Anyone have any feedback on the commemorative title belts? I'm looking to get an intercontinental belt to display in my man cave but I wasn't sure how nice these are. I know the replica ones are surely nicer but I just can't see the value in spending over $400 on a belt that is just for display purposes.
Any insight would be appreciated!

If it's for display purposes, that's the way to go. Some of the commemorative belts actually have deeper stamping than the replicas and are more pleasing to the eye.

I haven't seen side by side comparisons so that's good to know. I'm leaning towards commemorative since it'll be mostly just for display.

Yea, for whatever reason it's deeper on some of the commemoratives. The oval IC for example. The replica sucks. The commemorative is actually a little deeper and to the naked eye, the plates look nicer. Put it in a glass case or something and tell your non belt-mark friends it's the real deal, they'd probably fall for it.

Yeah I have the spinner commemorative belt and it looks just like a replica. Can't go wrong with a commemorative if you don't want to shell out the money for a replica.

Wow your collection looks awesome. Thank you guys for sharing all those pictures. I've been reading about the commemorative belts this afternoon and people keep mentioning they paid around $100-120 for them. Everywhere I see them advertised charges AT LEAST $160. Am I looking in the wrong places?

Also, that winged eagle belt is AMAZING! Too bad wwe's shop doesn't have those in stock anymore.

Am I looking in the wrong places? When they first came out with commemorative versions, they were $99 (except the spinner, which was a bit more). Over the years, they price has gone up, so now they are $150-200.

I'd wait a month or so for the logo change (unless you dislike the Network logo or prefer the Scratch logo).

When they first came out, I was able to get the Spinner, Big Gold, and Big Platinum for $100 each, because I made a deal with this online store and bought all 3 at the same time. I was able to get the Intercontinental and Million Dollar for $70 each, because a certain site put them on sale for 53% off due to some clearance sale and lawsuit that was ongoing at the time. I got the United States and Divas at regular price for $150 each. I got the Big W as soon as it was available for $200. 8 Commemorative Belts down, 2 (3, cause you can't just buy 1 Tag Team Belt) to go.

Value for money when it comes to the Commemoratives although some may disagree. Looks great on display and you can't tell them apart with the metal ones. Thicker plates as well and deeper etching. Only downside is that being plastic, they don't have the weight and feel of the metal replicas. The Commemorative US and IC title in my possession.... Beautiful!

Hmmm I forgot about the logo change. I have an opportunity to get a few items signed by Ricky Steamboat in September so I might just grab the current belt rather than wait and possibly miss getting his signature on my belt.

With the logo change, the replica/comm belts with the scratch WWE logo would probably go up in value....

What's the best site to pick up the commemorative belts? I think the official wwe shop. Other sites seem to charge more. Especially the bay.

Just buy them directly from WWE, but wait for a 20% discount on Belts. I made the mistake of not waiting on 2 separate occasions already.
