- 6:06all, don't I don't think that exists. Uh oh not yet. Maybe
- 6:12maybe Broskey Before you do that, can I just say something real quick?
- 6:15This is very important, this show, the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast. We
- 6:20have a lot of people that help out and you know, while we're doing
- 6:24this this special thing. We should also talk about people like TTD unsung heroes.
- 6:30And wait a second, from across the pond to Witch, whoa,
- 6:38he just tricked us because he said a d M saying like hello over there,
- 6:46is it? Is it for the morning? Yeah? No, it's
- 6:49just going one. I'll get a couple of hours with coffee. TTD for
- 6:55those who don't know, uh, you know, he is the one who
- 6:59designs all our graphics, who designs this backdrop, designs all these T shirts
- 7:03everything. So without the action figures, So without TTD, there would be
- 7:08no pod. So and this is kind of weird because the first time we're
- 7:11actually like, I mean we have met before Burst, but usually just through
- 7:14Instagram dyea, but now we're talking like this. I have a great question.
- 7:18Like we talked about how we found you, because obviously you're very talented
- 7:23in your art is very eye catching, and Matt gobbled you up very quickly.
- 7:28But how did you find us, like our podcasts and whatnot to even
- 7:31start doing stuff in the first place. Yeah, so I think I started
- 7:35listing from day one. So I've only got back into wrestling figure collecting that
- 7:40year, so early in twenty eighteen, and then when the podcast came along,
- 7:45started listening and I think it was a bit of fan art. Let's
- 7:49figure fav Yeah, so major mark from day one and then designs for the
- 7:56pod. It's cool man, Yeah, I think you of the times that
- 8:00we contact TTD like per day, you know, it's it's insane the stuff
- 8:05that he does that. I mean literally the look of the show, the
- 8:07feel of the show, it's all because of his designs and his artwork.
- 8:11So it's so so cool. Yeah. Shirts, That's the most important thing
- 8:15is that everything kind of you know, blends together, whether it be a
- 8:16backdrop on a Twitch screen or shirt or figure, it has that same feel.
- 8:20It's in the same universe if you will, which you know, it
- 8:24only works if you have the vision, So thank you very much. And
- 8:26most of the time I just kind of tell you what I want because I'm
- 8:30creative but I'm not artistic, you know, And then you don't really even
- 8:33have to you know, you just do it, and nine times out of
- 8:35ten it's like perfect. I'm like, well, can you just switch this
- 8:39little thing? It's like, I don't know how you do it, man,
- 8:39It's incredible. Yeah, I've worked with many designers and and it's very
- 8:43easy to work with TTD. So that's been great. Yeah, but so
- 8:46TTD stick around for a minute, just through the giveaways. So so brokey,
- 8:50why don't you continue on with that? Well, first, it's the
- 8:54major review. So guys what we do every week if you're on iTunes,
- 8:58and this is the only way it works if it's on iTunes, leave a
- 9:01major review screenshot it, somehow tweeted to us using the hashtag major review.
- 9:07Mark you do you have? There? We go w j boch l ho
- 9:13oh man nail. I was gonna type this up by the way to put
- 9:18it on the screen, but you forgot thirty two by the way, that
- 9:22handle wasn't done. Bro His review is so good, Mark, you don't
- 9:26have it ready to go on the screen? No, I do not,
- 9:28hopefully don't. This is great, Mark, I don't have it like available.
- 9:33Come on, it's like so long. I thought that you were going
- 9:37to read it. That's the whole gimmick. Let me see if I can
- 9:41find this. Okay, I found it. Wait, Bresley, you were
- 9:46trying to get out of reading it, he was, And I thought it
- 9:50would be on the screen for me to read well, hey, whatever this
- 9:52is, can we can we can we curse on here? I just bleep
- 9:56yourself, please, Yeah, where do you get twitch? Don't? Don't,
- 10:00let's just stunt do it? Okay, Okay, give me a f
- 10:03and Mike cut the music. You see where Big popa Pump comes to town.
- 10:09All my hooches come around. Now while you fat asses listen up.
- 10:16You need to start listening to these three guys. I promise this. Wait,
- 10:20I promise you this. After listening to the show, you'll have a
- 10:24sixty third at three third chance of spending money. But you think you only
- 10:28have a fifty percent chance of actually doing it, But I guarantee there's a
- 10:31one hundred percent chance you will. You got Mark Sterley, Doctor Silverball's the
- 10:35Phil Jackson of the Wrestling Fear Collecting, the producer of the show and T
- 10:39n T Star. He's lucky it wasn't Big Puppa Pump that he had to
- 10:43wrestle in a w because I would have put his ass in the Steiner Cliner
- 10:48and he'd be in the hospital right now. Oh this is actually Scott Steiner.
- 10:52Okay, then you have the most professional wrestler, the sky Pippot of
- 10:58recipe collecting Brian Myers. He's always on eBay looking like he's chewing that blue
- 11:01chew because he's so hard for those ec W figs. Now we come to
- 11:05the Major King, the thousand Dollars Broski. He is the Michael Jordan of
- 11:11wrestling vig collecting Matt Cardona. He's big and all jacked up, but he
- 11:15doesn't have the largest arms of the world like the genetic Freak. He's always
- 11:18ready and always on a fig cut for those rare figs at Walmart and the
- 11:22wrestling universe an eBay. So when you lose those thigs on eBay in a
- 11:26bidding war and screaming a pain on the floor, I'll take Chlsea to Nevada
- 11:30show screaming my name, the Big Bad Boody Daddy. So this goes all
- 11:35my thick freaks out there, the Major Wrestling for your podcasts, your hook
- 11:41up, and your hook up at Rinkside Collectibles, hashtag Major for ten percent,
- 11:45Hollas him and then Siren Emos. I think my takeaway from that is
- 11:48that I never thought the first person to actually refer to you as the Major
- 11:54King would be Scott Steiner, the Big Papa Poto scores are not really Scott
- 11:58Steiner, thank you very much for that review. You'll be getting this magnet.
- 12:03I'll throw it, you know what, I'll throw in something else.
- 12:05That was a good review, that was a great review. I'll throw it.
- 12:07You know what, I got a signed retcho. I don't have it
- 12:09here at the show. You know what a retro looks like. I'll throw
- 12:13it aside. Reto with that. So thanks a lot for the review.
- 12:16Well, let's say goodbye to t t TTD. We're sorry. We know
- 12:20it's like four o'clock in the morning, but TTD we love the dead fed
- 12:24his exclusive merch on Pro Wrestling tes dot com. What's the u r L
- 12:26for that TTD wrestling plug? Yeah, yeah, Pro Wrestling ts dot com
- 12:33Forward slash tv t TD Wrestling in the Morning. All right, real quick,
- 12:39I gotta know where tt D come from because that's not your name and
- 12:43I actually know that. Yeah, it started off as a different YouTube channel
- 12:48with my kids. It stands for the Toy Dude Ryan Ryan TTD was the
- 12:54other channel, Ryan the Toy Dude and then Toy Dude. I like that.
- 12:58Wait those videos up? Yeah, you didn't want to watch that,
- 13:03yeah, we got something. But no, But then I started doing more
- 13:09wrestling figures than anything else, and then separate channel t TD Wrestling was born,
- 13:15and that's top heavy eight t T These voice is so glorious, glorious.
- 13:24I'm digging the amounts by the way seeing that. Yes, Oh did
- 13:28he tell us about the emotes? They're up? Look at it? Can
- 13:31someone use it? Can someone put all the emotes on? And then Mark
- 13:33put some on the screen to him? Guys, what isn't emote? That's
- 13:39why I said, somebody do a message with all of our emotes that you
- 13:43can use. Oh here we guys, Oh wow, whoa my god,
- 13:48here we go. Oh yeah, we got in the first tier. If
- 13:50you subscribe to our channel, you got the major Pod logo, you got
- 13:54the Stop logo, you got the Matt Cardona logo, you got them Brian
- 13:58Myers logo, the f w F logo, Stay me Matt, Brian and
- 14:03claim. Oh but if you're on the second tier, you get more ones.
- 14:07Second tier, Uh, I forget what they are, but they're more.
- 14:11I think Matt, it's swaggle. You can have swaggle one stomp Brian
- 14:16stomp Matt. There's two more and then there's only one in the final tier
- 14:20because we're out of emotes. Were we able to get Swagger's proportions in the
- 14:24emote? Yeah, because it's great, gets a little off the he has
- 14:28his little pecker. I wasn't saying that, Okay, so uh, and
- 14:35I'll say this, uh. And we keep meaning to talk about this,
- 14:39but if you subscribe to our channel on Twitch, you get these emotes.
- 14:43We're going to add some more benefits as the time goes goes on for the
- 14:46specific tiers. But if you are just a major pod person who doesn't usually
- 14:52use Twitch, chances are you have Amazon Prime, and because who doesn't,
- 14:56and nowadays Amazon Prime with their membership, gives you one free subscription for a
- 15:03Twitch channel. Okay, so if you're not using that, if you had
- 15:07no idea what I'm saying to you right now, you can use your Amazon
- 15:11Prime membership to subscribe to our channel, use our emotes, whatever you want
- 15:16to do. That's free for free. It's part of your membership. So
- 15:20it's a great way to support our show for free. If this is the
- 15:22only show you're gonna be used. Mark, I was today years old when
- 15:26I learned about that. I know I keep meeting to say it on the
- 15:28podcast. So t TD, thank you very much for the brother, thanks

- 15:56not automatically renew, So keep that in mind. That a little tricksy network
- 16:03style there. All right, So YouTube dot com slash Major WF Pod.
- 16:08We have so much stuff up there, whether you know, I understand a
- 16:12lot of you guys might be tuning in like who are these guys? But

- 16:27of Domination video showcasing all the Matt figures, all the Brian figures. I

- 16:51stuff like that. So help us get the word out to other toy collectors
- 16:53people in the you know, in the collecting world about our channel. Uh
- 17:00and then you know, then we'll get past one hundred and hopefully the vlog
- 17:03that we just put up from California with Me, Brian and Swaggle. Yes,
- 17:08if you read the comments, these people really think that we're like bullying
- 17:12Swaggle. They have no idea that's our friendship and that he's our buddy bro.
- 17:17I actually was looking at these comments and thinking to myself, like,
- 17:19oh man, I think sadly, and I don't know about sadly, but
- 17:26like that's the wrestling business, Like that's that's when that comes from. That's
- 17:29not just us like you just like, yeah, you spend so much time
- 17:33with each other, like you're like brothers, and you just bust balls to
- 17:36like pass the time and kind of have fun. You know. It's not
- 17:38malicious whatsoever, you know, and I think out of context, I can
- 17:41understand how it comes across this bullying. But if you guys knew the stuff
- 17:45he says to us and text messages, I'm saying I've seen some pretty step
- 17:52one. So yeah, Matt's right in saying that. Yeah, and actually
- 17:56in that video, nice little segue he showed off his what a segment.
- 18:02That's figure face. Let's let guys, guys, I just want to you
- 18:11know these buddies, that's dude. You're an innovator of the merch table to
- 18:18have dog toys on your merchcase. I thought I thought you had a lot
- 18:22of Hey, hey, hey, Mark, I believe I sold like six
- 18:26of them yesterday, did I not? You know, it was a good
- 18:30day. It was a good day. A lot of people love those.
- 18:33I actually love those. Sign them on the back. Yeah, Matt,
- 18:37it's nice that you didn't get you know, you didn't have to see Shammoo
- 18:40or anything. You can actually do a podcast today, like you don't like
- 18:45the Disney parks. You have the goddamn Muppets tattooed on your body. I
- 18:49started with the Muppets. You didn't start with Shammou. Well, I didn't
- 18:52go to Seawards have a funny joke. By the way, I finally figured
- 18:56out that Mark for the record, Brosky blew us off for our FWF recording
- 19:03asay to hang out with missus friends at the bars universe. It was Halloween
- 19:10hard and I thought we'll explain it later, but it's like canceled, but
- 19:14it's not, so I have to go, and uh that's why I went.
- 19:17But Swagger, I'm glad we brought up those buddies because coming to YouTube
- 19:21soon. We just announced that we're gonna do the history of the WWF talka
- 19:23Buddies and we're gonna like yeah, and we're gonna like show like the WCW
- 19:29Buddies and some of the jack stuff. But then it's all leading to this.
- 19:33This is a real buddy Swaggle from Matt and Brian Buddies full size.
- 19:37Well it's it's your actual full size like if you could really like, oh
- 19:41not take the snake right here. But unlike your buddy has the no necks
- 19:45like new Adam Cole figure I see, but unlike the Swaggle figures, there
- 19:52is a back look at that. Oh good, these are coming. They'll
- 19:56be available for the holiday season. Mark, can you show us the Brian?
- 20:00Yeah here we go? Oh yeah, oh he comes with a bang.
- 20:03It has never come up with. That's very accurate. Yeah, Knicky,
- 20:07we want to thank Mike Kinnick. I think it's first age Mike,
- 20:14and you're the worst. No, Knick is someone we have to thank the
- 20:18chat right now. I can see him. It doesn't matter what his first
- 20:21name is. His name is Knick. Knick. We we love Knnick.
- 20:25He's somebody who he finds a lot of obscure merch for us, whether it
- 20:29be uh, you know, foam items or you know, foam grenades.
- 20:33And he's been pitching these buddies to me, uh for a long time,
- 20:37and honestly, I was afraid they'd end up like foggles, you know,
- 20:40like, so I said, hey, if you can get it done,
- 20:42if you could talk to the factories and get it done and send us prototypes,
- 20:45go ahead. And he did it his credit, So thank you very
- 20:48much. Connick. I will second that I thought it was a test that
- 20:52just couldn't be taken on. So I also thought we were gonna get Swapple
- 20:56buddies. So it's wild. Yeah, so wago seriously are you naked?

- 24:18my favorite era of wrestling toys, the LJN. Oh so good, so
- 24:25like your voice is so soothing? That must be a really professional min oh?
- 24:29Is it? Because I am also on Twitch and a podcaster of ten
- 24:32years? That might be shout out for us? Baby? What do we
- 24:36got Twitch dot tv, slash Cold Cabana. That's right. We could do
- 24:40a little crossover. We could cross the streams a little bit. All right?
- 24:42Well, first of all, A never crossed the streams. I know
- 24:45that. And be Mark, Mark, you want to tell your story?
- 24:51What story? Uh? So I switched over my old I switched over to
- 24:56my old Facebook account yesterday because I completely for got about it and I had
- 25:00messages from cult going back six days asking me to join his twitch and do
- 25:04and play among us with him in some aw superstars. And he had been
- 25:11messaging me for days and I missed him and I felt so bad and it
- 25:15would have been great. It would have been a big a e W among
- 25:18us stream, including the lawyer himself, the official lawyer. Yeah he was.
- 25:25He was just trying to give you the rub and you said, well
- 25:26thanks. I know. I felt bad and I made him feel bad.
- 25:32What goes on? What goes on? A cult? Cabana's twitch stream Because
- 25:36you don't play video games. I've been getting into video games. What yes,
- 25:40shocking. He's not playing like Fortnite, He's playing I'm playing Fall guys,
- 25:45I'm playing among us. I also do a lot of Jackbox Quiplash with
- 25:49only wrestling answers. Is my favorite? Are you speaking feel like party games,
- 25:55Brian? Like like you would actually probably enjoy playing these games, would
- 25:59like not aditional video buttons? Yeah, anything like Aladdin on Genesis. Oh
- 26:06my god, what a great game. That's all I ever cared about when
- 26:10I was a kid. We were talking Kofy and I one time, we're
- 26:11talking to Hawkins about video games and he goes, I gotta say, probably
- 26:15the best video game of all time Aladdin. We looked at him like we
- 26:22couldn't believe it. He was serious. It was good, but the best
- 26:26time, I would say Tiny Tunes Adventures on Genesis. That's just like okay,
- 26:33that was a good one. Thank you. Aladdin's great though. I
- 26:36remember the cheat code for Aladdin was like Genie Jafar Aladdin Aboo and like that,
- 26:41like one of the last levels. I'll never forget that. Are you
- 26:44cheating bro win with some integrity? Man? No, I think like it
- 26:48was like the code like because there was no you can like save games back
- 26:51then, right or could you never know? No, no, you couldn't.
- 26:53And if you wanted to save in Aladdin, you had to type in
- 26:56the code to get to the level you were at. We love Johnny C.
- 27:00Set you up, Brian, you'll play Aladdin live on Twitch. Whoa,
- 27:03I'll take him up on that deal if he wants to do that for
- 27:06me. Okay, Sudi boy, I'm shocked you're here. I was actually
- 27:10pitching to UH to market we should have some guests, and he's doing this
- 27:12all a surprise, So thank you. Literally ten seconds ago, I got
- 27:18a text I said wait wait wait, wait wait wait wait you guys text,
- 27:25but you were Facebook messages him to join the twitch. No. Actually,
- 27:27if you notice in the stream, I had to switch accounts. I
- 27:30switched back to my old account then sent him the message so from the same
- 27:34Facebook message that he didn't answer for six Okay, wellk was on vacation last
- 27:41week. I don't know if you do this. There was not. He
- 27:45wasn't responding to me. He wasn't responding to the emails. Ten thirty at
- 27:48night. Where's the picture of the figuring on a motorcycle? I got a
- 27:56post about it. Now leave your wife and get alone. I'm glad Swaggles
- 28:02on brand here with his clothing choice. He definitely did not purpose. Yeah,
- 28:06I'm relaxing. I don't see why why I have to wear clothes in
- 28:10my own house. Well, somebody knew we might get in trouble, so
- 28:12really for being shirtless, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. That's it. I
- 28:17lost. I am the bosch man. I'm the bosch Mankukucho moo. Damn
- 28:22he's so upset. Oh that's upthing with Hornwaggle. I don't get that's why
- 28:38you guys found the hornwoggle things so funny. I don't know because there's no
- 28:44s I I let out like this evil laugh. Also, I don't know
- 28:51why I can't really explain it. Yeah, hornwoggle is pretty great. You
- 28:55see this? So horsewoggle? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
- 29:03yes, yes, his only turbuckle pad, which a makes no sense.
- 29:07They do it for everyone. Mark could have been could have been Duing
- 29:11Chocolate pro wrestling. He could have. First of all, he doesn't have
- 29:12owned the name horsewaggles is illegal. Let's say I end it. That oppen's
- 29:19too late. Uh so it says horne swaggle two words even though it's one
- 29:23word. And then that says like the same color as the turbule, right
- 29:29smell? Do you have it to hold up? Yes, I'll get it.
- 29:33Yeah, where'd you go? He did say hold on? Didn't I
- 29:37did? I did? You're right, I'm wrong, coming right here.
- 29:45Oh, man, give us a full screen to that baby. What's a
- 29:52horn? Battle? Man? I didn't even see that. Also also that
- 30:03horn, I feel that. Oh and the horn is in a Disney font,
- 30:06which must be illegal. Oh, the whole thing is at Disney five.
- 30:07He was just dripping on me for going to Disney World. Maybe he
- 30:11has Disney Fist in his logo already gone and I didn't make damn logo.
- 30:15Well, did you approve it? No, I saw it that day when
- 30:18I got there. Okay, then I'll give you a little pass. Yeah
- 30:21I believe that too. Guys, we have another prize courtesy of Turtle Beach.
- 30:25Jesus, it's another hold on. You knew that you hadn't revealed that
- 30:32one guy, and he could have given it to me. This is all
- 30:36true. Uh, text me afterwards. Okay, but I'm a wait for
- 30:41this micro brawler bro yesterday yesterday got my other one. Text me after this.
- 30:48I got something for you. This is a PS four one. This
- 30:52is wireless. Turtle Beach is the absolute best. Uh, same thing.
- 30:56You gotta answer this this trivia question correctly. The Ringside Exclusive edge Heads three
- 31:03and one figure all my idea available now Ringside Collectibles dot com. Name the
- 31:08pay per view and the year that that figure is depicting. Oh, let's
- 31:14seems so fast last time? Oh I got it right here, someone got
- 31:23it, but it went that's not its was pretty funny, That's it.
- 31:30M. Grant and Grant two thousand and seven. Congratulations, so yeah,
- 31:37so all right, well we got some good housekeeping guys. So many things
- 31:42that're throwing off Broskey tonight. So uh, last week on the show,
- 31:49we unboxed some of the new Target legends and their Target has been an absolute
- 31:56mess with with pre ordering them, and then like Target has been cancer those
- 32:00pre orders and delaying those pre orders and then they're showing up in the stores.
- 32:04Ring Skirts on Twitter wrote wrote this, I thought it was really funny,
- 32:07he wrote, collecting thought Target putting figures on the shelves before fulfilling pre
- 32:13orders from months ago and sometimes eventually canceling. It's kind of like it's kind
- 32:17of like Domino selling the pizza you ordered twenty minutes ago to a customer that
- 32:22just walked in. And I agree, yeah, I mean it's I think
- 32:25it's kind of bs that you pre order, you think you're having this and
- 32:29I get it, like you'll get it eventually, but I do think you
- 32:30should get it first and there definitely shouldn't be a chance that it gets canceled.
- 32:35My target, My Target has a horrible selection as Yes, it's definitely
- 32:42a distribution problems, just aj styles and then like one keeven oders that's like
- 32:47every target and always a reckon, like three reckon figures at mine, even
- 32:52though I don't I don't know. Yeah here it's the ultimate warrior from that
- 32:55set. Uh. I just watched the promo back again so I could figure
- 33:00out how to accurately to display him. And you gotta do the point finger
- 33:05because that's what he's does at the very end, and it's pretty damn accurate.
- 33:08Except he was wearing an open jacket, so it's not the it's not
- 33:14the end of the world, you know, but like he's an open jacket
- 33:19with a red vest, so it's not even open jacket with a plain white
- 33:21shirt. I'm with you, Cardona. That really upsets me. So,
- 33:28I mean, I don't know. This is a great figure, mckina.
- 33:30You're going down for that. I do. This is one of the best.
- 33:37So you worked with PWG. You get a pass man, you got
- 33:40you got, you got street cred with mckena because you're a PWJ. The
- 33:45fact that you just said his name, he is h A R D somewhere
- 33:46right. He wasn't when he was making it when he left me out of
- 33:51the Goldman series of Smack with Wrong. Okay, So can we talk about
- 34:02this is kind of I love that in our follow up and like update sometimes
- 34:06we update twenty year old figures, like how did this come up? And
- 34:10yeah, it's a discovery I kind of always knew about, but didn't know
- 34:15to the extent. The WCW Smash and Slam Goldberg. Okay, it's a
- 34:20figure Goldberg's first ever toy bass figure. It was a little delayed in the
- 34:23Smashing Slam line, like he wasn't in the original like ships he shipped like
- 34:29on his own, I want to say, right. And it's kind of
- 34:31strange because he comes with a masked wrestler who I use in f WF because
- 34:36it's not ray Masterio. It's a it's a masked wrestler, but it looks
- 34:39just like ray Masterio. But however, the Giant came with a mass wrestler
- 34:45whose name was ray Masterio, so that is technically rain Masterio. This is
- 34:47just a mass wrestler. I always thought that that at one point was going
- 34:52to be ray Masterio and toy business just like, ah, that's this,
- 34:55but let's use this mold we made, so you think that figure that would
- 35:00have been raised figure, It's yeah, it's the same guy. Can we
- 35:05can we put them up on the screen. Yeah, this one or the
- 35:07other one. Okay, So look, let's let's go go one at a
- 35:10time. Okay. So this one right here, I made this discovery and
- 35:15I posted about it. Not many people knew this. There's actually two versions
- 35:20of like the quote unquote ray one where he's like clearly bigger than the other
- 35:24one. I posted the picture on Instagram and our social media. It was
- 35:28like mind boggling to me, and then I was doing more research. There
- 35:31is variants with with different belts. There is variance with like chest hair.
- 35:36There's one where the raymis sterios in blue. There's there's a k B one
- 35:39ers wearing a KB shirt. Uh the small hold on hold on the bottom
- 35:45left one raymis Stereo turned into a silver thing. Hey, Mark, that's
- 35:50Colossus's dumbbell from the X Men line. Yeah, but it's just crazy.
- 35:54Technically there are six variants. There might even be more of really the same
- 36:00figure. I guess the KBE was a little special one, so maybe five
- 36:02variants of the same figure. Because those smashing slams they had some weird variants.
- 36:07So my thing on this, I remember the flat and rounded belt from
- 36:10when I was like actively collecting, and I obviously remember the blue and the
- 36:14red, but I don't remember the figure being bigger or smaller. I had
- 36:19the idea to use the masked wrestler in my fig fed FWF Cult's favorite show
- 36:23because all accessories are legal, and I realized I had two of them,
- 36:28Like, wait a minute, there, they're different sizes, Like what is
- 36:30this so? And then I asked deep freedom, who's a complete psychopath in
- 36:35a good way? And then a couple of hours was able to provide all
- 36:37those pictures. Matt Cardona says, someone else is a complete psychopath, and
- 36:44let's look at room behind it. Right, here's let's let's let's end it
- 36:50with this. If you're a Ramis Stereo completist, do you know you have
- 36:53these fis? No, because it's not raymis Stereo. Oh man, that's
- 36:58so. This is my reasoning. This is yes, if you have you
- 37:05have this figure in your hand, you're like, this was supposed to be
- 37:07right, okay, Cult. This is why I'll say no, because in
- 37:09the same exact set, the same series, there's a giant and he comes
- 37:15to like a little miniature figure like that, but they call him Raymisterio,
- 37:17and he's like neck elongates because they're giant, can him a choke slam.
- 37:21So if they called that Raymisterio, why wouldn't they call this guy Raymisterio.
- 37:25Yes, yes, it's a great variant to have it, like you know,
- 37:29it's mysterio, It's that's mysterio. Yeah, it's a that's a weird
- 37:32gray area for sure. And you have to get both red ones and the
- 37:35blue ones and the silver barbell. Oh god that you mentioned. You mentioned
- 37:45there were a kind of marians to those of all the figures or just oh
- 37:49there's some wild ones if you really Oh yeah, there's like Lex Luger where
- 37:53there's he has like red boots on, then the Lex Luger where has got
- 37:57black boots on. Then Alex Luger where it's like skate like got skin tight
- 38:00nWo shirt on, but like it's not even like NW. They're trying to
- 38:05ride it inside his horrible It's like not the actual logo. It's like like
- 38:08Mackenzie wrote it with a crayon nWo on his shirts where he's all ripped up
- 38:13to it, like it looks real bad. Don't forget the Lex Luga where
- 38:16he's a silver barbell. That makes sense. Actually, Yeah, there's like
- 38:24Hogan with like the Hogan Tan, Hogan with a regular Tan. There's staying
- 38:30with different faces and the Wolf packing and crow. No, I mean like
- 38:34that is different. Yeah. There a Scott Hall black and red and black
- 38:38and white, Macho black and white is the gambler with cards and without No,
- 38:45No, there's a hole in one Barry Darso with with clubs. You
- 38:52get what I'm saying, all right, So let's talk. Let's talk about
- 38:58this. The the Cody aw Chase went on sale on ringside this week.
- 39:05Cold. I don't know if you're aware of this, you know, are
- 39:07you kind of aware of what happen? No, but I heard you in
- 39:09the last podcast said MJF was the chase. And so I have a question
- 39:13for maybe someone who's a little newer to the new scene, who's not just
- 39:16holding out to their lgns. I've heard the I've heard the term chase variant.
- 39:22I don't know what it is. Okay, So forst this is getting
- 39:24good. So in series one, there's a Chris Jericho and a Cody.
- 39:31The Jericho is out of one thousand. It has a nice sticker on it
- 39:36and it's Jericho in like a different kind of outfit. So I have the
- 39:38Cody right here. I'll show you. This is a one of five hundred
- 39:42mark. We can go full screen. This is a very very rare figure.
- 39:47So there's only five hundred of these, randomly inserted of cases of series
- 39:52one, so super rare. Ringside Collectibles gifted this to me and went to
- 39:57Brian for celebrating two years, hundred episodes, So thank you very much.
- 40:01Yeah, somebody's saying Cody's going for five grand? What? Yeah, I
- 40:06saw something on the internet today like that. I saw it. I saw
- 40:09that a thousand, not five grands. I'm gonna right now. Is it
- 40:15is? It depends. You gotta see what's the soul list things. I
- 40:17bet you it doesn't even matter though, because that person might have followed through
- 40:21with the payment here but questions. So, like the the Cody, there's
- 40:27significant differences in the figure. There's a sticker that lets you know that it's
- 40:30the Chase, and like Matt said, is randomly inserted in cases, so
- 40:32like not every Walmart, no way is getting this, you know. So
- 40:36the term chase means like you gotta run out and get it. Is it.
- 40:38Yeah, you got you gotta seek it out, you know you chase
- 40:40after Yeah, it makes it different. It's and they're all different like this.
- 40:45This Cody has like that Star Trek shirt that he wore or whatever,
- 40:47and yeah, Like like if I were you and you talked to Jerry Budowan
- 40:52and you know you're coming out in a set, I would be like,
- 40:54hey man, we should do a Chase store. I'm in my dark order
- 40:57here and the regular ones in Michael Cabama, you know, traditional stuff,
- 41:00right, and like yeah, yeah, you know put that in their minds
- 41:04to like make it be like that, you know when I come out in
- 41:07series four hundred and twenty. Roster is a big roster. Jeremy has said
- 41:14that he wants to speed everything up, which is great, but about this
- 41:16coach. So people were super piss uh so called. What happened was ringside.
- 41:21Obviously they order these there. They are a specialty store. They can
- 41:24do whatever they want with the figures that came in. So they got these
- 41:28before anybody else. And in their cases, there were some of these Jerichos
- 41:31and some of these codies and they held onto them. They weren't going to
- 41:36randomly ship these out like This isn't Walmart, you know what I'm saying.
- 41:38So they're gonna they were waiting, and they did a surprise drop on the
- 41:44Jericho thirtieth anniversary and just put them on their site. They sold out in
- 41:47minutes, and then people were so mad that Ringside did this that they were
- 41:52that they charged I think they charged like ninety bucks when they were they're telling
- 41:54for over five hundred, you know, so like people were mad that they're
- 41:58charging over retail. People were mad that they didn't warn them that it was
- 42:00gonna be for sale, Like it would have been crazy if people knew that
- 42:04it was going to be a drop, right, So they did the same
- 42:07thing with this cody for this week, and honestly, I have no simpy
- 42:10if you didn't think this cody was going on sale this week. So I
- 42:15just did my research on this cody. They're ending at like twelve hundred to
- 42:19a thousand, and there's a decent amount of them that at the end of
- 42:23that point maybe maybe ten or so. So Ringside was selling them for two
- 42:27hundred bucks. But I mean, look how much they could have been selling
- 42:30them for. You know what I'm saying, This is like, this is
- 42:32like you know, John started ringside As as a teenager. This is as
- 42:37company started from from the ground floor. This isn't Walmart. It's not like
- 42:39he's he got all these figures from Walmart. It's like cherry picking the chases
- 42:44and then selling them on the internet. Like this is his business. Do
- 42:45you think he's throwing someone's on eBay under a friend's name. No, I
- 42:50don't think so. Why why would you not do that? He doesn't need
- 42:53the money. But the thing is a couple of people say I don't need
- 42:59the money, but I'm still subscriptions. In his defense, there is like
- 43:04an into his business, like hey, I got all these and I put
- 43:07them up. You know. But people were again so mad about this cody,
- 43:12like what do you really expect? Like there is no fair way to
- 43:15do this, and guess what, no one's gonna you know, there's no
- 43:19way we could all get it. You know. It's I know people are
- 43:22mad that I have it, so you know, so it's hard for me
- 43:24to say that. But trust me, I collect other things too where I
- 43:28miss out all the time. This happens in the sneaker business, definitely in
- 43:30the toy business, you know where stuff gets surprised, dropped, and anything
- 43:35in this world is in demand. This is this is what's gonna happen.
- 43:37I mean, that's just life. I don't know why. I never even
- 43:43the demand is greater than the supply. But Jeremy Badower, if you're watching,
- 43:46please moon the camera so I can kiss it, because you are a
- 43:52genius for doing all this, because look at what these figures are worth right
- 43:55now. People are going crazy over this, so too bad. Jeremy is
- 44:00tirelessly working on that four hundred and twenty series Cold Cabana right now, so
- 44:04we can't even look up to stop. What's the now? If there's like
- 44:08a Kyle O'Reilly Mattel chase, is it known how many of that there are?
- 44:16I think we're once stole one in four cases. So that's not even
- 44:19close to what we're talking about. Okay, okay, yeah, that's like
- 44:23my black single and blue. You know that it wasn't It's tougher to find,
- 44:29but not like impossible like this. Oh I didn't even think about yet.
- 44:30Like if you walk into Walmart and see one of these A W chases,
- 44:35you've literally just picked up a winning lottery ticket. You better head your
- 44:37ass to the register and paid the twenty bucks because wow, what are the
- 44:40stickers? Like, do you have a visual of it? They have the
- 44:45sticker. If you don't see this, I mean you can't miss it.
- 44:47And people are like, you're not going to find that in store. They're
- 44:51they're running for that right. Oh yeah, Like I would think it's like
- 44:53old school style, like people there when the doors opened, the check every
- 44:57day. But what about people that work at the Walmart Target? Yeah,
- 45:01yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like finding a winning lottery ticket,
- 45:05like literally you did something like unbelievable if you find that. But Rob Ego
- 45:09he posted in the Facebook group that there's a seller in Hong Kong who has
- 45:14a bunch of these things. I'm sorry to pronounce that, Rob, how
- 45:21do you spell the place? How do you sell on the place out Hong
- 45:23Kong's there's a seller anyway? So my my my thought is are they He's
- 45:36like faith If you follow any other toy lines, you know that these companies
- 45:44over overseas are are copying and bootlegging like like Necka, Turtles or Star Wars
- 45:51Black Series, and they're doing it almost so perfect. So the ones in
- 45:53Hong Kong. Are these we gotta move on there? Like they are they
- 46:00bootlegs or are they genuine? What I think? No, I think the
- 46:07bootlegs five hundred who who a lot of I think they're stolen. Good is
- 46:13what I think they are. That could also be true because they're way too
- 46:16much effort to make a bootleg of that, right, Like if you're in
- 46:20the factory and you're putting on that sticker, this is one of five hundred,
- 46:23rare edition, you might keep ten of them, you know what I'm
- 46:25saying. Yeah, there's some I smell collusion. Who aren't see these stickers
- 46:32aren't numbered? It doesn't say like dred that probably doesn't help to see how
- 46:37many one of five hundred stickers on there? Yeah, who's to say that's
- 46:43that's like the that's like the Monopoly documentary to me, or like the Cannon
- 46:50Griffey Junior card. Yeah, yeah, a rookie card. But I'm not
- 46:53saying that's what's going on. But it's I just loved these figures. Just
- 46:59the demands arounding these figures so far is great, Like you cannot find them
- 47:02on the shelves, and I try to explain the people who aren't like in
- 47:06the toy business that that is a good thing. You don't want these figures
- 47:08on the shelves warm and the pegs because then Walmart might not want to order
- 47:13series too. I think it's so cool. Okay, look at that.
- 47:19By the way, big thanks to Mary Kate Tonight, who's officiating as our
- 47:22moderator for our first big big stream here what Mary, kay give David c
- 47:28Anderson a superkick or something to get that spot? I don't even know if
- 47:30David is watching. Can I give you a Twitch recommendation after the podcast is
- 47:35done? Yeah? You should. You should stay on and the proper Twitch
- 47:37etiquette is to thank everybody that's subscribed and gave bits. Okay, well how
- 47:42do you do that? Like you just say thank you or get you seal
- 47:45the names? Who's the bit? Oh no, well twit Darren Rovel Now
- 47:53Darren, listen, let's cut to the chase. You are the guy about
- 47:58sports cards, about betting. I've been I'm not a sports card guy.
- 48:01I followed because of the wrestling cards, but I've been following your social media
- 48:05for months just your insight and what you've been posting. Uh, tell us
- 48:09for the fans who don't know, give us a quick elevator pitch if you
- 48:12will. I'm just who you are and why you're the guy that we should
- 48:15be talking to about these cards. So I cover the business of sports,
- 48:17did it for twelve and a half years at ESPN, six years at CNBC.
- 48:22Now I'm at the Action Network, which is a sports betting media site.
- 48:28And when you're talking about betting, you're talking about crypto, right,
- 48:31because like these days, these days, like if you want to bet on
- 48:36a game and it's it'll be over. But if you want to wake up
- 48:38and lose eight to ten to twenty thousand dollars and be like, oh my
- 48:42god, while I was sleeping, I lost money on crypto, I mean
- 48:45that's betting. Sports cards is betting. Everything is betting today, and I
- 48:50think some of it has to do with the fact, and that's why I
- 48:52cover it. I've I've collected memorabilia for the bulk of my life. But
- 48:58what's amazing is in COVID there's just something some part of the human condition that
- 49:04in order to replace our normal human interaction, we have now replaced it with
- 49:09having this dopamine that we need to fire into our brains like crazy, and
- 49:15we are satisfied by winning an eBay auction, doing crypto and waking and that's
- 49:22good bumping coffee, right, like we need to be juiced. We have
- 49:25never had the as humans. I think this is the craziest time for us,
- 49:30because if I would have told you a year ago, Matt, that
- 49:34sports betting would be the calmest thing going, you'd be like, no way.
- 49:37I'm like, yeah, no. So so we have the major wrestling
- 49:43Fervor podcast we started about two years ago, and we're not in the wrestling
- 49:46figure business. We're in the nostalgia business. Right, people that we say
- 49:51scratched that figure, which they want to get that figure that they never had,
- 49:54maybe the one they did have, relive, recreate childhood moments. And
- 49:59we were when this pandemic hit, like, oh my god, like,
- 50:01who's going to be buying this stuff? Our podcast is over, nobody's gonna
- 50:06buy anything. We're done, right, who's gonna buy our merch? You
- 50:08know? And it was the complete opposite. It's it's it's spiked like like
- 50:14we couldn't believe. And then that happened in the sports card world as yes,
- 50:17yes, you know it. It's it's crazy. I think what's interesting
- 50:22is that there were a lot of people mom forty two, and there were
- 50:25a lot of people from nineteen eight. From nineteen eighty five to nineteen eighty
- 50:30eight, if you were a kid, a boy ages six to ten,
- 50:37one hundred percent into wrestling. There was not a person who was not into
- 50:42wrestling. And I think, you know a lot for me, it was
- 50:45like okay, around maybe when I was twelve or thirteen, I left some
- 50:51of that followed Hulk Hogan, by the way, like just kind of the
- 50:53the arc of his career, and and and and I have not gotten back
- 51:01to it until the last three or four months. So we are in a
- 51:07place where the times are not great. Right, We're not going out again,
- 51:10I said, there's no human interaction or it's difficult. And so how
- 51:15do you harken back to joy? It's you go back to when things were
- 51:21amazing and innocent, and you can see that in a toy or a figure.
- 51:24And so what's happened is there's been a lot of new things that have
- 51:30come about, where like sealed toys. So some people have kept the wrestlers,
- 51:34the rubber LGN wrestlers from years ago, and they've kept them. They
- 51:37can't get rid of them, and they feel like a hoarder. But they
- 51:39just look at them and it just gets back to the old times. But
- 51:43in the past six months there's been a real rhythm on Sealed to collect the
- 51:47sealed figures and this is mirrored everything. So like a sealed iPhone one now
- 51:53goes for eighteen thousand dollars, right, yeah, as sealed, I have
- 52:00sealed music. I have it, so I play the memorability game. Like
- 52:04once there's news that comes out that Marvin gays What's going on is the best
- 52:07album of the last fifty years, I go by a sealed eight track.
- 52:13Right, five years ago, I could have gotten one for three hundred.
- 52:15Now people understand the value of sealed, and it costs me seventeen fifty,
- 52:20So, like, you know, it's amazing. So I had to get
- 52:23into Sealed rest my the LGN LJN Wrestlers, the original ones, and what
- 52:31I found was just absolutely fascinating. Now I'm gonna say something. You tell
- 52:36me if you agree or disagree. I think the value is high for a
- 52:38couple of reasons. One, at the time, we didn't see these as
- 52:42collectibles, so people were opening them and playing with them as opposed you look
- 52:45like like the ninety eight ninety nine figures, they're dirt cheap because they were
- 52:50overproduced and people bought them kept the box worth money, right the Jack's figures,
- 52:55Yes, people kept them in which is the same thing as the eighties
- 52:59star lineup. You you you you understood that it was okay to look it
- 53:05was in the collectible in a box. So absolutely no one for Christmas or
- 53:10Hanukah or whatever holiday was celebrating, got a toy and then didn't open it.
- 53:16The only people who didn't open it. And by the way, if
- 53:20you were a retailer for twenty twenty twenty five bucks, you're not keeping them
- 53:24either. I mean money's money in nineteen eighty five, eighty six, you
- 53:28know there'd be no reason to keep these. Same thing with the video game
- 53:31world. I'm into video games now. Sealed video games are going insane,
- 53:37especially Mike Tyson's punch Out in Super Mario. So like my my sealed video
- 53:42game was the unlicensed pro Wrestling, so you know, and and and they
- 53:50put it in a beautiful package, and you know, if it's sealed,
- 53:53it goes crazy. So seals seals very important, and you're right. I
- 53:59love to coll real scarcity, not false scarcity. You know, we're living
- 54:02in this collectibles world where people are like, oh, it's the one of
- 54:06one, Luca don Chich. I'm like, yeah, but you made it
- 54:08one of one. Like I want something like I want to look at a
- 54:13Hulk Hogan figure and be like, Okay, I couldn't believe when I said,
- 54:16all right, I'm gonna get these sealed figures. I couldn't believe what
- 54:20I found. Yeah, it's a crazy game, especially because those figures are
- 54:24so heavy. Past that weight of these, it's hard to kill. Let
- 54:29me tell let me tell you what I'm found out. Yeah, I want
- 54:31to know what you found out. Okay, so I found out that,
- 54:37And I'll hold one up in case you're you're using video. I don't know
- 54:39if you're doing. Okay, so unpunched. First of all, the yellow
- 54:47the bubble yellows. Yes, so the plastic yellows. So it's it's hard
- 54:52to get one where you can really see the figure. Second of all,
- 54:57the backs have not held up well. The corner are bad. There's some
- 55:00sort of tendency to like mold in some way, Like I'm not saying it
- 55:07was where it was stored. I'm saying that there's there's usually some dots around
- 55:10here, so to get a perfect untouched bubble, And you're right, the
- 55:15weight certainly has an impact on it. And then the fact that the glue
- 55:22was not meant to hold up for thirty five sure at all. So I
- 55:24mean, come on, it was meant to hold up for being in the
- 55:28store for six months. So I got a question. Those price tags on
- 55:31that, So that's what I love. Unfortunately, unfortunately, that's my question.
- 55:37It's unpunched. It wasn't. So unfortunately this one had the price tag
- 55:43ripped off, but it does say Kmart, so it was it was taken.
- 55:47It was taken from Kmart. And by the way, the ones that
- 55:51I wanted to collect are kind of basically the original of now Can Snuck and
- 55:55Giant. Yeah, I don't know if you know it. If you know
- 55:59this, you know that the original release of those come with little stands.
- 56:04Oh really, and it's even harder to get. Yeah, so those five
- 56:07base stand Yeah, so I wan, that's not that's not mine. That's
- 56:13not the world that I know. And oh yeah, that's I did get.
- 56:16I got the Jesse, the Jesse Ventura is just like, I mean,
- 56:21come on, it's now. The the LJN's it was such a weird
- 56:25time because they were in so many factories and mass producing these so much that
- 56:30for instances like different Jesse Venturas with like a brown mustache, a blonde mustache.
- 56:36It's crazy, I think. And you know what, Matt, I
- 56:38needed to collect the ones that I remembered, so I did not remember the
- 56:44Hulk in a like red there's a holk and a white shirt. A yeah,
- 56:47so those were later released. Those were just in Canada. Yeah,
- 56:52you know, so those the Black series. LJN loses the license and then
- 56:55it goes to Grand Toys for about a year or so, and it's just
- 56:59in Canada and those figures. I'm a kid at that. So I was
- 57:01born nineteen eighty five, So in nineteen eighty nine, when LJN is going
- 57:05to the tubes, I have no idea I'm missing Haku and Warlord. It's
- 57:09not until I go to a complic. That's that's what's so awesome. And
- 57:15so so like as cards are going crazy and you have all this real scarcity,
- 57:20I am really starting to look into give me real scarcity, you know.
- 57:24So I then build this ridiculous ticket collection and I found it. This
- 57:30is the same principles. There were ninety thousand people in the Pontiac Superdome for
- 57:37WrestleMania three for you know, how the hell has there only been five tickets
- 57:43that have surfaced on people really so like and then and you have listen,
- 57:47you're you have to pay the prices for the for the wrestlers, for the
- 57:52for a good sealed hogan, you know right now. I paid twelve hundred,
- 57:55thirteen hundred for that, you know, but I think that's just the
- 58:00beginning. I'm used to getting in the sealed early. What's your what's your
- 58:06intentions with those? To grade them or definitely grade? What do you got
- 58:08their? Man? So this this I have, I'm we say let them
- 58:13breathe on the show. I'm we I buy things, you know, as
- 58:15a fan, I'm buying them to collect them display in my room. But
- 58:19someone like the Macho man I bought a couple of years ago, and I
- 58:21bought this for four hundred bucks, and that was expensive a couple of years
- 58:23ago. This is a pretty damn good shot. That's at least that in
- 58:28that condition, that's at least a thousand. Yeah, so it's just unbelievable
- 58:30the value of these things in just a couple of months a year or so,
- 58:35Like last year before the pandemic, I met up with someone for the
- 58:38Hasbro collection the early nineties. I bought the whole set at once for like
- 58:42ten thousand dollars and it wasn't a steal, but I didn't get ripped off,
- 58:45and I was like, I'll just do it to have it all munch.
- 58:49It's like ninety five ish or so, and again I have them all
- 58:52out of the package mint, but I wanted them nice in the package.
- 58:54Now, telling you from someone who you got to realize you're a first,
- 58:58You're a first ground floor. That is an unreal deal. Oh and nowadays
- 59:04now it's like, oh my god, I can't believe I only bought it
- 59:06for ten k right, and the guy who sold his by kicking himself.
- 59:08But if you see, if you see what's going on, I mean,
- 59:13just from this again, let's just talk in general about the scarcity. You
- 59:16know, I was the guy behind the Dwayne Johnson bub will be Tuna card.
- 59:21You know, I'm sitting there in June and I'm looking at, well,
- 59:23what cards can I buy it for? Cheap that just have real scarcity,
- 59:27And I'm thinking, okay, well, Dwayne Johnson played on the nineteen
- 59:30ninety four Miami team. They gave out twenty thousand sheets. He's not really
- 59:34the Rock the Rock until two thousand, so you have a gap of six
- 59:38years. Meanwhile, Ray Lewis and Warren Sapper in that set, people are
- 59:43ripping those out. But when you rip those out, you're not keeping the
- 59:45rest of the sheet. You're throwing it out. So I'm thinking to myself,
- 59:47God, by two thousand and two, two thousand and three, when
- 59:51it's really the Rock, and then when he's a movie star two thousand and
- 59:53six seven, there can't be a lot. And I'm looking at the population
- 59:58reports, and so I bought up one in a pesa nine, nine out
- 1:00:00of ten for seven hundred and twenty bucks. And by the time people realize
- 1:00:06it, you know, I sold it for sixteen thousand last week. Like
- 1:00:10I mean, anytime, people are like, oh, it's gonna go up
- 1:00:13more, and I'm like, no, no, no, I think thirty
- 1:00:15X is not too piggish, right, Well, that's what it's about.
- 1:00:20The tickets that the the WrestleMania, Uh, the WrestleMania ticket, which I
- 1:00:25anytime I can find something that has crazy, you know, potential, real
- 1:00:30scarcity. So like you know the the one page program from WrestleMania, Oh
- 1:00:37my god, right, I mean it's cool as hell and and I mean
- 1:00:42there can't be one hundred of these, right, What do you do to
- 1:00:46like prove not prove, but like what are some of your steps when you're
- 1:00:52doing the detective work to like figure out the scarcity of something. So one
- 1:00:55is just really you really have to be careful. So for WrestleMania three,
- 1:01:00for example, that's when you first started. I teach myself things, right,
- 1:01:05So, like I bought something. I can't say what it is yet
- 1:01:08because I'm not announcing it. But I bought something for one hundred twenty seven
- 1:01:12thousand last week. And the detective work that I did to make sure that
- 1:01:17it was what they said it was is like, if you're going to spend
- 1:01:21one hundred twenty seventh then right, okay? And I mean lock stock.
- 1:01:25And you know it was at a smaller auction and it's a it's an item
- 1:01:30that will sell for two or three million within two or three years. It
- 1:01:34was just stuck in the wrong what I do is I find things in the
- 1:01:37wrong auction houses or the description isn't good enough, I arbitrage people's inexperience.
- 1:01:44But but like so for WrestleMania three, that's when you started to have the
- 1:01:50closed captioning and people are sorry, the pay per views where people would go
- 1:01:54to different like the NASAU policy, and like, you just got to be
- 1:01:58careful. Some guys said to me, I just bought you just said it
- 1:02:00was their hardest ticket. I just bought WrestleMania three, and I'm like,
- 1:02:05no, that says CCTV nassa coluge if you're watching what was happening in the
- 1:02:10Silver Dome, and he's like, oh man, so I think you just
- 1:02:14have to You just have to be really careful, know the details, know
- 1:02:19what it looks like, which is extremely hard. I own a ticket where
- 1:02:22there's only been one that has surfaced from nineteen twenty one, and it's like,
- 1:02:28you know you better. It's a little bit harder, But this is
- 1:02:31the game. This is what's fun. I like the chase as much as
- 1:02:35getting the item. Yeah, do you think so? Matt and I have
- 1:02:37kind of come up with this theory over the years that like more of this
- 1:02:40stuff exists. It's just like die hard collectors are just kind of keeping it
- 1:02:45close to the chest. I think more has been thrown out than you imagine,
- 1:02:49like more, you know. I think about Michael Jordan Rookie cards and
- 1:02:52now I had a PSA one, so one out of ten total garbage at
- 1:02:55three three heads, like three pin holes in it, right. I think
- 1:03:00about all the people that were like, once grading started, man, this
- 1:03:04is garbage. I missed it. I can't believe there's a stain on it.
- 1:03:07The cheapest Jordan, like a piece of garbage that was dipped in a
- 1:03:12toilet is selling for forty I think people threw them out right because they were
- 1:03:19like, ah, I missed it, you know. But if they waited
- 1:03:22around until twenty twenty one, it's worth five thousand dollars, you know,
- 1:03:27Like, but you would have never known that. I think people have a
- 1:03:30collectible and they give up, right, they give up, and they don't
- 1:03:35realize. So I think a lot is thrown out. Tickets are just so
- 1:03:38damn fascinating. You got to remember, an event becomes more important over time.
- 1:03:45We only know that WrestleMania was so special that WrestleMania three, after the
- 1:03:51first twenty happened and you're like, oh my god, that was the moment,
- 1:03:55right, talk about the tickets. Sorry, go ahead, no,
- 1:03:59So I'm just gonna give you an example. It's a little bit more of
- 1:04:00it, but this is this is real. Gives you the example of when
- 1:04:04people realize, so JFK, the dinner that JFK was supposed to be at
- 1:04:11the night he got shot, there's hundreds of tickets from that dinner, but
- 1:04:15there's very few from the breakfast in Fort Worth that day. Why because people
- 1:04:20threw them out immediately, right because they it wasn't important. That's a day
- 1:04:27or that's actually ten hours, so you know, and then there's other things
- 1:04:30that people do. So like, let me give you a great example on
- 1:04:33tickets. And I don't mean to steer this to tickets, but I think
- 1:04:35it just drives drives the point home of scarcity. So the Michael Jordan's shrug
- 1:04:43game, right when he goes you know, when he does his shrug.
- 1:04:46Okay, So the back of the ticket has if the bull scored more than
- 1:04:53one hundred points, you get a free pizza Pizza Hut. They scored like
- 1:04:56one hundred twenty two, Okay, it says if the bull hold there the
- 1:05:00opposing team to under a hundred, they did, they held the Trailblazers to
- 1:05:04eighty nine, you get a free lottery ticket. Do you know how many
- 1:05:10people gave up their tickets for a pizza or that's cannot create for six to
- 1:05:15eight hundred dollars? But there were buckets of that yet at the seven eleven
- 1:05:21where you could get the lottery ticket or the pizza hut. So those things,
- 1:05:26I mean, there's just different things that make it make something so scarce.
- 1:05:30The Rudy Game, Like I bought the Rudy Game ticket for sixteen hundred
- 1:05:34dollars and I'm like, God, this is crazy. But you know what,
- 1:05:38no one even knew the story until the movie came out. That's a
- 1:05:42twenty year gap. So this is these are all the scarcity things that you
- 1:05:47have to consider as a collector. And I think I think the rubber wrestlers
- 1:05:53in good condition, out of sealed gives it a market, right, there's
- 1:05:56some liquidity. But then if you want to get the top of the tip
- 1:06:00up the great sealed ones, I think those are gonna fly. And I
- 1:06:02still think it's early days. Yeah, And and that's a scary part is
- 1:06:05that I believe it is the early days, but that jump from a we
- 1:06:10call it loose set that's mint to them in the package, it's like it's
- 1:06:14really like night and day. And some of those are damn near impossible to
- 1:06:17find, especially some of those later Black Card ones or the ones we were
- 1:06:20talking about earlier with the stands, So it gets really really complicate. Like
- 1:06:25I had I bought a Vince McMahon and I was like, I have never
- 1:06:28seen Vince McMahon, Like that seemed to be a Canadian only again right,
- 1:06:33Yeah, so the Vince I believe was the United States also, because then
- 1:06:36there's the foreign cards, which it gets really complicated with like the French wording
- 1:06:41and like and then if you open like they see the old McMahon they spilled
- 1:06:45being on the bottom, but then they had it it said trademark Vince mc
- 1:06:48m A n N. And I'm like, what I know. Yeah,
- 1:06:53it's very strange. So even those posters that come in those LJN's, like
- 1:06:57the posters for the final Black Card series, just up poster out of the
- 1:07:00package. They're going for over a thousand dollars for something like a Macho Man
- 1:07:04or a jake. The snake are like almost impossible to get for a poster
- 1:07:09up, not even the figure the poster. So I think it's only gonna
- 1:07:13get worse, which is great for us because we love this though. It's
- 1:07:15it's amazing, and I think the grading companies help it too. The fact
- 1:07:18that you know, what is it the guys that is it AFA, what's
- 1:07:23the what's the Yeah? I mean those those guys are the water guys for
- 1:07:27video games, like to have a stand that you could stand up nicely,
- 1:07:31and it makes it a piece of art just when it jogs people's nostalgia and
- 1:07:38you're like, oh my god. And I tell people, you know,
- 1:07:42you should be different. So like the eighty two whole, So the Wrestling
- 1:07:45All Stars set right there, that moved too fast on me, right,
- 1:07:49So I wanted to get in and I was like, god, I'm too
- 1:07:53late. So I'm like, well, what is my solution? What can
- 1:07:56I do? So I decided that I had to get the first VHS of
- 1:08:05his highlights sealed. Oh yeah, I look at that man, so you
- 1:08:09know, completely sealed his first AWA highlights and that's like, you know again,
- 1:08:17uh not rated thirty minutes The American Wrestling Association. Look at Andre on
- 1:08:23the back. That's incredible. I mean Andre, by the way, his
- 1:08:27signature is ridiculous. How hard I mean you're paying. You're paying thirteen to
- 1:08:31eighteen hundred for just a standard Andre the Giant and Jay russom Off is like
- 1:08:36thirty eight hundred, Like it's it's it's amazing. There's so little out there.
- 1:08:42And again, people, I made this play because everything I do is
- 1:08:46is strate like I love it, but it's also strategic. And by the
- 1:08:50way, if you do get a ninety nine figure, and I don't know
- 1:08:54if you can, so I got a Rocky My via but I but I
- 1:08:59have the Rock sign it. So Rock the Rock has signed the package ender.
- 1:09:03So at least you know you got to get something completely special. I'm
- 1:09:08trying to find the I did take out my My My WrestleMania. Don't don't
- 1:09:15lose that one, Darren my WrestleMania three ticket. So yeah, you mentioned
- 1:09:21the autographs. What does that do to something like if you have, for
- 1:09:27example, Brian behind you has those Hasbro figures all signed, like does that
- 1:09:33it doesn't? Is a weird signing is a weird thing, right, Like
- 1:09:39in cards sometimes it devalues it. You know, people have to make their
- 1:09:43own decisions. I think it depends like I think it depends on whether it's
- 1:09:49rare or not. Like as you said, I wanted to get the ninety
- 1:09:53nine Rock or the two thousand Rock, the Rocky my Via, but I
- 1:09:58knew that it was garbage because so many people have them unless I had a
- 1:10:01differentiator, which is signing it. So it seems like the market wants to
- 1:10:10charge you more for signing. For me, I'd rather have what I had
- 1:10:15that I opened. I didn't have a signed one is the guy is the
- 1:10:18caveat deceased people that you know that could be. I think it just depends
- 1:10:28on. Listen, if you have a p you know, things that are
- 1:10:31perfectly sealed. I think there's so little anyway that if you're looking to sell
- 1:10:36it, I think you'll find someone who will. I mean I again,
- 1:10:42I think that the people who invested early on just like you guys, like
- 1:10:47you have to hold on now, you have to hold on because I think
- 1:10:50some of the video game guys they were like, oh my god, I'm
- 1:10:54ten xing my early investment and it's like, m well, you guys,
- 1:11:00just like so the first I don't know if this is the same thing.
- 1:11:02It sounds like it is, because the early video game guys were like this
- 1:11:06one is this version and there's only one version of this, and I'm like,
- 1:11:10yeah, but Ice Climber, that game sucked, like like no wonder,
- 1:11:15there's no none of them. It's failed. It was dead on arrival,
- 1:11:18Like that game suck, and the guy's like, I know, but
- 1:11:20there's fewer of them. So, like I make fun of a first generation
- 1:11:24video game person, I'm like, I got ten games. They're the games
- 1:11:28we all played. I'm not dumb the game, but the first generations like
- 1:11:31oh and this is a rev this with this color back and the blue dots.
- 1:11:36Like I think you guys are a little bit like that, right,
- 1:11:39because you when you were going into the shirt variations, right, oh yeah.
- 1:11:43But I also think that the demand is greater than the rarity. Something
- 1:11:45could be one of one, right, but if nobody wants it, then
- 1:11:48it's valueless. So like, for instance, like the prototypes of like these
- 1:11:53ljns, Like I have some lj and hand painted resin prototype I saw I
- 1:11:57saw one of those on ebays, so I have a couple of them.
- 1:12:00And like the prices of those. Trust me, I've spent a lot of
- 1:12:02money on some of those. But like now, Mattel makes the figures,
- 1:12:06right, so if you find a Mattel hand paid the prototype, it's like
- 1:12:11nobody cares. So maybe it sells for like fifty bucks. This is a
- 1:12:14crazy story. Uh. Last year I had LJ and the company that we
- 1:12:18were talking about. They made in the in house. I don't know why,
- 1:12:23and I don't condone this, but a few naked Miss Elizabeth, there's
- 1:12:27still one on an eBay. Okay, naked, like I'm talking pictures like
- 1:12:30pubic hair, nipples like he died. I was not, no, no,
- 1:12:34no no. This made in the eighties. Yeah, so I collect
- 1:12:40these prototypes. This was presented to me. I got it with a bunch
- 1:12:43of other ones, and like I wasn't necessarily proud of it because it's weird,
- 1:12:46right, let's not. Let's be honest, it's weird. So I
- 1:12:47had it on display, focused on the rarity probably right, but let's okay,
- 1:12:51So I we we do all this stuff on YouTube, Twitter or whatever.
- 1:12:57We did a YouTube video that the history of the LJ and figure.
- 1:13:00I'll send you it like you might enjoy it. And she plug our YouTube
- 1:13:03channel and we showed the Elizabeth and we even like blurred it out right because
- 1:13:09we didn't want to show it. I got into contacted. You got hammered.
- 1:13:12I got hammered, right, And I bought it for maybe I'm back
- 1:13:16gonna say what I bought it for, but I that's I end up selling
- 1:13:19for forty five thousand dollars. Okay, So maybe I bought it four thousand
- 1:13:25and five, like very low, and like, how could you turn that
- 1:13:27down? It's like that's the gamble right there, right, because could I
- 1:13:30hold it and maybe get more I don't know, or I can make thousands
- 1:13:34and thousands of dollars. That's what I think is the gamble and the thrill
- 1:13:38and the addiction that we all love. So so you hit on something,
- 1:13:42which is that you were able to tell the story a lot. I'm never
- 1:13:46scared about spending, you know, fifty one hundred hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
- 1:13:50If I have the story right, I will never lose. I'm a
- 1:13:55storyteller, right, You're a storyteller. Half half that person bought that because
- 1:14:00you were able to tell the story and made them feel good about it.
- 1:14:05I'll tell you quickly about my check collection, which is really weird, very
- 1:14:11weird d but it's worth ten x of what I bought it. So I
- 1:14:15go to this card show five years ago and the guy hands me a stack
- 1:14:18at checks and I'm like, how much are they? An he goes it's
- 1:14:21fifty bucks each, And I'm thinking to myself, well, why would they
- 1:14:25be the same? Like one could be like the Pete Rose investigation and one
- 1:14:29could be for a Hurtz rent a car. Why would they be the same.
- 1:14:32And I realized that the only reason that people collect checks is because they
- 1:14:35feel a little bit better about the authenticity of the signature. That's all.
- 1:14:41They don't care about the story. And I go, well, if I
- 1:14:44collect checks that have stories, right exactly what you're doing, what you did
- 1:14:47with the Miss Elizabeth, you have a captive audience who is interested in this
- 1:14:53stuff. Guy probably didn't know and was like, wow, this is rare
- 1:14:57and this is crazy. And as a kid, I love Miss Elizabeth and
- 1:14:59whatever. So I have a check collection that's unrivaled because I can tell these
- 1:15:04stories and I love the story. So I have Babe Ruth paying for the
- 1:15:06equivalent of fifteen thousand dollars worth of alcohol. I have jfk paying for his
- 1:15:14Washington Post subscription three months before he became president. I'm Joe Montana paying for
- 1:15:18his freshman year apartment at Notre Dame. I have Amelia Earhart paying for nose
- 1:15:23surgery, you know. So like it's not only getting like who you like,
- 1:15:29but it's also like, I have Larry David committing a federal crime.
- 1:15:34Basically, so, Jay Leno paid Larry Charles, who is Larry David's best
- 1:15:40friend, ten dollars for comedy material in nineteen seventy eight, and on the
- 1:15:45back of the check, Larry David endorses it. You can't endorse a check
- 1:15:48that's not written out to you. That's a crime. And I'm thinking,
- 1:15:51I said, oh my god, this is the greatest. Is like a
- 1:15:54Curb Curb your Enthusiasm episode. Larry's like, my name is Larry. Your
- 1:15:58Name's like I go to the bank noo, you know, and just you
- 1:16:00know, I'll trick the banker. I know the banker, you know.
- 1:16:02Like, so anyway, the story is so important and I think you were
- 1:16:06able to tell the story. And I think that's why you have confidence when
- 1:16:10you buy stuff that you have a love for the story and there's something great.
- 1:16:15Yeah, I think, what what's your opinion on some people? I
- 1:16:17think us included, we love this so much that I feel like we're creating.
- 1:16:23I hate to use the word fake markets because you look at the eBay
- 1:16:26sould listening, they're not fake. People are paying. But for instance,
- 1:16:28there's this I don't know if you are you feeling with the WWF trivia game,
- 1:16:30the Cardinal trivia game with that Rocky card right because people went so when
- 1:16:35the Dwayne Johnson Bumblebee became too much, people said, oh, the nineteen
- 1:16:40ninety seven Rocky might be is right, Yeah, because now people are now
- 1:16:44people are starting to think, Okay, there's this company just toys. They
- 1:16:47made wrestling figures, and there's a Rocky my Via Bendham and on the back
- 1:16:50of it it's like a little punch out card. So now that Rocky my
- 1:16:55Via, which this is happening. This is happening everywhere in cards. It's
- 1:16:59unbelievable. People looking for angles. So so I had to make the call
- 1:17:04about six months ago. I needed a Tiger Woods and I'm thinking to myself,
- 1:17:09Okay, what is the real rookie is it the ninety six Sports Illustrated
- 1:17:14for Kids card or is it the two thousand and one upper deck card.
- 1:17:16Now, normally the rule is pack pulled. It has to be pack pulled
- 1:17:23to be a rookie. But now you have a situation. Now you have
- 1:17:26a situation where Tiger Woods two thousand and one card to me, can't be
- 1:17:31a rookie. He was five years into the tour and won five majors.
- 1:17:35How could that be a rookie. And then you have the fact that the
- 1:17:39Dwayne Johnson, the fact that that was perforated. Perforated used to be like,
- 1:17:43oh, that's not a card meant to really be a card. It
- 1:17:45was meant to be a sheet. The fact that Dwayne Johnson becomes a card
- 1:17:48the bumble Bee Tuna then gives rise to Okay, this Tiger card could be
- 1:17:53legit. So people are looking for any angles. This is not just an
- 1:17:58and I would just say because listen, people are looking to attack me even
- 1:18:02though I'm trying to help them with memorabilia. The only thing I'm very clear
- 1:18:06about is full disclosure. Sure, I will always tell you that I have
- 1:18:12X number of these cards I've invested in. It I believe in it,
- 1:18:15and I usually don't have twenty, so I go get one rock card.
- 1:18:18I say, I have one rock card. One guy got ten and he
- 1:18:21made the fortune, not me. So I would just say they're not fake
- 1:18:25markets, they're real markets. And as long as you guys disclose what your
- 1:18:30interests are and what you have, I think there's nothing wrong with it.
- 1:18:33Every this is mirroring every single place people are going to find anything. I
- 1:18:38bought a Christopher Walkin was a child actor. There's a nineteen fifty three card
- 1:18:45of a seven year old Christopher Walkin again, so I'll be like, that's
- 1:18:47weird, that's kiddie porn whatever it is, right, But but again you
- 1:18:51walk the line with the Miss Elizabeth so and you look at the population reports
- 1:18:57of these things. Now, the cardinal trip when you're getting into trivia games
- 1:19:01that that, by the way, that is probably more prevalent out there.
- 1:19:09People have tons of those sets, not the even the tradtional size of a
- 1:19:15trading card. Like I just couldn't believe it it blew up the way it
- 1:19:17did. But there are actually European trivia sets often have been the rookies of
- 1:19:24some of these guys. A sticker. Listen, I used to dis a
- 1:19:27sticker. I used to kill a sticker, right, not a card,
- 1:19:30not a card, not a card. Then you have the Mike Tyson situation.
- 1:19:34His next card is like seven years away from from his nineteen eighty five
- 1:19:40Panini sticker. Wow. And there's a nineteen eighty five Italian Panini sticker of
- 1:19:44which there's only forty five that have been graded, and then there's eighty six
- 1:19:46US and that creates something. So I settled on, Okay, I'm gonna
- 1:19:50have to buy the eighty five Italian Panini sticker. So but again, previously
- 1:19:55to this year not legitimate. It used to be the magazine cutouts were completely
- 1:20:01not legitimate. And then this nineteen fifty eight Peelee magazine cut out PSA goes
- 1:20:08and grades it, and by the virtue of them grading it, they just
- 1:20:11made it a card and then it sells for like one hundred grand. So
- 1:20:15there's a lot of things going on right now, and people are just looking
- 1:20:18for angles. Oh my goodness, what another episode of the Major rewind.
- 1:20:31I feel like I know a lot of the fans. An apology. I
- 1:20:39just pasted a weekend. We did a creative pro live and n Brook.
- 1:20:53I came up short. I didn't get the job done. We started the
- 1:21:00show off hot, a lot of great moments, but I failed. I
- 1:21:10lost. Even though I didn't get pinned, I still I feel weird about
- 1:21:20it. Yeah, it's not a good time right now. I gotta be
- 1:21:31evaluate. I had to figure out what's uh. I gotta figure out what's
- 1:21:39going on in what changes. I gotta make some changes, that's for sure.
- 1:21:48You just gotta be willing to make those changes. You know things aren't
- 1:21:55going your way. I feel like you're doing better. Well, you don't
- 1:22:02just keep doing the same thing, right, you know, you don't just
- 1:22:05keep keep yourself in that pattern. And you have to fight. You gotta
- 1:22:17get those batteries. You gotta stuff them in and just go for it.
- 1:22:25You gotta you gotta pull the trigger. You know, all right, it's
- 1:22:32gotta get it done. But you might have to change certain patterns and certain
- 1:22:42behaviors to get And I can't even get my microphone or work. I sound
- 1:22:50like I'm underwater or I'm on the radio. I don't know what the issue
- 1:22:54is. It hasn't done this before. See, this is this is what
- 1:23:01I'm talking about. Just another another obstacle in your in your boy's way.
- 1:23:09Another another what is it? What would you call it? Another roadblock?
- 1:23:15That's what it is. Not a cell of roadblock, but a roadblock nonetheless,
- 1:23:20just like the many that I'm faced with in life, and it has
- 1:23:24me feeling not great. Yeah, not not great at all. I don't
- 1:23:30know what's going on with my microphone. I'm gonna see what I could do
- 1:23:34about getting it fixed. You know, I want to. I want to
- 1:23:39give you guys the best, because otherwise what am I doing? You know?
- 1:23:45I feel a lot of ways, a lot of different times. Sometimes
- 1:23:50I feel silly, I feel happy. Sometimes I feel like God don't have
- 1:24:04a pardner. Sometimes I feel like my own friend is the city. I
- 1:24:14live in the city of Vanos. Only as I can't together, we cry,
- 1:24:30I drive on the streets. Curse she's my I walk through bills.
- 1:24:38Curse she goes through I am, she sees my goode say she kisses when
- 1:24:47I'll never work. Really now that it is a lie, I I don't
- 1:25:00ever wanna feel like God did that day I take me to the place I
- 1:25:05love, have taken me all the way. I don't ever wanna be like
- 1:25:15God did that day, I take me to the place I love, take
- 1:25:19me all the way. Yeah, it's hard to believe that there's nobody out
- 1:25:38there. It's hard to move me that I'm all alone. At least I
- 1:25:45have her love and she loves me, know me, Yes, I I
- 1:25:53have to do. We cry. I don't ever wanna feel like God.
- 1:26:05Dude, that thing I take me to the place I love, take the
- 1:26:12way, And I don't ever wanna be my God. Did that thing?
- 1:26:18I take me to the place I love, take go the way. Yeah,
- 1:26:28care no, yeah, yeah, love me so gay. Yeah.

- 1:27:02under the West. Time I give my love away. Yeah yeah, no
