Been wondering where the guy went, haven’t seen any of his posts in years. The man used to have one of the largest collection I have ever seen. Would love to see how much his collection have grown.

Stom had sold the most of his collection. I believe he only keeps his MOC collection. Sadly I lost his e-mail address in 2016. |

Yeah. Many of his one of a kind protos have found their way into other peoples collections. I never saw it coming. He’d previously told me how he never planned on selling.

I used to speak to him regularly and sold him several pieces including some ljn customs i made for him. Shame he doesnt post an update anymore. Good man and definitely a family’s man first and foremost. An amazing collection at one time.

Like many have said I believe he sold most of his collection. It had to be pretty expensive for him to even collect and ship to him. Does anyone have his collection pics still? It’s been a while since I’ve seen it

I was able to pick up a few rares during his sale.
Bundy thumb tag MOC
Harts LjN tag MOC
Individually boxed galoob sound box.
Spanish hasbro ring that had 2 MOC figures attached to the front of it in plastic.
UK galoob ring sealed.
FWIW I didn’t find him particularly pleasant to deal with.

If he was selling that much serious stuff -- maybe he had some personal stuff going on.
I'm newer to the boards, but think it's really cool you guys all remember someone after all these years!

Talking about the “Michael Jordan” of wrestling figures collecting, that used to be stom before Zack Ryder became well know for collection. He had a ton of rare stuff back in the day. Sadly no matter how hard I tried on google, his collection pics is nowhere to be found. |

Easily could be the case, I couldnt imagine selling such an incredible collection. |

I suspect he's now richer than someone who invested a hundred dollars in Bitcoin and forgot about it for 10 years

He's still out there. I can't speak to how I know, but he's at least still out there!

I still remember the photos from his collection and how it blew my mind. It was unreal to see something like that 20 years ago.

I remember shooting him a message 4-5 years ago about some MOC AAA Kelian's and he told me he sold them. Last I heard of him

Talk about a blast from the past. I used to be in awe of his collection. He had the best setup I have ever seen, it was like a museum. Would be very interesting to hear why he decided to scale back and what his thoughts on the current figures are and the way collecting is now.
