Finally after months of nothing but assorted Jakks junk I found a dude parting ways with Wrestling collecting.  He had done his research, but just wanted rid of them. Walked away with both for $40. Retail as far as im concerned for two cool figures I missed out on. Keeping Taker boxed, but Shawn will get opened as I like the ring gear better. He also had Classic Superstars, and some BCAs all boxed or carded. Some shirts and two more basics. I think WM heritage Austin and Taker from one of the first lines |

Nice finds. That ad is just depressing:
"Parting ways with this hobby all together. In fact with wrestling period, this is a 20 year collection and cannot support the CRAP any longer. My loss is your gain will sell as a lot or by piece."

Some cool BCAs and assorted stuff, but I have to stay focused with Mattel. |

Those are pretty good gets, it has also dawned on me that they are 5 years old now.
That guy'll be back, the wrestling bug never goes away.

Nice gets! Especially that HBK. That's one of the only Mattel HBK's I feel is complete since it has the full entrance gear and knee pads. If only it was an elite....

The add isn't "Depressing", as you put it, but it's pretty clear that he's done with the hobby lol

I've had friends that would lose interest in whatever hobby it was that they were into and trash it like they couldn't believe they were a part of it. I would've hated to have heard that myself, because he's going to look back one of these days and regret it. Nice pickups though, brother ! |
