I'm about to start putting mine in the RSC Defender Cases, but I don't have any in them yet. I've seen some other people already starting to put theirs in those cases though, they look good.

Met John Cena at Hooters and I just happened to have one of his Elites on hand. He was extremely accommodating. I'll treasure this forever.

Got autos from Jake and DDP this past weekend here at a convention in Buffalo. Second time meeting Jake ... last time I had planned on getting a Legends fig signed before realizing the night before that it was the one Legends figure I apparently was missing MOC, lol ... got a Hasbro signed instead. This time around I was better prepared. He was in good spirits but unfortunately wasn't interested in a conversation despite a couple of attempts on my end. DDP was great, as you'd expect. Nice guy, personable, friendly. I thanked him for all that he's done to help guys like Jake and Scott and he was very appreciative. He asked if I wanted it personalized, I said sure, and I think it made for a more "detailed" sig because he knew I wasn't scalping, etc. Fine by me! Best part was that the sigs really turned out great. Gotta love those paint markers!

I only recently started to start using different paint marker colors for my sigs, I wish I would have thought about it a lot sooner because until recently, everything I got signed in silver. Most of them look great, but some would have looked even nicer with different colors. I've also met DDP before, and what you said was right, very cool guy and very personable.

Went to the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame this past weekend in Wichita Falls, TX., where Mick Foley was being inducted and I got this signed by him. Funny thing is, I guess Mick wasn't sure if he was allowed to sign outside items or not, or maybe he was just messing around. He started to sign it and said to me, "Hmm, to eBay?" I told him, "Never! Sign it to Luis." So that was cool. Wish the upcoming Elite Mankind was out by now so I could have gotten that signed, too. But he said he might start doing some more shows soon, and I've been to a few here in Texas. So if he does that, I'll surely get another opportunity to get the new Mankind signed, too.

I don't have any MOC autographs. But I do have the autographs of everyone on the 1998 WWF roster. The WWF came to town for a house show and my dad and I were going.
Well, my mom was friends with the person who ran the arena the show was at and asked if I could get some autographs. Well, the official line was they didn't just do autographs like that. They only did that for sick kids.
So the person in charge of the arena told them I was sick and couldn't make it to the show that night. So I guess they passed around some arena letterhead to the wrestlers.
Everyone who was there that night signed it. LOD, Rock, Mankind, Stone Cold, DX, Vader, Undertaker, I think maybe Edge. It was pretty awesome. Must've been like 30 signatures.
I didn't get to meet anyone, but just having that was pretty cool. The show was a blast and the first time I saw wrestling live. I think the main event was a fatal fourway with Kane vs Mankind vs Taker vs Austin. There was also Rock vs HHH in which a druken brawl broke out in the stands. Rock sees it, gets on the mic, and starts ripping into the crowd for watching the drunks instead of him. It was amazing, he got the attention back and got massive heat for calling everyone rednecks and trailer trash.

Got some more autos from Sting, Tito Santana and Mean Gene this past weekend in Niagara Falls. TheChamp617 goes into more detail in his thread so I'll just touch on the high points (it was great to meet the owner of the board's best collection). Originally the convention was supposed to have Hall, Nash and Waltman too, and all ended up getting canceled over the course of the week leading up to it, lol. So that was a bummer, three of my favorites. I've met Sting before (and got the 2 DMs and his black/red elite signed) so I wasn't dying to get him again but, hey, why not. He was super quiet and didn't really say anything. (Quick funny sidenote: I only decided to get more Sting autos once the other guys canceled, and it was too late to order a HOF fig online by then ... I was pissed because I love that figure, have it loose. Then the next day while shopping at a Target for totally unrelated stuff, found the last one sitting on the pegs. Fate!) Tito was great. Had a nice chat, mentioned how much I like the older product compared to now (lately I stick to modern NJPW and old school WWF) and he agreed, said the psychology was different back then. Mean Gene was great as well. Didn't have a figure of his (not a Jakks guy) but the 8 x 10 is great (now I wonder if I should get more 8 x 10's when I'm at these signings, lol ... great, more money I don't have). Next up for me is Dibiase, Typhoon and Slaughter in Syracuse later this month.
