Met The Iron Sheik at an indy show west of Toronto today. I arrived just past 6:30. This was the same place where I met Steve Corino back in January. When me and my dad walked in, the door lady who handled tickets remembered us. She said "oh, it's the same people here for the autographs! Give me a second!" she then walked across the room and talked to someone. She came back and said "since you paid for a VIP ticket the last time, I'll let you in for free to meet Sheik, but just so you know, he is charging for autographs." I thought this was great because this saved me $20! We thanked her and got in line to meet Sheik. When I got up to Sheik, they let me sit down in a chair beside him and handed me a belt with "SHEIK" written on it to use for the picture. Sheik signed my figure with a blue paint marker. After he signed it, he stared at me straight in the eyes awkwardly for like 5 seconds... then asked me "where are you from?" to which I responded "Toronto". The handler to the left of Sheik asked if I wanted my name on it, and I said sure and told him my name. The handler had to spell out my name to Sheik. After, I had him sign my encyclopedia, and then pose for a picture. After, we shook hands and we were off. The people running these Deathproof shows are definitely very nice and helpful. The lady remembered us and let us go in for free. Also, I had a bookmark in my encyclopedia, and when I took that out, someone to the right of me offered to hold it for me while I meet Sheik. Then there's the handler who asked if I wanted my name on my figure. Lastly, there was the guy letting fans hold the belt for pictures. Definitely happy with what I got. Spent $50 for the two autographs and photo! Pictures of my autographs can be found here: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/316606/iron-sheik-signed-legends-figureThanks guys!

You were probably lucky with the Bryan card you got for cheaper even if the RTWM set was pretty crappy. There is no denying that Bryan is one of the top stars so his cards are generally going to sell for more than other people's cards. I guess two or more big Bryan fans are duking it out for that card whereas if this auction was ending another week or so it may have not been such a battle?

i think someone just paid $12 for a regular 7 card pack of WWE 2015
this was the title of the listing: 2015 TOPPS WWE PACK Autograph ? GOLD? KISS CARD ?
this was the description: 2015 TOPPS WWE NEW PACK Autograph ? GOLD?STING? KISS CARD ? AJ LEE PAIGE ?
doesn't sound like a hot pack to me

KISS CARD ? this was the description: 2015 TOPPS WWE NEW PACK Autograph ? GOLD?STING? KISS CARD ? AJ LEE PAIGE ? doesn't sound like a hot pack to me People are stupid. Unless it states hot pack in the title and description I would stay away because when they open it up and it is a DUD they likely won't get their money back.. The seller wasn't even that shady just lucky they got a sucker. Anyways I won these two cards in the last couple of hours. ***2012 Heritage The Miz WM 27 Mat Relic for $2.98 shipped: ***WWE 2012 Kofi Kingston shirt relic for $2.98 shipped:Both of these cards were won from the same seller and are cards I needed from my growing collection of both The Miz and Kofi Kingston. While they are not my top people I collect I still will buy their notable cards when I see them for cheaper. Sadly I thought the seller would combine shipping but I guess he doesn't. I was going to give him a bad rating in that regard but he only charges $0.99 so $1.98 for two cards really isn't that bad when you break it down..
