So, I figured with the board awards coming up, I might as well show off my collection and hope for a few votes for Collection/Collector of the year or something. Dresser is 3 Basic Rings, my MOC Defining Moments, my 6 Customs and my Cara Collection. First Bookcase has Elites on the first 2 shelves - I collect the ones I like, so I am waiting for E4 Morrison, RAW Roster on the third, Smackdown! Roster on the fourth and any superstar who had a current look but has been fired or has retired. Second Bookcase has Basic Legends as well as some classic looks of current superstars (ie Orton, Kane, Cena etc.) as well as my MOC Entrance Greats on the first 2 shelves. Third shelf is my Legends 1-4 Collection. Fourth is Flashbacks plus Kane and Undertaker who I didn't want to part with. Last shelf is Legends 5-6, 2Packs and Matty Exclusives. Since Bret is all strictly Bret Parts and not really a fixup, rather just a part swap, I added him in as the 5th person in Legends 5. ENJOY!!!! I have these sets of Barricades for sale. RICARDO IS USED FOR COMPARISON AND IS NOT FOR SALE!! Each Set is $30 Shipped in the US. If you buy both, it's only $50 Shipped!!!! Each long piece measures 12.5 inches. Each set has 6 long pieces, 4 corners and 30 clips. |

I don't mean to pry into your personal business but how do you afford to have such an awesome collection? I think you have a really wonderful collection. I just sometimes wonder what type of careers fellow collectors have.

I don't mean to pry into your personal business but how do you afford to have such an awesome collection? I think you have a really wonderful collection. I just sometimes wonder what type of careers fellow collectors have. Well, this thing has been growing since Mattel took over in 2010. I actually inherited a huge Jakks Collection about 5 years ago and tried to keep that going. Once Mattel took over, I sold my entire Jakks Collection and used all of that money to support my Mattel buys. The money I made on the Jakks Collection kept me going until about the summer of 2011, but I had been working all summer and I had been saving up since Mattel first took over. Currently, I go to college full-time (My last year) but I also work while doing it. I have a pretty good business perspective of these things and, in a nut shell, I know how to buy/resell things, WWE and other collectibles, to make my collection cost as little as possible for me. Plus now I have to save up for my Wedding in July, but luckily my fiancee and I inherited her grandparents small house, which is paid off, so it is a huge stress reliever knowing we won't have to pay a mortgage. No problem asking, I always like sharing my stories with others |

Cool. I have an entry level office job, working for a regional freight company. I am not a very motivated or ambitious in selling. I just don't trust people easily. I haven't figure out how to sell stuff on ebay. I trade my elite scale ring recently for E16 Punk, B18 Punk, E17 Mankind, and a Basic Raw Superstar Ring. I am really glad to have those figures, because finding the good stuff in the retail where I am at is challenging, it just seems like endless encounter of peg warmers full of disappointment. I started a bulk of my collection with tax return money. I had a few Hasbro's from back in the day. And my Jakks Hollywood Blonds, but I didn't really get back into collecting until December 2011, when I picked up a E11 CM Punk at Walmart. Punk was like the big deal at the time stemming from The Summer of Punk, and I was like it'd be cool to have his figure. Then I saw that Mattel had Macho Man and Macho King figures that were nearly identical to my Hasbro's and I was like okay, I'm collecting again.

Wow, now that's a collection. I really dig the set up, I'm hoping to do something along those lines with my collection sometime soon.
