I attended the Squared Circle Live indy event in Toronto.. The show was supposed to start at 5:30, but they were running a little late. Despite past issues with claiming free tickets, I was able to get mine easily. This time, my dad and I were able to go in together as opposed to my dad just waiting outside. This was good because he could take pictures for me. Once everyone was in, the show started. No wrestlers were signing autographs before the show so we had to wait for intermission. I'll be honest.. I was a little bored during the show. Intermission came and the wrestlers started signing autographs in the little room beside the main room. That room was PACKED. Imagine going on the TTC subway during rush hour. It was like that.. being packed like sardines. To make things worse, the wrestlers I wanted to met were all in the back corner, so I had to push my way through. The first wrestler I met was Chris Sabin. Chris was really nice, despite all the people there, he asked how you were and would sign anything and take pictures for free. I got three autographs from Sabin: As I met Sabin, I had the printout of my picture with SoCal Val from the Summer in my hand. After Sabin, I went to SoCal Val and she said "I saw that picture in your hand!" She extended out her hand for a handshake and said "its very nice to see you again!" She signed my picture for free and took another one with me. After that, she again extended out her hand for a handshake and said "its nice to meet you again!" After SoCal, I went over to Robbie. I asked him to sign my program and he said "sure, but it's $5." I said sure, and he signed it. I then asked for a picture with him and again he said "sure, but for $5." lol.. He seemed nice, but it also seemed like he only cared about the money. I guess he's still bitter about not winning the million on the Amazing Race lol After Robbie, I went to Angelina Love. She was asking $10 for autographs, which I paid. She signed in one of my PWI magazines that's already signed by Taylor Wilde. After she signed, we posed for a picture. And lastly, after Angelina, I went and met Jimmy Jacobs. Lots of people were meeting him. I don't really know who he is, but he's also in a PWI magazine so I had him sign it, which he did for free. I then asked for a picture with him, which he asked $5 for. We took the picture and after, he wanted to make sure that the picture turned out good. I then paid him, and we were off. The reason I was willing to do the $5 photo-op was because he seems to really be popular in the indy scene, so I figured I'd get a picture with him just in case he happens to be signed by WWE one day.. I also wanted to meet Amazing Red and Crimson, but they didn't sign during intermission. I was happy with what I got so we went home. All in all, I spent $25 for 7 autographs and 5 pictures, which is great.

Great experience! Were they selling their shirts, too?

I bought/won two cards since my last post so here they are! ***Mickie James 2013 TNA Glory Red /50 Autograph Card for $11.99 shipped:I am surprised no one bought this card since it was available for a couple days. Being a /50 auto card I think the price was pretty good. I missed winning a /50 Gail Kim card and the card ended up selling for basically this same price. Gail and Mickie are my # 3 and #4 all time favorite women of wrestling so I am happy to pay this much for an on card auto of Mickie's. This is likely going to be her final TNA autograph card too so there is that. ***2011 Dolph Ziggler Masters of the Mat Relic for $4.12 shipped:It sure took me long enough to get this Ziggler relic! I have been trying to get it forever. There are a couple for $5-7 on the market and I probably could have haggled my way down to this price (since one is a 'or best offer') but I never have gotten around to it. When I saw this as an auction I decided to get it. I beat this dude easily but lost the similar Del Rio card I needed.. So whatever Ziggler > Del Rio imo for sure!

Idk how much you paid per blaster box but I hope you are satisfied. I got four packages today in the mail so I'm glad for the most part although one of the sellers forgot to send me one of the cards I won from him (I won 3 of his auctions) so he better right that wrong or the sh*t is going to hit the fan!.. ----------------------------EDIT:I forgot to add that I won these two cards today: ***2014 Topps Chrome WWE Alicia Fox Commemorative Divas Championship Plate Relic for $9.82 shipped:I meant to win this card last time it was listed but missed out.. Because of that I had competition this time (last time I would have won unchallenged at $8.82) but it wasn't that much more so whatever.. I am just happy I won to add this card to my Alicia Fox collection. ***Natalya WWE Topps 2014 Road to Wrestlemania Authentic Shirt Relic for $3.57 shipped:I wanted to get a multi-color relic of this card but I couldn't pass this one up when I saw no one was trying to win it. I remember that Nattie's other relic from a 2012 set iirc is still selling for like $10 shipped for a plain black relic patch so I guess if the same thing happens to this one then paying less than $4 now won't be that bad. Plus is gives me another card to add to her page in my binder.

Thanks. That was a great price for that many blaster boxes. It probably was better to get 15 blasters vs 1 hobby box like you said. The only thing is I would like a chance to get a KO Kiss card. I should note that all of my Cody Rhodes auto/relic cards came in the mail today! I am so happy since it made my Cody collection look so much nicer. The front page alone got a massive 6 card redesign lol. I also got my gold /199 auto card of Jessie Godderz so that was good.

Tristar is usually really good about making up for missing hits. i bought 5 boxes about 6 months back, 1 was box of LIVE was missing a dual auto, within 3 weeks of sending an email i got a package from them with a Storm/Roode dual auto #17/25

^ Good luck getting a good card in the mail from them.
Today I got two packages.
A 2006 Trish Refractor card that oddly came after the same seller's other two cards (Idk why he mailed it separately) that I was almost worried was going to make me have an issue with the seller. Thankfully it was just a delay at the USPS..
The other package was my three Del Rio shirt relics. Two plain black shirt relics from the most recent set and a 3 color shirt relic from the 2014 Chrome set.

I got my /50 Mickie James autograph card today in the mail as well as my 2011 mat relic of Dolph Ziggler. And it would not be one of my recent posts if I didn't post what I won recently... ***2012 Topps WWE Shirt Relic for $4.34 shipped:I wish it was multi-colored (and sadly I remember seeing some listed that sold for cheap but at the time I didn't have much money to buy it ). Oh well I guess. If I see this relic with a better patch I'll try to win it again. EDIT:I just looked on eBay and I saw this card that I have been wanting so I scooped it up since it was a BIN! ***2014 Topps Cesaro Road to Wrestlemania Jumbo Mat Relic for $3.99 shipped:$3.99 is a steal for this card because I've seen them sell at auction for more than $5 and the last decent priced one I was thinking about buying was for $4.80 (on sale from $6) and it sold a couple days ago. I gotta go see if I can find anymore deals.

I have held off posting again because I didn't want to triple post but I have to now because apparently people are dead and I don't want to delete the listings of cards I got because then I would not be able to show everyone the pictures of the cards I got recently on eBay. So here are the many things I have won on eBay since my last post... ***2010 Layla Elimination Chamber mat relic for $5 shipped:I have been trying to get this card forever now but I have never seen one for less than $5 shipped so when I saw this I figured I'd go for it. I love Layla's attire here and now I have the full Lay-Cool set since I've had McCool's EC mat relic for a long time now. I like this mat relic series and still need to get many people I like such as Kofi, Maryse (who is pretty rare and pricey), Miz, and Jericho since I already have McCool like I stated, Morrison, and McIntyre. ***Tamina Snuka 2014 RTWM shirt relic for $3.75 shipped:I wasn't even going to get this one but I saw it for cheap so I scooped it up. Of course I prefer multi-color shirt relics but all the ones of Tamina I've seen have been like $10 shipped so yeah.. ***2014 TOPPS WWE KAITLYN Divas Title relic card for $8.95 shipped:
I really don't even care for Kaitlyn and I think her she was stupid to leave last year but I saw this for cheap and decided to take a swing at it. These types of cards are pretty rare to find at auction so I was glad to get it since I love these style of cards and generally it doesn't matter who the champion is.. From the initially set I need Layla, Nikki, and AJ (good luck to anyone trying to get that card for cheap..) because I have Brie and now Kaitlyn on the way. I also need to get Natalya and I could also get the Chrome AJ and Nikki if I find it before the non Chrome card since I have Alicia and I don't feel the need to get two Nikki/Brie/AJ's considering they are basically the same card. -----------------------------------------------The next four cards came from the same seller who charged $2.50 for any amount of cards thank God. I am adding $0.63 to each winning price to show the real price for each card I paid. ***2014 Dean Ambrose Chrome WWE Refractor for $4.46 shipped:I got a little carried away buying this card. I really wanted the Rollins card and this gold Layla refractor but these two sellers kept bumping the price up so I did the same to them a couple times lol.. So yeah this was my little accident but whatever I do like Ambrose. ***2014 Brie Bella Chrome WWE Refractor for $1.67 shipped:This purchase was just because I figured I would try and get another cheap refractor since I was already paying the $2.50 shipping. ***2014 Vickie Guerrero Chrome WWE Gold Refractor 29/50 for $5.47 shipped:This was one of the only gold refractors I won from this seller due to the heavy competition.. I love Vickie so I was happy to win this but I really wanted the Layla card and I have no idea why the same seller was being greedy and won both.. ***2014 Alicia Fox Chrome On Card Autographed Refractor 36/50 for $11.04 shipped:This was the card I mainly wanted to win from the seller so I was very happy I got it. I could have sworn those other sellers were going to make a play for it but they stayed bidding on the standard Chrome autograph of this Alicia Fox card. That listing sold for $9 shipped or so so I was happy I won this one since it is rarer, I felt the autograph looked nicer, and I like the refractor look more. ***WWE 2010 Topps Platinum Blue Alicia Fox Rookie Autograph Card 15/99 for $17.50 shipped:I was really happy to win this rookie autograph card of one of my favorite current divas Alicia Fox. Like I've said in the past, this set is one of my favorites since it brought me back into collecting cards. It is a pretty rare set too so I am glad the seller accepted my offer since it was originally a BINOBO for $25 shipped and then they re-listed it for $22.50 (or best offer) shipped and I made my move. --------------------------------I should note that I got three packages in the mail today. One was my 2012 Heritage rookie auto card of Naomi, one was my Chrome 2014 Divas Title relic of Alicia Fox, and one was a guaranteed 2014 Road to WM 1/1 printing plate hot rack pack. I bought that hot rack pack for $19.99 shipped out of the blue because I figured I would gamble.. I should not have though since I got a magenta 'Curtis Axel wins the IC Title at Payback' printing plate. I was hoping it would be of someone I already had a collection of like say Ziggler, Rhodes, Kofi, Miz, McIntyre, Barrett, Cesaro, nearly any diva or hey even a main eventer (I do like people like Orton/Bryan/Punk/Reigns/Rollins etc but there cards are pricey so I don't have many of them) but nope it was Axel.. I should have not been so impulsive but oh well you can't get lucky all the time.

King Silva you've been cleaning house with all these eBay gets! Nice stuff! I need to start checking eBay more frequently. Thanks. I need to slow it down although I'm sorta addicted lol. EDIT:I guess I forgot to post that I won this card since I don't see the picture of it anywhere and it came in the mail today (I sorta forgot lol).. ***2014 WWE Chrome Cody Rhodes Intercontinental Championship Relic for $11 shipped:I have been wanting this card since I found out it was made. I would have bought this one for $9.99 shipped but waited too long and someone bought it. The second time I could have got it was when I sent an offer to this dude and he was SUPER rude about me not accepting his counter offer. So yeah I will NEVER do business with that dude and I wish I could block seeing any of his cards. Seriously that douche! The third time I missed out on this card was when I was trying to win this same card at auction from the seller who had a TON of awesome Cody/Ted cards but I lost.. I posted about that in more depth on the previous page. It is all good though because this was a couple dollars cheaper lol. So I guess the fourth time was the charm this time. It looks great on my first page of my Cody Rhodes collection.

some of my better wins over the last few weeks Velvet Sky #5/5 Devon #6/50 Taryn Terrell #18/99 Eric Young #1/10 Sarita/Rosita #40/99 Winter #99/99 Nice stuff especially the Taryn card. I have not won anything in the last day or so but I just received two packages today and inside one was my 2010 John Morrison auto and 2008 WWE Rivals Matt Hardy auto. The other package had all of my recent refractor wins like Ambrose and Nikki as well as a gold Vickie and my /50 Alicia Fox on card autographed refractor! EDIT:I forgot to at least show you all what the Magenta Curtis Axel printing plate card I got looked in normal form (since I sadly can't take pictures atm).. Here it is in standard form:

Another post another set of cards I won/bought. ***2010 Topps Platinum Alicia Fox X-Fractors for $3.50 shipped:I saved $0.13 by offering $1.11 to make it $3.50 shipped since I like to end on good numbers. I am glad to add this to my collection since I like this style of cards and I already have a lot of the people I collect cards of in this style. ***2011 Topps WWE Evan Bourne Autograph for $6.75:
I think this is the last standard Evan Bourne auto card I still need so I was really happy to win this card. ***2014 Chrome Natalya Commemorative Divas Title Relic for $10.25 shipped:
Some bitches tried to step to me but I still won.. So yeah I added this to my Divas Title relic collection. I still need Layla, Nikki, and AJ because I already have Brie, Alicia, Kaitlyn (which came in the mail yesterday btw), and now Natalya. ***2011 WWE Wade Barrett Autograph for $16 shipped:It isn't the best looking autograph but this card is pretty damn rare so I can't be picky lol. I didn't want to miss out on this card again so I sent an offer. I really didn't expect to get it for my first offer price of $14.01 (it was originally listed at $25 + shipping) but the seller I guess wanted to get some money fast. I'm really happy so maybe I should low ball more often?
