what you might be saying is it drove up prices and many of the people who were collectors before the podcast are getting priced out of things. Exactly what I'm saying. It killed collecting for a lot of people because it priced a lot of people out of collecting lines that used to be somewhat affordable, like OSFTM ECW and they even spiked the Jakks BCA line prices earlier this year too. |

their podcast has killed collecting wrestling figures for a lot of people I would argue the opposite. I'd say they made it much more popular. I guess what you might be saying is it drove up prices and many of the people who were collectors before the podcast are getting priced out of things. --- I think that is the argument. It's a lot more competitive and the prices are much higher, but it's a larger community than it was a few years ago. THat's not all down to them, but they did play a part along with podcasts that preceeded them and Netflix show "The Toys That Made Us". It's okay to not like them, but in my opinion it's not fair to say they're "not good workers". Meyers especially is technically sound. His track record as a trainer over the past several years speaks for it's self. Cardona is very much the WWE look and style, which isn't everybodies thing, but that makes sense since he spent about fifteen years with the company. I haven't got the cards yet, but they're on my list. How I'll use them is up in the air. Maybe have them be the WWECW infusion to my Philadelphia promotion, trying to "calss up" the grunge and filth of the place. Instead of a first blood match, they will demand a "no blood match". Demanding strict rules and no weapons, thinking they're the babyfaces while the fans treat them like the heels. Stuff like that. IDK, just coming up with ideas as I type. |

Get ready for Wrestling Buddy prices to spike soon too...even more than they did already. Very glad I got my Macho King buddy for $40 last year at a con. Personally the podcast has inspired me to collect toys again, and I have learned a ton more about the different product lines than I knew before. |

I still have my Hogan, Warrior and Savage i got when I was little but I'm not looking forward to seeing how crazy the prices on the LOD, Boss Man and Jake ones get. |

I miss my old Ted DiBiase one. Myers and Cardona have been doing average for me so far.

Only one I still have is a Adrian Adonis still in the package |

I have a few loose LJN, but they are all common and in terrible shape. Sold my Hasbro's and Galoob's a few years ago. Not selling my Remco's I do have the first series of ECW OSFTM on card though. Mostly loose Jakks Ruthless Aggression and Classic Superstars. Some in package. So if you know somewhere I could post and get rid of those...that'd be awesome! I know I'm not making a killing on them, but selling them to people who actually want them is better than a yard sale any day of the week! |
