The lack of a checklist is common in trading cards today. The manufactures had complaints from the distributors and low level dealers about issues moving product due to bad checklists. The upside is Leaf has said they are working on cut autos for Legends 2 and named Andre as their goal card. Topps may finish the year off poorly but Leaf may end it with a bang.

The sell sheet info said there would be 30,000 relic cards and fewer than 4,000 autographs. With two hits per box that would put the autos 3 per every two cases. The issue is in who signed for the product and are the relics shirts or mats/ring skirts. When the sell sheet dropped there were comparisons to Champions, but with some half-hearted compensation for the price. This is really pissing me off. This looked like it would be a really good set, but these hit ratios are complete bull5hit. I haven't bought a single card from the chrome last set. Topps can go themselves. I was probably going to buy at least 2 hobby boxes of this but now I'm not going to buy any. This is really disappointing because IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. They're so mother ing lazy and they haven't released a checklist, or anything. !!!!! I wish I could give you 100 more thumbs up..

Then again, there could be blaster boxes with a relic, and retail boxes which could throw the numbers off. Then again the blasters could have a manufactured patch card for each Mania and the retail could have autos as well.

I just read the nxt takeover results and I'm pretty hyped that I got my Baron Corbin Plate now. I knew when I saw him that he was special I just hope WWE keeps going with it and he proves himself.

So I went to two indy shows today... first time I've done that lol. It was fun... First was the Alpha1 Wrestling show in Hamilton, Ontario. I somehow found wifi in the parking lot of the thrift store in Stoney Creek and I found a twitter contest where a guy was giving away a ticket to the indy show. I entered and won. I actually think I was the only one that entered lol. That saved me $20 admission! The doors opened at 3 and there was a "pre-show" going on. I just wanted my autograph so I could jet over to Smash Wrestling to meet Kharma. Just before 4 o'clock, I see Curt head over to the merch stand and so of course, I go up to him. I ask if he is charging for autographs, and he was charging $10. Not too bad, I guess. He then signed my encyclopedia and posed for a picture with me. I thanked him and he told me "no problem.. but that's $10". I completely forgot to pay the guy lol. I bet he thought I was trying to get away with getting an autograph, but I legitimately forgot. As I was leaving, I thought that I might as well get another autograph. I figured, I saved on admission, and he's right there, so why not? I quickly put a trading card in my program as a 'bookmark' and go back to Curt's table. I tell him I wanted another autograph, and hand him $10 right away lol. I open up my program, remove the trading card and he signed my program. He then told me "give me the card.. I'll sign that too!" We shook hands and I left. After ,We went straight to Smash Wrestling. When I walked into the venue, Jimmy Korderas was there in his referee outfit. I got him to sign two 4x6 photos that I developed of him and I. The actual show was pretty fun. Better than the average indy show in my opinion. There were rules saying that you couldn't record videos and the old man beside me recorded videos anyway. One guy told him to stop. He didn't. Another guy then told him to stop and threatened that he would be kicked out. He stopped lol. During intermission, Kharma and the other wrestlers were signing autographs. Kharma was really nice.. it seemed like she really enjoyed meeting fans. She was charging $5 on personal items, or $10 for her own 8x10 photos. I got two autographs from her. When I handed her my program to sign. She looked at it and made a strange look. She look at the cover of the program and the back of the program. She seemed really confused. The guy behind me told her "oh yeah.. that's an older wwe program!" and Kharma responded "I didn't even know of this! I need to get one of these!" I thought that was pretty odd lol. We posed for a picture after she signed my stuff. Really fun day. It looks like the events are piling up like they did back in April/May. Today: Kharma and Curt Hawkins Next Sunday: Rocky Johnson In Two Weeks: Hammer Town Comic Con Yikes!

Road to WrestleMania Auto Checklist:
Bray Wyatt Cameron Cesaro Eve Hulk Hogan Kane Kevin Nash Layla Lex Luger "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart Naomi Nikki Bella Roman Reigns Ron Simmons Summer Rae Trish Stratus
I have seen 3 cases opened and the end result was 5 Autos and a pile of relics. Upside one Auto was a Hogan and one was Luger. Didn't see any of the rare relics (Cena Shoe, Taker Hat/Coat, or Trish Pants) but there was a nice split between relics and mat cards.

Blue bold wrestlers would be my most wanted. The list is actually pretty good and from what I've seen the autos look nice. I really like the auto ring mats and the Trish relics.
