.
- 37:58I really really a rider cards No, real quick, real quick.
- 38:02This is an interesting question. Has Ethan Page ever teamed with rab ego now
- 38:07re feuded though in Chicago over who had the biggest ego over the name ego
- 38:13and I won? Okay, oh my god. This is like when Big
- 38:16T took on Booker T for the tea initial man. All right, some
- 38:22other things I got from stuff here, Yeah, from our good friend toy
- 38:27vomit. We're doing the signing. I just wanted to show them what I
- 38:30got. I got this bad blood, ruthless aggression. It's bad blood,
- 38:36right, Oh no, yes, yeah it is. I think it's bad.
- 38:38It's called preview number of blah blah blah because they got weird about some
- 38:42of those. Is his first raw pay per view winners. Maybe it's not
- 38:45bad blood, so they probably didn't want like blood on the package. And
- 38:47then like I know that, you said me One night Stand. They didn't
- 38:50call One Night Than because they didn't want that on a kid's toy. Yeah,
- 38:52this is the Goldberg says. Goldberg defeated Chris Jericho in the the The
- 38:57Black and White Trunks. It also has his patented sewer lid we all know
- 39:01all the Jacks would always throw in those accessories. I have so many fond
- 39:06memories of Goldberg coming out with that sewer lid and just beating people's senseless man.
- 39:09Yeah, I'm trying to rebuild my rual aggression collection, so I needed
- 39:15this Goldberg. I also got so who left the shot Speaking of the ECW

- 43:42I have well, I book all the main events with the FW.
- 43:47I count that you guys will like this story. Okay, so uh,
- 43:53Ethan you you'll appreciate this. Are you familiar with turtles at all? Do
- 43:58you have any turtles in your collection? No, because I can't start too
- 44:01many. Sure, No, I get it. So my turtles, like
- 44:07I said, I like to let everything breathe, and my turtles I thought
- 44:10were like the original like eighty eight eighty nine turtles on display. Then I
- 44:15was doing some investigating when I was moving things around and I was just checking
- 44:19the back and some of them had like the two thousand and eight or whatever,
- 44:22like I had the re release for some of them. So I was
- 44:24like, I'm sorry, I can't. This does not fly with me,
- 44:29you know, like nobody would know, but I need to do this right
- 44:32right. Yeah. So I bought like the Four Turtles and a couple others
- 44:37a couple of weeks ago on the show and I'm like, I'll get these.
- 44:39I'll just let them breathe. No big deal. I know for a
- 44:42fact these are the ones I need. But bro, the boxes came so
- 44:45pristine, like unpunched, and I was like, one, do I have
- 44:49one like to show you? Yeah? Oh no, I don't. Sorry,
- 44:52but like that, I'll side your picture nice, so nice. But
- 44:54I was like, I don't know if I could open these right, I
- 44:58don't know if I can do it, so you can, no way?
- 45:04Yeah, So I got a Leonardo this week on a beater card, so
- 45:08I was able to open it up, let him breathe. It has the
- 45:13if I can show you, you won't be able to say. But the
- 45:15eighty eight got the weapon rack, you know, the weapon rack. So
- 45:22I'm looking now for uh, the Donatello Michelangelo. It just holds up.
- 45:30It's just still so eye catching. Right now, I'm looking for them on
- 45:34the Beater cards. Uh so, I can you know squishy head or not
- 45:38squishy Head. I don't want squishy head. I want hard Head. I
- 45:40didn't have squishy head as a kid, but if you bought it in a
- 45:43Beater you would have no idea. Oh, the packaging is there's a certain
- 45:45way to tell. I think I really have to look into it. Yeah,
- 45:51so I want the hard j r. D. You know what I'm
- 45:52saying. I just took some blue shoe, I think. Yeah. I
- 45:55think because because because Brian we probably got him in like ninety, not like
- 45:59eighty eight. You know what, I'm way older than you guys. You
- 46:01know what I'm saying. Brian we got later. Yeah, watch Turtles in
- 46:06black and white. He was he was reading the Mirage comics a year and
- 46:13a half. This is gonna make you feel way worse than The first turtles
- 46:17I got were the ones that talked. Oh man, I don't remember those.
- 46:23Their shells had a speaker in it. Yeah, I know, Wow,
- 46:28I remember those, all right. So I also for turtles I got,
- 46:32I got these negga. Oh rock men, what the what are the
- 46:37rock men? They were like bad guys. They they were like you know,
- 46:40trag. They made a playmates of him. Yeah, yeah, I
- 46:43don't remember the rock Man. There were cranings like, uh, henchmen,
- 46:47but these necka figured there's un It's like a work of killing. It is
- 46:52so good. I'm glad you're saying that because that is the perfect segue to
- 46:55my next purpose. How much do you buy? This is nothing? This
- 47:02is nothing nothing, check this baby out. Oh yes, I love First
- 47:13of all, last week on the show when he showed those the rock guys,
- 47:17So last week on Twitch, I unboxed this Martin McFly Okay, I
- 47:22let him breathe. But now I said to myself, like, what am
- 47:24I like? Look at this package. It's like the cover of the movie.
- 47:29I don't want I don't want people to see how close my face is
- 47:31when I don't even future. That's like right, and then they do the
- 47:37bel crow the right way and you pop it up and look at Jesus life
- 47:40right awesome. Now do you get that Amazon? Okay, I need to
- 47:46get on this that just came out. These are just out so you can
- 47:51find them in stores now, Yeah, I Target and Walmart's abhim. I
- 47:53got him on Amazon. This is great. This is Marty from the original
- 47:57movie. But then this is what I really love you got? Uh So
- 48:01look at the cover of this is like the Almanac. O my god.
- 48:05And then you open it up and it's biff. Oh my god, right,
- 48:08it's not the Almanac. There, I'm sorry, I can't really there
- 48:10we go. Now this is a beautiful figure. But I'm torn. Do
- 48:14I open Do I open these? And look at the back? Doc Brown
- 48:17is coming? Doc Brown's coming soon. They get this and just leave him
- 48:22in the package. That's the problem. Now, this is awesome. Back
- 48:25to the Future two Marty McFly Oh oh yeah, yeah, son. So
- 48:36there's there's four out and then with with Doc Brown there's five. But then
- 48:39today Randy, that son of a bitch, And I mean that in the
- 48:44nicest way. He posted the pictures of Doc Brown and like, if you're
- 48:47really spotting, the Marty that he's with is a totally different Marty. So
- 48:52like, there's more common you know what I'm saying. So if I see
- 48:57him in the store, I'm not gonna go nuts for him. If I
- 48:59see him in the store, I might get one of the Marty's. I
- 49:00might get a bit if I see it, I mean, they're they're so
- 49:05great and and this is like, you know, I was explaining this to
- 49:07someone earlier, like why we express our love for these lines that like,
- 49:13Okay, obviously I love necka that couldn't send us this, you know we're
- 49:16talking about because we love it so much. And in a selfish way,
- 49:20I'm promoting this line because I want you to go out there and buy it.
- 49:22So it's so successful that they make more characters for me, A lot
- 49:28of stuff for sure. I also got this this week, Super seven.
- 49:35We love Super seven. They're making hour figures. They make turtles, which,
- 49:38by the way, Mark, have you been getting those turtles? Not
- 49:44yet anyway, but they I finally bit the bullet on this. Oh yeah,
- 49:52the Andre the Giant whoa. So I will say this. I'm gonna
- 49:57do a live on boxing right now because I got this from Amazon and it
- 50:00shipped in like this too big of a box with all my my dog's treats,
- 50:04and it crushed and it crushed me the package. This is something.
- 50:10So there's also an Andre like this. The other Andre isn't quite accurate though,
- 50:15with like the shorts of the single top, it's a little off.
- 50:20You know what I'm saying. But this is not the worst thing. So
- 50:22I'm gonna let this breathe right now, Little Fike sniff, Little Fix sniff.
- 50:30And then I love this because I guess technically this until the ultimate Andre
- 50:36comes out. This is the first one with a beer can. Oh it
- 50:39has its yeah, yeah, So I'm gonna try to pop in his hand
- 50:44right now. I remember when they like showed these figures years ago toy Fair.
- 50:49That's it. And he'said, crushing that beer can. That's pretty cool.
- 50:52So our Super sevens are coming out very soon, well not very soon,
- 50:57not in scale that, not very soon at all, right, but
- 51:00I'm crossing my fingers that we can get some reactions. Baby, that'd be
- 51:04some bad. Obviously, I wouldn't be against it. This is amazing,
- 51:08and I think these are super cool, and they make them in so many
- 51:10other lines. I do personally think it's better to keep these mint on card
- 51:16because the package is so nice, and without it, these kind of look
- 51:20very almost such a let them breathed guy. But I was collecting the baseball
- 51:24ones and I dabbling them. They do look better on the car, and
- 51:28I was opening them and I was like, because if you can't really do
- 51:30them, they're they're still stuck in that right. Nineteen Star Wars I appreciate,
- 51:34which for you know what it's supposed to represent is awesome, but not
- 51:37to you serious question here. Yeah, scratch and sniff and stickers coming soon.
- 51:43No, but I will say this like nineteen ninety seven figures. I
- 51:46don't know, but I will if you want to scratch and sniff something,
- 51:51Mark, where's this going? My manscaped Thanks to KANICKI, we call Mark

- 54:20I want to keep this mint and then I also want to read this book
- 54:23and put this on my Rick flairshelf. You can see right, guid me.
- 54:28The magazine is a very underrated aspegag. It's like very nice, very
- 54:30well put together publication. Actually, yeah, ego, are you familiar with
- 54:35the term no hair, no flair? We'll talk aboutatory. By the way,
- 54:45hero Collector dot com slash major. Uh just I don't even know if
- 54:50that's coupon code. But if you buy something you got here he No,
- 54:57no, guys put the term major in anything you're checking out on my silver
- 55:04balls for all right? Okay, So for Halloween, I have I'm going
- 55:10to two Halloween parties and I'm not a buy a costume out of the bad
- 55:14guy I I never was. What I will do is I'll buy the costume
- 55:17and then I'll customize it because it's never quite right. So uh, you
- 55:22know, So I bought a Ghostbuster costume, and I'm using some of the
- 55:27prop toys that I have for the outfit instead of like the stupid backpack proton
- 55:30pack it came with. I even said, this one is even is even
- 55:34blow up? It was like one of those like Jim Stringer backpack things.
- 55:37Anyway, So I sent the outfit to Rick Michaels, my gear guy,
- 55:40to put green slime all over it, and I got so instead of like
- 55:45Spengler, it says Cardona, you know, Okay, So I did that
- 55:49and then I'm I'm also being macho man yea, so they actually make I
- 55:54didn't want to use like my actual macho man bandana. So they have a
- 55:59Halloween costume where it has already cut up a shirt and a band dan.
- 56:01I want to use that, but there's certain things I need to customize,
- 56:05and one thing I needed was a winged Eagle title. So I went to
- 56:08Amazon and got the winged Egle from Mattel. But we've talked about before.
- 56:14Do you know on Amazon they ship them like this, yeah, like like
- 56:17this, so it's not the Coold Boss. Actually, Brian did he got
- 56:21the tag team titles, didn't you? Yeah? I think like maybe a
- 56:22year and a half ago we talked about I got techning titles like that.
- 56:24Yeah, so this is how it comes. Uh, just like this,
- 56:29So wwe waring the Eagle Championship. So I'll do a nice little my exact
- 56:35O knife from from Traveling. Thanks. Yeah, and we'll get this baby
- 56:39out and this will be in my Halloween costume. Chelsea's gonna be what are
- 56:45you wearing? Like the waist down? Okay, So there's the problem.
- 56:49So this costume, while it had it actually had like wristbands to wear,
- 56:52like the headband as his wristband, you know, which is really cool.
- 56:57I had the headband and had the ripped up purple shirt, but it came
- 56:59with like purple and white like Zuba's pants, Like Machiman never wore that,
- 57:05you know what I'm saying. I understand what they're going for sure, sure,
- 57:07but then I'm also not gonna wear trunks. So I think I'm gonna
- 57:09go for some of his like street gear. Looks like they've made a mitel
- 57:12where it's just like like blue jeans, like a brown belt or something like
- 57:15that. You know, yeah, real light blue jeans that are saying,
- 57:19yeah, you know what I'm saying, if you don't take that reflection pick,
- 57:21you're a coward. Yeah, I'm saying that. Okay, here we
- 57:24go, here's the belt. Oh, I do think the uh. I
- 57:30do like the Mattel belts better than the Jack's Foam because these are like floppy,
- 57:35like a real title would be you know what I'm saying, like with
- 57:38a little flop yep. So it's actually pretty cool. I think it's like
- 57:42fifteen twenty bucks. Yeah, I like that. I like Yeah, and
- 57:45it'll fit me, I hope, because I don't want to carry it around
- 57:49all day, so hopefully it fits me. But and if it gets destroyed,
- 57:52it's a Halloween costume, who cares? You know, you can crack
- 57:53somebody over the head with it. Yeah, so pretty damn cool. I
- 57:58do love these belts. So I think that all Ego has one more purchases
- 58:02he wants to mention, then he's going to bow out of our marathon.
- 58:08Don here. I think you'll like my last thing. Okay, okay,
- 58:15okay, I will I will, I will well. I want to know
- 58:17the rule for this thing, though, what I do I have to physically
- 58:21have it doing that because it's twitch. We don't actually hold it. Yeah,
- 58:28okay, well I have It's not here yet, but I had to
- 58:30do I had to do it. Does a pre order count as long as
- 58:32I think? Yeah? Okay. I got the Mandalorian Hot Toy on pre
- 58:37order because of doing a watch through of the first season before the second season
- 58:43drops, and I like it, was very skeptical of sinking into the hot
- 58:47Toy because I knew they'd have his like upgraded armor. But after watching the
- 58:52first three episodes back, I was like, man, I need that tattered
- 58:55cape. I need the brown different. I think me too, it's more
- 59:01toyatic. So I just jumped on it. So I had to pre order
- 59:06that. And I don't know when it's gonna come, but it's something that
- 59:09I haven't even thought about or dived into. But I know that you're a
- 59:15big hot dog. Do it, Mark, I have to do it,
- 59:19Mark. I have like three of them. That's it. You have to
- 59:22Mark. I have a Han Solo, a Rocky Balboa and a look at
- 59:27those. Don't do it, Mark, that thanos crazy. There's no joint.
- 59:30Don't make him. Yeah good. The joints are like under the skin,
- 59:37right, yes, yes, yeah. One of your actually helped me
- 59:40out. I posted a photo of it and Stanos's arm was bent, and
- 59:45they told me to straighten it out because eventually, over time, once that
- 59:47skin sets, it sets, so when I move it, it'll tear.
- 59:52So I was like, oh that was very nice. Wow nice? Uh
- 59:55all you go before you go. And while we have you know, the
- 59:58longest raining Impact Wrestic Tech Team champion here, we'll shout out the threadheads today.

- 1:01:59bug this year of one of the houses. They were supposed to have Mark
- 1:02:01have the picture the Beetlejuice mug. So I collected the mugs. I get
- 1:02:06a mug every year, and they built a store and put what I think

- 1:12:11a pretty good idea that maybe we should wake up. You're always angry,
- 1:12:15Rory Fox, because you're ruined my career. Rory, what happened? I
- 1:12:23don't understand what you got naked on television? Is that ruining your career?
- 1:12:29I think it elevated your career. Yeah, boy, it's elevating it now,
- 1:12:32but for eight years. Well, and I'm sorry about that. I
- 1:12:38apologize. It was an accident. JBL didn't tell me to do it.

- 1:13:20Make it up for him. Yeah, I should have trading cards.
- 1:13:23I should have those sneakers. No, no, nobody's wearing Rory Fox sneakers.
- 1:13:29We should definitely do the trading card. I think what about this one.
- 1:13:31Woo woo woo, kiss my ass. All right, Hey, Rory,
- 1:13:39thanks for sticking around all night. For doing that. You made me
- 1:13:41wait an hour. He's a page on so long. He wasn't even saying
- 1:13:45anything. Wow, he's a great wrestler and he's in shape. And I
- 1:13:51followed his YouTube to how to get lean, but he wasn't adding anything to
- 1:13:56the program. Oh he's just sitting there such a I didn't know you were
- 1:14:00such a twitcher, Rory. I maximize my minutes, baby, that's right.

- 1:14:21there. Just like Matt Cardona pulled my trunks too hard, Brian Myers threw
- 1:14:29me too hard. I went flying through the ropes and I bounced my head
- 1:14:32off conference steps. Oh my god. I don't know what little buddy on
- 1:14:40Facebook line. I don't know what we'll be seen on camera, but Rory
- 1:14:45almost killed himself to Talking Choppamania two. It will be worth it for the
- 1:14:47price alone. If that's all. No, no one other thing. I

- 1:15:21me from w c w's The Thunder taping in two thousand. Oh yeah,
- 1:15:30shot, there's no way he calls you, Rory. That's a you got
- 1:15:38fifteen seconds of plug your stuff. Plug it. Rory Fox eleven at Instagram,
- 1:15:43Rory Fox underscore on Twitter. You want eight by ten? Damn me?
- 1:15:46I got awesome eight by ten kissed my ask bastard soon, Holy mart,
- 1:15:59how do you know what the I sat you? Oh? I didn't
- 1:16:01get him. Oh my gosh, that sent to you? All right?
- 1:16:08That just blew my mind? All right? And Broski, that's it.
- 1:16:12That's all our surprise. Yeah, that's that's it. We we built that
- 1:16:15all. We we got all these guests to come in. Colt was actually
- 1:16:17last minute. Brian didn't even know he was coming in. I didn't know
- 1:16:20that one. But yeah, that was exhausting. I'm sweating, Okay.
- 1:16:25So people couldn't really hear him. We couldn't really hear him. People were
- 1:16:27having a hard time here on him. Whatever, guys, if you didn't
- 1:16:30hear him, he was saying some crazy stuff. Can we fix the audio
- 1:16:31for the actual pod? I'll turn it up. Yet, it used to
- 1:16:35be that magazine cutouts were completely not legitimate, and then this nineteen fifty eight
- 1:16:42pelet magazine cutout. PSA goes and grades it, and by the virtue of
- 1:16:46them grading it, they just made it a card and then it sells for
- 1:16:49like one hundred grand. So there's a lot of things going on right now
- 1:16:54and people are just looking for angle. You don't see this fading anytime soon,
- 1:16:58and just on the up. And I do not think overall there is
- 1:17:01a bubble. I think certain pockets are bubbles, and the ones that seem
- 1:17:06like their bubbles are there are sixteen thousand Zion Williamson PSA ten base cards from
- 1:17:15his rookie year PSA ten, sixteen thousands. That's a bubble, Okay,
- 1:17:21that can't Those are garbage, you know. I think we're going to look
- 1:17:25back on this and this is going to become the junk slab era. So
- 1:17:29junk wax was the early nineties. This is junk slabs. People a chunks
- 1:17:33in a slab, right, and they got infatuated with stacking slabs up.
- 1:17:40Used to be like you showed your cars, Now you stack the slabs.
- 1:17:43And what's a badass? I am? I'm guilty in this pandemic. I
- 1:17:46had zero of these a year ago, zero, and now I have this
- 1:17:49whole stack is hotly so. But sometimes I have hundreds and hundreds of dollars
- 1:17:56into PSA, which I have no clue when I'm going to see those cars.
- 1:17:59Aga. What's funny is like people are stacking like fifteen or twenty or
- 1:18:04thirty John Morants, and I'm thinking, you idiot, like you're saying like
- 1:18:10I have all these and to me, someone who's in the marketplace, I'm
- 1:18:14like, I don't want these now. If one guy has twenty five,
- 1:18:17right, why would I want those? And I'm sure you get this question
- 1:18:21asked probably every single day, like how much is this worth? How much
- 1:18:25is this worth? Yes? What's so crazy? Day? Every day?
- 1:18:28Every day? What's great? I can't even answer the question when people ask
- 1:18:30us because the market is different, literally, like every week it seems you
- 1:18:34got eBay sold listings. That's it. I don't care what some price guide
- 1:18:38says. So it is. So it is eBay consummated listings and one thirty
- 1:18:43point or whatever for buy it now offers. EBA is probably going to fix
- 1:18:45that soon. But and when you're talking about figures sometimes or rare cards.
- 1:18:51Sometimes it's too far and far between that you really you don't know, I
- 1:18:57mean, and then then you tell someone it's between twenty ten and they're like,
- 1:19:00come on, man, I'm like, no, no, no,
- 1:19:01that's what it is, Like it is, that's what it is. So
- 1:19:05the problem with what's going on now is people you have to know when to
- 1:19:10take your profits. So I have a target. I had a weird situation
- 1:19:14last night, and I don't know if I can ever sell it. I
- 1:19:16was really close with Kobe, so I have some ridiculously unique things. But
- 1:19:23I do have two signed tickets from his final game, and there's only eighteen
- 1:19:28of them according to PSA, and I have two, one of them last
- 1:19:30so one of them last night went for forty one thousand. Wow. And
- 1:19:36I think that was like a moment in the ticketing game where people are like,
- 1:19:41WHOA, this makes sense. There's only eighteen signed ones, like an
- 1:19:45awakening, but it's like, how do you know, like to take money
- 1:19:48off the table. It's like there are people who think this is going to
- 1:19:53go up forever. It's not right right, But I will tell you that
- 1:19:57the Sealed Wrestlers is in it's early stages. I don't think we're close.
- 1:20:01I don't think cards in general, because I feel like they're behind the eighty
- 1:20:05two. Listen, listen the eighty two All Stars. All the big money
- 1:20:11is into that, and they've pumped and pumped and pumped. I mean,
- 1:20:15like a Hulk sold signed, sold for like a ten sold for like thirty
- 1:20:18five thousand or something, and I'm like, I can get Hulk to sign
- 1:20:21a ten that I can buy for nine thousand for one hundred, Like that
- 1:20:26doesn't make any sense. So there's been a lot of pumping, I think,
- 1:20:30And it depends. You always have to look around and say who is
- 1:20:33in this market? If it's like the Gary Vees and all his guys,
- 1:20:36like you could say the market saturated. You know that everyone you know,
- 1:20:42everyone who's who knows of a market is in this. And then I would
- 1:20:45always say, know who's in your market? Right? Like I said to
- 1:20:48my friend who's very wealthy but has a lot of Luka doncic Prism cards,
- 1:20:54I said, you know you're not going to be able to keep those for
- 1:20:57long? And he said, why I can hold I got all the money
- 1:21:00in the world. I can hold them forever. I go, yeah,
- 1:21:00but your problem is that the people who are collecting those are twenty to twenty
- 1:21:04five year olds. The more over indexed Luka doncics twenty to twenty five year
- 1:21:11olds, and they don't have liquid cash. So as soon as this market
- 1:21:14goes down, that's the first thing that they sell and you become subject to
- 1:21:18that. Right, you actually have to know. I always tell people,
- 1:21:23and sometimes it's a guest, sometimes it's anecdotal stories. You actually have to
- 1:21:27know who's collecting what you're collecting. Are easy to think about, right,
- 1:21:32right, And because once, for instance, let's say for there, we're
- 1:21:36gonna talk wrestling figures. For like instance, this this Hasbro one two three
- 1:21:41kid figure. The run was cut short because the company lost his license.
- 1:21:45So I'm just gonna make up this number. Earlier this year, it sold
- 1:21:47for like eight hundred dollars. Oh my god. So someone's like, oh
- 1:21:50I have it, and they put it up. It sells for nine hundred.
- 1:21:53Oh I have it. It's els for a thousand, But then so
- 1:21:55many people put up at once and the value starts to drop. It's still
- 1:22:00not it's not worth that like whatever. It was fifteen hundred for a couple.
- 1:22:02And then finally started going down. Yeah, So like some of the
- 1:22:04things I'm in, they they're just they're just there, just can't be right.
- 1:22:09Like that's that's the thing. Like, you know, if you're into
- 1:22:13some markets where there just can't be trying to think of other you know.
- 1:22:16I mean, I'm in black history. I love black history stuff. It
- 1:22:20is so undervalued. It is so undervalued. I have a poster to go
- 1:22:27get on a bus to the I have a dream speech. Oh wow,
- 1:22:30wow, that's cool. How many could there be? Right? Right?
- 1:22:33Right? Like you know, so it's like it's it's that you know.
- 1:22:39So I would say, I would say when you go into those markets,
- 1:22:43figure out kind of figure out, you know, how much will come to
- 1:22:46light. You know. It seems like there were a bunch of them,
- 1:22:49and obviously people go and they go and cash out. I think we're just
- 1:22:55living, especially for the wrestling. I think the wrestling fans are just behind
- 1:22:58and like in a couple of years, the figures, the cards. I
- 1:23:00don't think they'll ever be as hot as basketball and baseball. But it's just
- 1:23:04in the past year alone that they do not need to be right. There's
- 1:23:09literally like the does AFA have population reports? I don't even know, we
- 1:23:15have a hard time believing in AFA. They're not They don't have the reputation.
- 1:23:19We don't think that PSA has no of course not so, of course
- 1:23:24not. But but what I'm saying is so so so wata the video game
- 1:23:28guys, they don't have population reports. But I got I said, my
- 1:23:31goal is to get the best NBA JAM in the world. I need it
- 1:23:34sealed. I need the best NBA Jam in the world. Why, because
- 1:23:38that's the iconic game of my generation. Sure, plus Costco's coming out with
- 1:23:43these small arcades, the new kids are gonna want it. So I got
- 1:23:46a nine point eight out of ten, which is basically there are no tens.
- 1:23:49And my seal was an A plus plus, which is like basically like
- 1:23:55sucked to the like who is it could be? Oh yeah? And and
- 1:24:00so that I mean, that is something that when I said to them,
- 1:24:04I said, how many sealed nbagms could there be? Just tell me off
- 1:24:08the record, I'm not going to say anything, although now I'm going to
- 1:24:10say it. And they were like, there's probably twenty total, right,
- 1:24:16And it's like that's crazy. So on the sealed wrestlers on the hulks,
- 1:24:21like there might be two hundred and fifty total Hulk seals. So that's why
- 1:24:27it's it doesn't even matter. I mean, like you know, I just
- 1:24:30think it's just the total nostalgia play. And I think that it's taking people
- 1:24:33longer because first they went to cards, and I think they were around cards
- 1:24:38for longer. But when they see people who have wrestling figures in their man
- 1:24:44cave, I think it's automatic. Oh my god, this just triggers something,
- 1:24:47especially because the majority of people it was such a short period in their
- 1:24:51life, like eighty five to eighty eight, eight ninety. I mean,
- 1:24:56I think my whole group shifted into cars, and then by ninety two we
- 1:25:00were out of cards just because it was junk. So I think there's a
- 1:25:06lot of upside in wrestling. It's just it's a it's a wild time because
- 1:25:11we start this podcast like two and a half years ago, and we started
- 1:25:15there was a podcast just on this. I think, yeah, so like
- 1:25:17it's it's like a special like niche of a niche of aniche, like you
- 1:25:20know what, love it. I love it. But we've seen the growth
- 1:25:24in the past, you know, two and a half years, like where
- 1:25:27figures were valued at then to now and in the past six months has been
- 1:25:31absolutely mind boggling. And that's why I'm so fascinated to see what the cards
- 1:25:35are doing. Or you talk about the iPhone, The iPhone is mind boggling.
- 1:25:41Wrestling cards we the first two years of this podcast, but we barely
- 1:25:44mentioned them. You know, maybe you know what, we can't get to
- 1:25:47an episode without talking about it. You know what I'd also say that's great
- 1:25:50about the figures is that there's a natural seal and it's it's very hard to
- 1:25:56fake that. So like I submitted a video game to and they said,
- 1:26:00Nope, that's not the original HCM seal that was wrapped at a factory or
- 1:26:04wrapped at a store. They rejected it. There's not really anyone who's really
- 1:26:10good at all disciplines of ceiling. And I think, you know, I
- 1:26:14have sealed music and and there's not someone who could evaluate whether the seal is
- 1:26:18great on those. I think that that gives wrestling an advantage, right,
- 1:26:25like you have, but you can't. What are you gonna what are you
- 1:26:28gonna blow plastic around the guy? Right right? What are you gonna do?
- 1:26:32Like I'm sure someone would try to fake it, but like it's attached
- 1:26:35to the cardboard, like this is the best thing going in that the seal
- 1:26:41is natural. First the wrestling figures. I know you probably a lot of
- 1:26:45people probably ask you this kind of stuff if it hasn't really hit yet,
- 1:26:49what what are some of like that if you're trying to predict uh, you
- 1:26:56think like the people that people have like more of a like a better memory
- 1:27:00for the Hulk, Hogans and things like that, or the Superstars or I
- 1:27:05honestly think it's the first series, first and second series of one, the
- 1:27:12ones that when initially you know, when the when the ring came out to
- 1:27:17you know, so eighty five, eighty six, eighty seven. I think
- 1:27:20those are the ones the mister Fujis Mean, gene Oakerland, Chic, Giant,
- 1:27:27Hogan, Snuka, those I think once you're into like the Superstars,
- 1:27:32which I think is like the other super So there's another there's a change in
- 1:27:36packaging, right that goes to black and like eighty nine, right, those
- 1:27:41are those are the hard ones to get their But but what's interesting is I
- 1:27:45was out by that, right, so I had no So again, the
- 1:27:48first generation of this, the first generation of this is guys like you who
- 1:27:55who geek out. You're blowing my mind right now because I know what you're
- 1:27:58about to say, and you're absolutely right. You have no connection out of
- 1:28:00the curtains. But I see I've done this now in video games R So
- 1:28:05the first generation geeks out about certain scarcity. The second generation says, I
- 1:28:11just care about what I played right, and so sometimes sometimes there's a miss,
- 1:28:18and that's what I'm going for. I'm going for. Well, the
- 1:28:23first generation didn't pay attention to this right, So, like I cleaned up,
- 1:28:28I was able to buy NBA jams best sealed in the world for twenty
- 1:28:30five hundred will the first generation was buying ice climber and games that no one
- 1:28:35played for twenty five thousand. I was able to get in there and say,
- 1:28:41if nostalgia's the play, I'm going to buy the ten games that I
- 1:28:44played that was the most mass played and I'm going to try to get in
- 1:28:46there. So I said, right now, I'm taking one one thing I
- 1:28:50learned by the way that I think people should if they're going to collect a
- 1:28:53nostalgia you buy everything in one day. Explain this. I don't hear that
- 1:29:01if you're gonna invest you you're gonna want to talk. It's human nature to
- 1:29:08talk right, and it's not fruitful to talk right. Absolutely, if you're
- 1:29:12so I invest, I I'm like, and I know not everyone can do
- 1:29:15this, but I'm like, listen, I'm gonna invest twenty k in the
- 1:29:18video games. I'm gonna do it all in one day. I'm gonna I'm
- 1:29:21gonna try to sweep up everything that I would sweep up, and then i'm
- 1:29:26gonna then i'm gonna shut it down. I'm gonna get the best stuff,
- 1:29:30and then i'm gonna basically I'll talk about it. And I'm fine because I
- 1:29:33blab my mouth and sure, you know you can't share your secrets, right,
- 1:29:40So I like the idea of getting it out of the way. You're
- 1:29:42gonna be paying in the same market. You're not gonna get caught with because
- 1:29:45you talked. It's gonna go more crazy, especially you guys. And we've
- 1:29:50done that inadvertently many times when we're talking about a particular line that we like,
- 1:29:55if we're we're burying. There was one in the like the late nineties,
- 1:29:58this line that has to do. They were called stop and you put
- 1:30:01like weapons and guns on them, and they're absolute garbage. And because we
- 1:30:04would talk about how bad they were, it since has like and we're talking
- 1:30:10spike the value like from like five dollars to thirty dollars. We're not talking
- 1:30:13big money, but still spike. And it's just like, ooh, maybe,
- 1:30:16like if we like something, we should kind of shut our mouths for
- 1:30:19a little bit well or just jump in on it. Like wait, the
- 1:30:25CW figures for the past twenty years. You can find any of them for
- 1:30:28ten bucks a pop. And we talked about them so much, how much
- 1:30:30like we love them as a kid. You can't find them for less than
- 1:30:32forty fifty bucks now and just the rare ones forget about it, hundreds of
- 1:30:36Now. I would say there's one thing that is a barrier to toys and
- 1:30:42that is space. People. You know a lot of people say, well,
- 1:30:45why are the cards with the jerseys on it worth more than the jerseys
- 1:30:48themselves? And it's a handheld thing, right, And you know, once
- 1:30:54you get a wrestling toy, you got to like hold it with two hands.
- 1:30:57It's hard to store. You got to keep the nice you have to
- 1:31:00have storage. And I think toys by its nature are kind of constricted a
- 1:31:06little bit in their growth because of the size of what they take up,
- 1:31:11and that's always going to be the case. I wanted to buy the ring
- 1:31:14sealed for fifteen hundred on eBay. I couldn't do it because I just I
- 1:31:19can't have the space and the wife is going to know it. Come over
- 1:31:24my house. I have a toy room and an office which has more toys,
- 1:31:26and then a garage which is basically a storage unit because it takes up
- 1:31:30a way too much reach. About the clean sweep man, Yeah, you
- 1:31:31gotta get the packages in the house before she sees. Oh, oh,
- 1:31:34it's so great I got That's that's the only reason I got the ring,
- 1:31:39not that anyone's going to steal anything in my house, but because I need
- 1:31:42to see the guy walking up so I can clear her out to get now
- 1:31:45six Now, it's fine when they're small, but like when I got I
- 1:31:50got a computer from Houston Command Control NASA from nineteen seventy that's seventy five pounds
- 1:32:00and like this big because I thought it was just cool. That was that
- 1:32:03was a struggle to uh to get to my office. Now now one one
- 1:32:08last question for this has been literally like a light bulb went off when you
- 1:32:12were talking about getting the guys that people in nostalgia with because I'm thinking,
- 1:32:15not, what's he talking about? Warlord's worth more? But you're right,
- 1:32:18because people come in they don't care about Warlord. They want Hogan, they
- 1:32:21want Macho Man, they want Piper guys that, like you said, first
- 1:32:25generation. By the last chance that you didn't open those guys is even is
- 1:32:30even better the chances that you didn't I did open them, right to me,
- 1:32:33that makes it even greater. So I guess my question would be this
- 1:32:36a lot of this stuff we were we all, you know, we have
- 1:32:40We're passionate about certain things. We buy certain things as investments. You clearly
- 1:32:43do. Is there anything that you're you're buying right now that like you're buying
- 1:32:46for yourself, like for nostalgic reasons or is it everything has like that that
- 1:32:50flip at the end of the day. So everything needs to be potentially flippable.
- 1:32:56That's that's my whole collection and I and I do it based on an
- 1:32:59of verries just because that gives me a natural talking point. So like I
- 1:33:03have the I have the ticket to Jesse Owens becoming the fastest man in the
- 1:33:09world in front of Hitler the best graded ticket from the nineteen thirty six Olympics.
- 1:33:13Like that's like ooh, but I have noted in my collection guide that
- 1:33:21on August third, twenty twenty one is the eighty fifth anniversary, So I'll
- 1:33:27back into that and that will be my key moment where I could where I
- 1:33:30might be able to sell it. Wow, you know, so I have
- 1:33:33every you know, I have everything noted, and it's very strategic. This
- 1:33:39piece that I bought for one hundred and twenty seven thousand, I have,
- 1:33:42I know the week I'm going to sell it two years from now. I
- 1:33:45love this. This is like I mean, I bought I bought a I
- 1:33:49bought a New York Times signed by the three Apollo eleven astronauts for twenty eight
- 1:33:55thousand, and my wife was like, what do you guys, what are
- 1:33:58you doing newspaper? And it was a year and a half away from the
- 1:34:01fiftieth anniversary. I waited to the fiftieth anniversary. I waited to the week
- 1:34:04of and I you know, two and a half times my money in a
- 1:34:09year and a half. So like everything is strategic. There's very little that
- 1:34:13I would not sell. I probably have one item I would not sell.
- 1:34:17Do you want to see it doing the visual or yeah? Hell yeah,
- 1:34:21that's great. So the one item I would not sell is this. So
- 1:34:40that's good because the credential that was around Kobe's neck at the two thousand and
- 1:34:44eight Olympics. Oh my god, never sell. I can't ever, I
- 1:34:47would never be able to sell. Yeah, that's priceless. Wow. And
- 1:34:50I got the I got the uh you know, I got the whole year
- 1:34:55the envelope that he originally got it in, so holy crazy piece did he
- 1:34:59give that? Yeah? I got this? Yeah? Okay, wow?
- 1:35:02Well well yeah, I got my dream baseball card this Mike Piazza Rookie for
- 1:35:06eighty bucks. That's pretty cool. Eighty eighty bucks about probably exactly a year
- 1:35:12ago and now it's already a Piazza guy. He's my favorite player growing up.
- 1:35:15Yeah. Okay, So so when we end this podcast, going to
- 1:35:18tell you what's on eBay right now, to something on eBay you need to
- 1:35:24buy. Okay, okay, cool? Uh DM me on Twitter, I
- 1:35:27followed you. But yeah, gem in ten Piazza Bowman ninety two Rookies,
- 1:35:31a dream card of mine as a kid. I got it for eighty bucks.
- 1:35:33And then just in this year. I checked a couple of days ago.
- 1:35:36It's going for like four hundred and five bucks. Mike Piazza is probably
- 1:35:40one of the best stories of all time. Drafted six or second round favorite
- 1:35:44of Tommy Lasorda, like he was not that good and and he became a
- 1:35:47Hall of Famer and one of the greatest catchers of all time. And we
- 1:35:51failed to mention this whole time that you're a fellow Long Islander. That's right,
- 1:35:55I am. I'm Roslyn High School. Yeah, I'm glen Cove.
- 1:35:58And Matt's Merrick Merrick. Yeah. And I also see I have a nice
- 1:36:01sneaker Curly, give a nice sneaker collection back there, Darren. Don't.
- 1:36:04Let's not pretend you don't collect something. Yeah, there's some sneakers that I
- 1:36:12can't give you here the top sixty five. It rotates in and ounce.
- 1:36:15Oh my god, We've got about five hundred and various place sneaker collections.
- 1:36:20I just can't understand. But but actually I I don't let people dictate what
- 1:36:27I like, like I I so I collect any sneaker that has a food
- 1:36:30theme. So I have the new Balanced Jolly Ranchers, the water Burgers,
- 1:36:34the in and outs, the uh Heinekens, the Dunkin Donuts, the you
- 1:36:41know. So like I determine my own I'm not just like being I'm not
- 1:36:44a follower, and I like that because I think we should all make our
- 1:36:47own rules for collecting and what we were elected. There's the there is no
- 1:36:51these are the rules and this I have to do it every Listen, when
- 1:36:56you start following people, that's when you get in When you start trailing people,
- 1:37:01that's when in this market you're gonna get in trouble because you're just trying

- 1:37:10reasons why. I love that. What a lesson learned here? Yeah,
- 1:37:13hell you down. Our fans are gonna love this. This is very we've
