Speaker 1: One, Ladies and gentlemen, we are back with another episode
Speaker 1: new World podcast. I got my boy baby Face Breaks
Speaker 1: aka Nick on the podcast today. As you can see,
Speaker 1: we also have a special guest. My daughter is joining
Speaker 1: us for her first podcast episode because if I put
Speaker 1: her down, she's gonna cry. But it's a great day.
Speaker 1: She turns two months tomorrow and we're just gonna hit
Speaker 1: him over ahead with a new podcast episode. So gee,
Speaker 1: if you have any questions, just raise your hand then
Speaker 1: we'll ask Nick. So, Nick, my brother, thank you for
Speaker 1: your time, thank you for your patience, thank you for
Speaker 1: being on our episode. This episode pretty much worked out
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. You know, I wrote you, you wrote me back,
Speaker 1: and here we are. And that's what I love about
Speaker 1: these podcasts where people are ready and you know, technically
Speaker 1: you kind of put this out because you know, Nick said, Yo,
Speaker 1: we need to collab. I saw the post. I was like, bet,
Speaker 1: let's collab. Let's do something. So here we are. Just
Speaker 1: tell us a little about yourself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm Nick.
Speaker 3: I run baby Face Breaks on Instagram, whatnot fanatics.
Speaker 2: Long story short, I'm.
Speaker 3: A card collector basically all things wrestling, only wrestling cards.
Speaker 3: I do breaks on a fanatics live with a team
Speaker 3: called All Sports Breaks, and I'm just all in on
Speaker 3: wrestling cards.
Speaker 1: So, okay, was it always this way? Was it always
Speaker 1: wrestling cards or.
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 3: As a collector, I collected here and there just wrestling
Speaker 3: like memorabilia and stuff like that. But now, since I
Speaker 3: want to say January, it's just been I on the
Speaker 3: prize wrestling cards only, and that's the focus right.
Speaker 1: Now, gotcha? Because I feel like there's since maybe I
Speaker 1: would say, probably around like the pandemic, you know, when
Speaker 1: we were all unemployed. I feel like, you know, Pokemon
Speaker 1: cards especially, I remember you your cards started to kind
Speaker 1: of like make a little run coming back. But I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened with Yo cards. But definitely I've
Speaker 1: noticed wrestling cards have taken over me. In particular. I
Speaker 1: don't have any wrestling cards I do collect, but I
Speaker 1: collect sports cards, but I definitely would like to start
Speaker 1: collecting wrestling cards. The thing I love about wrestling cards
Speaker 1: is I feel like every card is different, like specifically,
Speaker 1: like for instance, like Kevin Owens, I know you would
Speaker 1: know the way he signs his cards. He always puts
Speaker 1: something different on the car, like nobody gets the same thing.
Speaker 1: Twice yep. So like what got you into going from
Speaker 1: the wrestling memorabilia into the cars? Like what was the shift?
Speaker 3: The shift was an easy one. So January they announced
Speaker 3: that Tops is gonna have the license for wrestling. Personally,
Speaker 3: I didn't like the Panini product just the way it
Speaker 3: looked him. It was like a little cheesy to me.
Speaker 3: They started promoting the Tops chrow and the cards are
Speaker 3: just absolutely gorgeous. They're beautiful cards. And them buying a license,
Speaker 3: I was like, this is the biggest opportunity. Tops is
Speaker 3: gonna be king. They're gonna pump out wrestling product that's
Speaker 3: gonna be the best it's ever been.
Speaker 2: So this is the time to get in. So that
Speaker 2: was really the shift there.
Speaker 3: Once they bought the license and they're exclusive for Tops.
Speaker 1: So is it it's it's what's Panini? I feel like
Speaker 1: there's another company that does cards as well.
Speaker 3: Tops and Paninio, like one and two. There's other ones
Speaker 3: that are like here and there, like Flear you'll see
Speaker 3: older Saints. Yes, right now it's Tops and Panini, But
Speaker 3: as of now, who is making product?
Speaker 2: It's only Tops?
Speaker 1: Gotcha and as a as a card collector, because again
Speaker 1: we know how this goes the reselling, the camping out.
Speaker 1: I've seen videos online of people at Costco. They don't
Speaker 1: know how to act with the Pokemon cards. Same thing
Speaker 1: with game Stop. I remember that. I went to my
Speaker 1: local game Stop and they were like, we're not going
Speaker 1: to open the door until ten o'clock and then everything
Speaker 1: is one per person. Is that? Is it the same
Speaker 1: way with the wrestling cards like that, Like with the.
Speaker 3: Well, there's not enough product right now, to be honest
Speaker 3: to you. The last time they came out with actual,
Speaker 3: like physical product was in January, right after the remble.
Speaker 3: So okay, there hasn't been physical product on the shelves
Speaker 3: since like I want to say, March, So it hasn't
Speaker 3: been a thing for a while. And when it first
Speaker 3: came out, it wasn't super sodd after it's wrestling, it's
Speaker 3: not Pokemon, it's you know, it's it's a little bit
Speaker 3: compared to all this other stuff. Yeah, no fights, no
Speaker 3: big lines, just collected is trying to enjoy it.
Speaker 1: So my my boy, his his dad, I mentioned him
Speaker 1: in the last podcast. His dad got me into like
Speaker 1: baseball collecting, Like shout out to him. His name is
Speaker 1: Will and then his dad og so whenever his dad
Speaker 1: would find out about like a fire ass baseball player
Speaker 1: coming up in the ranks, like he would give me
Speaker 1: the card or whatever. But you know, this guy has
Speaker 1: plenty of cards, plenty of cards. Do you remember what
Speaker 1: was like the first car like wrestling card? You collected.
Speaker 3: Everything sino, So you know, it was always like if
Speaker 3: I saw john Cena wherever it was, I would have
Speaker 3: to pick something up. If I saw I was in
Speaker 3: the where I saw a pack with Johnson on it,
Speaker 3: I'd buy one and I would only keep Johnson. It's
Speaker 3: like he's like my number one guy. But as for
Speaker 3: like a specific one, I don't think so. No, There's
Speaker 3: there's stuff everywhere here, you know what I mean, from
Speaker 3: the nineties.
Speaker 2: There might be something from the nineties, like that old
Speaker 2: school setting.
Speaker 1: So is there is there a specific like seeing a
Speaker 1: card that's like your your favorite, like you would you
Speaker 1: would trade your soul for it?
Speaker 3: All right, I have it. I have the one I
Speaker 3: really wanted besides like the one ones, so like one
Speaker 3: I was really really looking up.
Speaker 2: I got that one, which I'll show you later.
Speaker 3: As for like one that I'm dying to good and
Speaker 3: my scene of collection is pretty up there were like
Speaker 3: the best to be honest with you, So if there's
Speaker 3: new stuff that's coming out, that's the stuff I really want.
Speaker 3: I did brad Ways with a nice like Travis Scott, Catrish,
Speaker 3: Jack Johnson to Auto to ten nice, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: but the one I really want I have.
Speaker 1: So And how do you feel about Because I'm a
Speaker 1: big Travis Scott fan. There's a lot of Travis Scott
Speaker 1: gets a lot of slander in the in the community
Speaker 1: of you know, everything he does. I think Travis Scott
Speaker 1: is a genius. He's a marketing genius. He knows how
Speaker 1: to market himself very well. It started with Fortnite, It
Speaker 1: went to McDonald's, he has an Oakly deal. Most recently
Speaker 1: he did WW Me personally, as a wrestling fan, I
Speaker 1: feel like he left a sour taste in our mouth
Speaker 1: because he kind of ruined John Cena's heel turned It
Speaker 1: never happened like Johnson had ever turned heel, And I
Speaker 1: feel like, honestly, I just I feel like he capitalized
Speaker 1: on the the the union that they had, and he
Speaker 1: just wanted to drop some w W merch and he
Speaker 1: wanted to get out the door. How to the to
Speaker 1: the collectors because we all know that Travis Scott has
Speaker 1: his own collab with Tops. The cards look pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I've never been able to light in the pack. I
Speaker 1: know they're like, what three hundred and fifty for how
Speaker 1: many come in to pack? Exactly like an a set.
Speaker 3: Only eight coming in like a pack, and the pack's
Speaker 3: going for like nine hundred right now, only eight cards
Speaker 3: total coming.
Speaker 2: It's basically one hundred dollars a card.
Speaker 1: So that's that's that's yeah, that's nuts because then you
Speaker 1: get like you get the l WO members that nobody knows.
Speaker 1: First of all, one of the dudes from the l
Speaker 1: WO is not even Latin, but we're not gonna even
Speaker 1: talk about that. He's Filipino.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: I think it's Joe Kane Wilder, like he's.
Speaker 2: Dead not oh yeah yeah, And.
Speaker 1: I don't know why they got him in the Mexican group.
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of crazy, like he doesn't even expand it,
Speaker 1: like but yeah, you see, that's to me, I feel
Speaker 1: like one hundred dollars a card is a little outlandish.
Speaker 1: One thing I noticed when I started collecting, I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna buy these packs and hopefully we
Speaker 1: hit on some autos or something, and I just feel
Speaker 1: like it's way better to just get cards of the
Speaker 1: people that you like, like just one car, like fuck
Speaker 1: it if it's one hundred fifty dollars, that one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty, it's a good reason, you know, like you know,
Speaker 1: you could probably flip it eventually, or like like, for instance,
Speaker 1: I've seen when shoe Hao Tani first came to the MLB, right,
Speaker 1: his cards was flying off the shelves, flying off the shelves.
Speaker 1: Then he got hurt, and then anybody the value of
Speaker 1: his card went to dust. And now he, you know,
Speaker 1: is picking back up. He's doing spectacular things. Is there
Speaker 1: any wrestling card, in your opinion, that you've seen that
Speaker 1: has gone from high value to low value?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't really work like sports as you would think,
Speaker 3: like a certain goats, like we'll say, like a women's goat,
Speaker 3: like Charlotte.
Speaker 2: Her market's horrible.
Speaker 3: She's a fourteen time women's World champion, and there are
Speaker 3: women that probably haven't wrestled five matches that are way
Speaker 3: more expensive than there.
Speaker 2: It is a little weird. It is for people dipping.
Speaker 3: A lot of people like the older people that Roban
Speaker 3: Reigns doesn't have a good market. Seth Rollins doesn't have
Speaker 3: a good market. It's pretty it's weird. Wrestling is very weird.
Speaker 3: They are really focused on the women aspect, which as
Speaker 3: wrestling fans you have you know how that goes.
Speaker 1: Of course, and you see like my thing about and
Speaker 1: you would probably be able to answer this better. What
Speaker 1: exactly in the in a card in a in a
Speaker 1: wrestling card makes it that everybody wants it because like
Speaker 1: this is Roman Reigne we're talking about, Like this is
Speaker 1: the tribal chief, the big dog, like everybody. You would
Speaker 1: think everybody be chopping at the bit to get a
Speaker 1: Roman range card.
Speaker 3: Right. The thing is sports, I know, it's not much
Speaker 3: the numbered stuff, the numbered autos everybody wants, not like Pokemon.
Speaker 2: Pokemon is not numbered.
Speaker 3: I know. Sports is like here and there numbered, right.
Speaker 3: They love case hits in sports like kabooms, downtowns, all
Speaker 3: that stuff. It's really just like the person you like,
Speaker 3: and it goes by how many people like this certain
Speaker 3: person and if they think that value is going to
Speaker 3: go up. So, for instance, like Stephanie Valcare right now,
Speaker 3: she's I want to say, number one in the market,
Speaker 3: her her prices aren't way higher than anything else. You
Speaker 3: pull a normal card of her, a base card goes
Speaker 3: for over one hundred dollars of just Stephanie Becker Julia,
Speaker 3: same way. It's real personally, it's really really a wild thing.
Speaker 3: It's not like sports where these guys perform and underperform
Speaker 3: like Seth Rollins, I thought he would have a big
Speaker 3: jump after winning the title.
Speaker 2: Stagnant. Market stagnant.
Speaker 3: So it's a really weird market, and you got to
Speaker 3: find what everybody wants and what they want.
Speaker 2: To buy, gotcha.
Speaker 1: I mean you would think so too, you know, you
Speaker 1: would think that since Seth cashed in the value, if
Speaker 1: you had like a one on one, the value would
Speaker 1: go up. But that's incredible. Now for those listeners who
Speaker 1: aren't into cards and don't understand the lingo that would
Speaker 1: probably be using. I know. There's different types of cards.
Speaker 1: You have the autos, which is an autograph. You have
Speaker 1: the insert which are usually the cards that have like
Speaker 1: a little image on them with the wrestler. What other
Speaker 1: kind of cards are there for the person that doesn't
Speaker 1: collect cards.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a base cards, which is just a normal
Speaker 3: card you'll get out of a pack and up special
Speaker 3: about it. There's case hits, which basically a full case
Speaker 3: would be like twenty eight to forty boxes somewhere around there,
Speaker 3: and only one case hit comes that whole entire case.
Speaker 3: So you got to rip through every single one of
Speaker 3: those boxes just to hit a case hit, and you
Speaker 3: got to hope it's a good case hit. Uh. There's
Speaker 3: patch autos, which they cut like a little patch from
Speaker 3: their memorabilia from the gear and they put it in
Speaker 3: the card. Uh, there's dual autos, there's inserts. Like you said,
Speaker 3: there's a mill for wrestling. There's a million different things.
Speaker 3: There's tag team cards. Now, there's Hall of Fame cards.
Speaker 3: You know, there's a million different cards.
Speaker 1: That's dope. That's yeah. Now have you ever pulled a
Speaker 1: grail before in your in your journey of pulling cards?
Speaker 1: And what was your reaction? Because I feel like I
Speaker 1: could assume you were in your room by yourself, you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like you like to do these things in
Speaker 1: quiet piece maybe record I don't know if you record
Speaker 1: yourself with your open packs just in case you got
Speaker 1: to document the reaction. But what was the grill that
Speaker 1: you pulled?
Speaker 2: It's not with me?
Speaker 3: Now, Well I do breaks too, so like I pulled
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff just breaking for other people. They
Speaker 3: weren't my cards because other people bought them, right, But
Speaker 3: probably one that I pulled, which is the best, would
Speaker 3: be out of five Undertaker auto from Sapphire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: It was first on the print. He has one of
Speaker 3: the nice autos ever. It's just a beautiful auto. Looks
Speaker 3: the same on every single card. It's unbelievable, just a
Speaker 3: red background. I saw it from the get go and
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, let's hit this. So then
Speaker 3: it came out Undertaker out of five and it was
Speaker 3: pretty up there.
Speaker 1: So how much how much you think they're going for now?
Speaker 1: Give or take that card?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I sold it for a little over a thousand. I
Speaker 3: would say it's a twelve hundred right now.
Speaker 1: That's not bad.
Speaker 3: It's not like sports sports is like something like that
Speaker 3: would be fifteen twenty thousand, you know, right.
Speaker 1: So for somebody, let's say you were giving advice to
Speaker 1: somebody that wanted to get into the sports card realm,
Speaker 1: specifically wrestling, would you prefer them go to your your
Speaker 1: regular hobby shop and grab a card or you know,
Speaker 1: do do you do you suggest maybe eBay or I
Speaker 1: know what? Not is a big app for for trading
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Which one do you prefer or do
Speaker 1: you scour all three or even Facebook Marketplace?
Speaker 3: Yeah, all three. It depends on what type of collector
Speaker 3: you're going for. If you're going for stuff or just
Speaker 3: for your PC, you can go in eBay because then
Speaker 3: the biggest marketplace in the world. If you do something
Speaker 3: like me, who is a buyer seller essentially flip I
Speaker 3: buy on collections. That's that's really my thing. You go
Speaker 3: on Facebook Marketplace, you put on it, you know, you
Speaker 3: go a little harder on marketing, but yeah, if you're
Speaker 3: just trying to get stuff for the PC, eBay is
Speaker 3: usually as fair as possible. You could find some things
Speaker 3: on Facebook Marketplace. They have groups on Facebook now and
Speaker 3: whatnot's a huge thing, but it's basically it's dangerous, So
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna advise.
Speaker 2: You to go and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny because I remember the time, like when
Speaker 1: Whatnot first came out. So my my buddy, he used
Speaker 1: to do funkal pops and bro the amount of money,
Speaker 1: it's literally like I feel like you're hustling, like in
Speaker 1: quickness because it's like fifty dollars here, this pop. Funkle
Speaker 1: Pop is seventy five dollars. This Funkle Pop is thirty dollars.
Speaker 1: What's the most if you know, if you've done a
Speaker 1: Whatnot break Live, what's the most you ever sold a
Speaker 1: card on Whatnot?
Speaker 2: Oh? Uh, definitely a couple seven to fifties.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, usually I'll say it on here, I
Speaker 3: don't really in mind, but these guys know that if
Speaker 3: you're making a bigger deal, they'll say, hey, like I'm
Speaker 3: gonna hit you up for that card, and we're gonna
Speaker 3: do it on the side.
Speaker 2: We're gonna do something private.
Speaker 3: You get hit with a lot of fees on Whatnot,
Speaker 3: so okay, just do it right on the side, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean.
Speaker 2: But like, it's a good place to showcase what you got.
Speaker 3: Other cards that are like twenty thirty forty bucks, like
Speaker 3: you like that, no problem, you take the fee on that.
Speaker 3: But bigger cards like that, they usually have a good understanding, like, Hey,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you a call later and we'll work.
Speaker 1: Something out that makes sense. Yeah, you just like I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know what man would not ends up
Speaker 1: being the middle man, and you just cut your middleman out,
Speaker 1: and you know, take take more money from your pocket.
Speaker 1: So again, I know we've we've we've been talking about
Speaker 1: the parallels between sports cards and wrestling cards. Most recently,
Speaker 1: I saw a basketball card. I don't know if it's real.
Speaker 1: It might be real. It looks cool though it's it's Lebron, Jordan,
Speaker 1: and Kobe all on the card with a patch from
Speaker 1: each of their jerseys. Now, if you can design any
Speaker 1: wrestling card, however you would want it, who would be
Speaker 1: on the card and why?
Speaker 3: I thought, I'm got to ask every question. That's probably
Speaker 3: my favorite question ever.
Speaker 2: Wow, damn.
Speaker 3: I mean I could do something personal and then I
Speaker 3: could do something like for like that would just be
Speaker 3: the most epic one ever. My personal ones are just
Speaker 3: all all my PCs, which would be like Sena Fatu,
Speaker 3: Dirty Dim and Roxanne Like that would be my grail.
Speaker 3: Like that's what I would want, but that's that's boring.
Speaker 3: But something that you really want to see, Damn, man,
Speaker 3: it would have to be like something from WrestleMania forty
Speaker 3: and that rope like every like maybe you know how
Speaker 3: Leif does like all those autos, like the four autos
Speaker 3: on the front, four autos.
Speaker 2: Have you ever see those cards like a dual side.
Speaker 2: I'd want, like all.
Speaker 3: Those autos that everybody that was involved in that main event,
Speaker 3: so Undertaker, who else was in there? Undertaker by my
Speaker 3: blanking out Undertaker. Roman Reigns obviously was in there, Cody Rhodes,
Speaker 3: Sina was involved in that, Solo was involved in that.
Speaker 3: Because everybody involved in that WrestleMania event, that.
Speaker 1: Would be an expensive ass card. Yeah, one one call.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it before we got on the
Speaker 1: on the call, and I'm I'm pretty sure there has
Speaker 1: to be one of these somewhere in the world, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at it. I'm gonna look it up
Speaker 1: when we get off the FaceTime, I mean off the podcast.
Speaker 1: But like Owen Hart, Red Hart card, like, I know,
Speaker 1: there has to be something somewhere with them two one
Speaker 1: it auto or not, even if it's their their WrestleMania match.
Speaker 3: So if you look up, I think TOPS did some
Speaker 3: media on it. A dude gifted Cody. I think only
Speaker 3: ten of them ever came out. It was a dual
Speaker 3: auto of Dusty and Cody and he gifted it to him,
Speaker 3: and it's an unbelievable looking card. Man, It's two autos
Speaker 3: of Dusty's on top. Cody's on the that's not really
Speaker 3: really cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, that's absolutely nuts. All right. So we reached
Speaker 1: the part in our segment Augia where we're gonna do
Speaker 1: our top five that are alive. I did my top
Speaker 1: five foods with Vincenzo his top five Italian foods. He
Speaker 1: had a great, great top five. He is acting up.
Speaker 1: She's a little she's a little fussy. It's okay. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna start with your top five cards to your collection.
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with number five. What does it mean
Speaker 1: to you? How'd you get it? And what's its value currently?
Speaker 2: Okay, number five?
Speaker 3: Dude, it's in between one or two. All right, I'll
Speaker 3: go with this one. It's gonna be a one of
Speaker 3: one brock Lessener here. I don't know, you might be
Speaker 3: at an out of it, but yeah, it's a one
Speaker 3: on one brock Lessener.
Speaker 1: I know that's fire.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: So uh. The story about that is that brock Lessner
Speaker 3: is one of my top PCs mm hm, and just
Speaker 3: getting that one of one was I think it was
Speaker 3: my first one of one I've ever gotten, So it's
Speaker 3: something that I probably keep forever. And now that it
Speaker 3: came back I mean the values.
Speaker 2: I can't even enjoin the values on that. Right.
Speaker 3: Now, we'll go number four, which will be the dual
Speaker 3: auto out of ten brock Lesonar and Roman.
Speaker 1: No, that's a tough ass card. What the heck?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's a sick one value. I have no idea.
Speaker 3: Again, like brock Lessener just came back, so it could
Speaker 3: be notnrocketed. But these two duped it out a million
Speaker 3: main events. I mean the aura and both of them.
Speaker 3: Do you can't touch that aura? I mean, I don't
Speaker 3: care who you want, like, you know, those two are
Speaker 3: just different. Yeah, those two are different.
Speaker 1: We have five and four. Let's see number three.
Speaker 3: Number three. I just picked this up and like I said,
Speaker 3: Faw is one of my big PCs. I think he's
Speaker 3: gonna go to the moon. I think he's got that
Speaker 3: aura like like Roman has. And this is a fat
Speaker 3: two p s A ten auto out of ten. That's
Speaker 3: tough now because of the background.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's tough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, especially since then.
Speaker 1: You know, Jacob j have just got into the WW
Speaker 1: so he's you know, he's getting all these cards and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I don't think he you know,
Speaker 1: he wasn't getting that indies. But there is a dude
Speaker 1: on the indies. His name is p w J. He
Speaker 1: throws wrestling shows. He actually does a cool cool thing
Speaker 1: where whoever's on the show, like he'll make cards about them.
Speaker 1: So when when, uh, when Jacob put was on the indies.
Speaker 1: He has a cool Jacob card. He has a Zilla card.
Speaker 1: Most recently, they just released a mystery I Guana card
Speaker 1: which is actually fire.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I worked with the p w J at Wrestle Con.
Speaker 2: He was there.
Speaker 3: Didn't get a chance to talk to him, but yeah,
Speaker 3: he had that mister Iguana card. I love what he does.
Speaker 3: I think it's awesome. I wish he took like more fire,
Speaker 3: you know, I wish he got more traction. But it's
Speaker 3: really awesome what it does for sure.
Speaker 1: But so let's see the last two. What's your top two?
Speaker 3: This is gonna be like the toughest one. It's it's one, A,
Speaker 3: one B. But this is the scene of card I
Speaker 3: was talking about, it's a one out of five. It'd
Speaker 3: be tough to see that scene as a one out
Speaker 3: of five. Yeah, yeah, there, it's a one out of five.
Speaker 3: John Cena, it's gonna be his last auto ever ever recorded.
Speaker 3: On a wrestling card ever, and there's only five of
Speaker 3: them in the world that I have, the first one
Speaker 3: on print. The only one better is the one of
Speaker 3: one so which I'm still looking for. It hasn't been
Speaker 3: dropped yet. I don't think anybody's picked it up. But
Speaker 3: that's the scene of card I was looking for. And
Speaker 3: then really, I think no card could ever touch this.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give this to my kids one day, hopefully
Speaker 3: they give it to their kids. It's the first ever
Speaker 3: stone cold Steve Austin on card auto. It's his rookie like,
Speaker 3: this is the first party ever signed in his whole life.
Speaker 3: It's actually number two if you see, there's only five
Speaker 3: hundred in the world, and there's not one in the
Speaker 3: world great better than mine, which is a beck at
Speaker 3: ten auto. Yeah, and I mean there, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a stone called stunn Or too. I mean it's
Speaker 3: it's just a grail card that I'll never touch, I'll
Speaker 3: never sell.
Speaker 2: It's priceless.
Speaker 1: So now, yeah, that's that's something that you pass on
Speaker 1: to your to your kids.
Speaker 3: For sure.
Speaker 1: Sure. I think that's a solid top five for any
Speaker 1: of the people that that collect cards that are listening,
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think Nick got a pretty
Speaker 1: solid I mean, you have a car with Roman reigns
Speaker 1: and Black Lester. I don't think you could.
Speaker 2: You could, yeah, not many, not many people.
Speaker 3: There's only ten of those in the world, so like
Speaker 3: they didn't release any like lower level ones.
Speaker 2: So I mean, it's it's an awesome card.
Speaker 1: Bro Is there is there like a dream autograph or
Speaker 1: like a dream card that you would always that you want,
Speaker 1: that that you know that you've always dreamt of having.
Speaker 3: There's a there's a couple. I mean, I really want
Speaker 3: the one of one Dim Mystereo. I just talked to
Speaker 3: the guy today. We're a little far off on the number,
Speaker 3: but that's really what I love Dom. I think Dom's awesome.
Speaker 3: He's gonna be something different. I mean then and the
Speaker 3: vintage stuff too, Like I just saw an Eddie Guerrero
Speaker 3: on Carduto pop up, you know, stuff like that. But
Speaker 3: I would say the one of one Dom mysterial auto.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dom is is definitely the future. I love Dom.
Speaker 1: Dom's his swag is you know. I feel like there's yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to be better than your pops, and
Speaker 1: I feel like Dom will dead ass be better than
Speaker 1: his pops. Which is crazy because I was watching an
Speaker 1: interview with with Zilla today and he, you know, he
Speaker 1: mentioned that when they were younger, him at Zilla and
Speaker 1: Dom used to like play around, spend a lot of
Speaker 1: time together. So I feel like that's one match that
Speaker 1: we have to get whenever the time is right. We
Speaker 1: definitely have to get that.
Speaker 3: Zilla's got some time. But I just met him at Restakanto.
Speaker 3: What a genuine dude, unbelievable personality or just a warm soul.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Zilla is it is definitely a cool dude.
Speaker 1: Whenever his card comes out, that's.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be.
Speaker 1: They already got the Zilla half in half ort, already
Speaker 1: cooked up, already ready to go.
Speaker 2: For sure.
Speaker 3: I have the I have the Dom Mysterio and Ray
Speaker 3: Mysterio where it's like a variation where it came out
Speaker 3: where it's Dom as a kid and it's it's that
Speaker 3: card with the blonde hair and ship. Yeah, and they're
Speaker 3: both in the ring when it's like an iconic card. Man,
Speaker 3: it's something I'll never sell you there.
Speaker 1: Does does a W have cards? Do they do cards?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: They have arts. I mean it's not as as nice
Speaker 2: as w W.
Speaker 3: And I mean the talent's not there, but you'll see
Speaker 3: a market for Tony Storm mocks hangman ospray Omega. I
Speaker 3: don't think he does too well. To be honest with you,
Speaker 3: I think he's had cards in Japan, that's why. But
Speaker 3: it's just not as not as big. You know.
Speaker 1: That's tough now has collecting cards because I saw you
Speaker 1: did a video the other day when you were in
Speaker 1: the mall and you just I think you were either
Speaker 1: coppin or you sold. I think you sold a pack
Speaker 1: to somebody, like three packs to somebody, or I think
Speaker 1: you bought them. I'm not too sure, correct me if
Speaker 1: I'm I bought them. So has this journey of yours?
Speaker 1: Has it connected you to any wrestlers and or wrestling fans,
Speaker 1: like make it you got closer to the love of
Speaker 1: the sport, dude.
Speaker 3: It's it's the best thing about it. Like I said,
Speaker 3: this wrestlekind, I met so many different people. I have
Speaker 3: wrestlers come up to me and they know my stuff,
Speaker 3: which is cool. I've done deals with Cardona, I've done deals.
Speaker 2: With a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Zella. I gave a couple of cards to a lot
Speaker 3: of the influencers like Van Vliet, cool with him now.
Speaker 3: I sent the packages all the time. Santie's weezy blonde.
Speaker 3: I mean Alan Owens too, I'm super cool with him.
Speaker 3: We're doing a video soon.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Just being in the community and I mean, now it's
Speaker 3: technically my side job, so I need to be on
Speaker 3: top of wrestling, but it just makes it so much easier,
Speaker 3: you know, And it's really good just the community as
Speaker 3: a whole, and people coming up to me and say, hey,
Speaker 3: I see your videos and you know I bought cars
Speaker 3: from you.
Speaker 2: It just you know, it means to all the school.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I've noticed. One thing I've definitely noticed is
Speaker 1: the wrestling community is very tight knit and like everybody
Speaker 1: knows everybody. You'll always see everybody at one thing. I've
Speaker 1: noticed with another thing, these wrestling pay per views. Whenever
Speaker 1: ww's in town and there's a show, every single indie
Speaker 1: talent in the world is at the show. I've gone
Speaker 1: to DNA, I've seen indie wrestlers. I've gone to an XT,
Speaker 1: I've seen indie wrestlers. I really like, especially in New
Speaker 1: York because you're from New York World from New York, yep.
Speaker 1: And like I was telling Vincenzo New York is the mecca.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: If you know, if it's not popping here is not
Speaker 1: popping anywhere. It's not La it's not Texas.
Speaker 3: Fat.
Speaker 1: The middle of the world runs through New York, through
Speaker 1: through music, where the financial capital of the world. The
Speaker 1: best wrestlers are from New York. The best music is
Speaker 1: from New York, the best foods from New York. And
Speaker 1: I just feel like, you know, people like you and me,
Speaker 1: and in this wrestling space, it's a cool space to
Speaker 1: grow again. I didn't I didn't know baby Face breaks
Speaker 1: from a hole in the world. We just happened to randomly,
Speaker 1: you know. And you're doing your thing. I'm doing my thing,
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's the best part about the
Speaker 1: wrestling community is there's people that collect cards, there's people
Speaker 1: that videotape the wrestlers, there's photographers, there's there's people on TikTok.
Speaker 1: I see a guy he goes around and his whole
Speaker 1: shtick is he wants to be announcer. So he goes
Speaker 1: to these meeting greets and he announces the wrestlers to
Speaker 1: the point where like, you know, they they love it,
Speaker 1: like he did Dom the other day, And I'm like, oh, Bro,
Speaker 1: Like that's so cool because like Dom is going with it,
Speaker 1: He's putting the championship up in the air and everything
Speaker 1: like that. But the wrestling community, especially in New York,
Speaker 1: is cool. There's there's so many content creators. Nobody tries
Speaker 1: to like step on anybody's toes. There's it's not one
Speaker 1: of those things where like, oh, I'm the only card
Speaker 1: collector in the world, I'm the only one that does
Speaker 1: wrestling cards. Like Bro, There's there's so many of us.
Speaker 1: But it's just like it's it's less tearing down and
Speaker 1: like less crabs in a bucket mentality and more like, hey, like,
Speaker 1: how can I help you? Like, let's let's collab, let's
Speaker 1: you feel me. That's essentially I feel like that's what
Speaker 1: old this is. It's like, you know, like we're collabing
Speaker 1: right now. This is a collaboration. You feel me, you
Speaker 1: know it. And it's funny how everything works. Interviewed Vincenzo.
Speaker 1: He's wearing the baby Face Breaks hat. I'm like, yo, bro,
Speaker 1: that hat is tough. And then now look I'm with
Speaker 1: the owner of baby Face Breaks. So it's just you know,
Speaker 1: the universe has The universe has a weird way God
Speaker 1: is definitely one of the greatest comedians. The baby's knocked out.
Speaker 1: I love this. He this is gonna make for a
Speaker 1: good look at this. I'm gonna show my wife like whenever,
Speaker 1: whenever you want the baby to go to sleep, just
Speaker 1: let me podcast in my arms.
Speaker 3: The sound of your voice.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: No, she she loves it. I love her so much,
Speaker 1: so I I have to. One of my boys told
Speaker 1: me to ask you this question, and I find it funny.
Speaker 1: So he said, would you rather have a vintage Hogan
Speaker 1: signed boot or a modern Roman reins you see the
Speaker 1: thing that he wears on his hand, like the glove, Yeah,
Speaker 1: or a Roman rains glove. Damn, take your time. I know,
Speaker 1: I know you love memorabilia, so this is hard.
Speaker 2: Damn. Wow. Both are sweet.
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 3: The vintage stuff is like, that's timeless. Bro. You've probably
Speaker 3: seen a million Roman reigns like gloves, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. I know my boy on State Island over
Speaker 3: here has two of them, you know, But a whole
Speaker 3: Togan boot like and that vintage style white or red
Speaker 3: boot that he used to wear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of been clothes, bro, that one.
Speaker 1: The boot is bro, it's I went to a Fanatics
Speaker 1: fest this year, first time going. I think it's like
Speaker 1: the second one. And when I tell you, Bro, the
Speaker 1: amount of cards that we're there, like, I was just
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna buy anything, but if it was affordable,
Speaker 1: I would have threw a stab at it. So I'm
Speaker 1: walking around and I'm seeing the prices on some of
Speaker 1: these cards and I'm like, brouh, Like I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm getting head cracked again, I'm just window shopping.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they have they have these uh what's it?
Speaker 1: Somebody had like a raymisterial mask, which is cool. I
Speaker 1: feel like that's that's a dope thing to have. That's
Speaker 1: they had a Penta mask, but like not W W Pencer,
Speaker 1: Like I don't even think it was a W. Penzer,
Speaker 1: Like I think it was like Indie Penza, which is
Speaker 1: kind of cool. Do you have like any memorabilia that
Speaker 1: you that you own that's like super near and dear
Speaker 1: to your heart?
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is a really funny one. Actually,
Speaker 3: so at Russell con I got put next to my Kyota.
Speaker 2: Okay, that dude is the best human in the universe.
Speaker 3: Bro, I mean we talked shop for hours upart of
Speaker 3: hours it felt like that dude was like my uncle
Speaker 3: that I never had, you know what I mean, just
Speaker 3: the stories like coming from his perception it's on there're
Speaker 3: a million dollar stories and just a genuine guy like
Speaker 3: you said, there's no no ego involved in him. We
Speaker 3: were just man to man. It was nothing like, Oh,
Speaker 3: I'm my Kyota. Dude was the best guy in the
Speaker 3: world and he signed he signed something for me after
Speaker 3: working with him for two days, and it says like
Speaker 3: to my best pal Nick, a couple other things and
Speaker 3: then it's the WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: Cash and the Rolins. That's the picture of So I.
Speaker 3: Mean that one is just like you get eight by tens,
Speaker 3: you go up to them, Hey, what's your name?
Speaker 2: How are you? You shake the hand?
Speaker 3: But the story with Kyota, like we have each other's number,
Speaker 3: he wears my hat on his podcast, just like a
Speaker 3: genuine friendship we developed.
Speaker 2: So I would have to same, like Kyota eight by ten.
Speaker 1: To me, that's that's pretty dope. That's pretty Do you
Speaker 1: do you fancy these wrestle cons. I've never I've never
Speaker 1: been to one. I know they did. The last one
Speaker 1: was in Jersey. That one look pretty cool. I would
Speaker 1: love I would love to go to one. I feel
Speaker 1: like that's for somebody in my lane where we interview people.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's somewhere that I gotta be at again.
Speaker 2: I just.
Speaker 1: A couple of my buddies go and I asked him.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, so, like, how does that work? Like
Speaker 1: do you wait until? Like I could only imagine, Like
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna use JBL for example, Like imagine you
Speaker 1: get to you get on JBL's line. And I'm not
Speaker 1: saying JBL has the longest line in the world, but
Speaker 1: let's say he has a couple of people, right, and
Speaker 1: then you got people behind you wait, and it's like
Speaker 1: do you ask him, Hey, mister Bradshaw Layfield, like can
Speaker 1: I get a three minute interview with you? And I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure some of them will probably say yes, some
Speaker 1: of them will probably say you gotta pay a fee.
Speaker 1: There's something that might even do a free you know.
Speaker 1: He tells me like he did my boy shout out
Speaker 1: to Manny's Manny's content, he did kurd Angle. He got
Speaker 1: an interview with kurd Angle, and you know, pretty much
Speaker 1: pasted kurd Angle for advice because my friend Manny shout
Speaker 1: out to him and his baby mother. They're about to
Speaker 1: have a kid, a baby boy, so he pretty much
Speaker 1: asked him for fatherly advice, which I think is pretty
Speaker 1: cool because the advice was it was wholesome. You know,
Speaker 1: it's you know, kurd Angle is pretty much saying that,
Speaker 1: you know, he never really got to spend a lot
Speaker 1: of time with his kids because he was always on
Speaker 1: the road, and you know when he when he did
Speaker 1: get to spend time with him, he really wasn't there.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's I definitely want to go
Speaker 1: to the next wrestled con. I know they have what
Speaker 1: is it called big event they're doing, like the Big
Speaker 1: Goldberg's Lasting.
Speaker 3: Yes things last time Goldberg's there too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be there. I'll be there.
Speaker 3: I have a table there, so yo, if you ever want,
Speaker 3: if you can get some talent, come up to the table.
Speaker 3: You're more than welcome to use it, hang out, but
Speaker 3: I would set things up in advance, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. These guys are normal guys. I saw Mark
Speaker 3: Henry do four or five auto interviews and all the
Speaker 3: indie people are just walking around. Man, They're dying for content,
Speaker 3: just just as we are, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem, just like Zilla.
Speaker 3: I talked to Zilla for damn near ten minutes. He
Speaker 3: went to went to my table. He was like, Yo,
Speaker 3: you got any I gave him a nice card of
Speaker 3: OFFENSECA gave him a hat, just a genuine dude that
Speaker 3: I mean you'll get You'll get those people walking around
Speaker 3: for sure. So I would shoot your shot and I'll
Speaker 3: be there for sure. And if you need a spot
Speaker 3: to post up, just I'm chill with me.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And when is the for those people that are
Speaker 1: interested in going to the event, when is the next
Speaker 1: big event? I know it's like a November.
Speaker 2: It's a November in Long Island. Yeah, it's a two
Speaker 2: day event, maybe maybe one or two. I gotta check in.
Speaker 2: I think November sixteenth or fifteenth, something like that.
Speaker 1: Gotta yeah, I gotta check out those dayscause I would
Speaker 1: love to go to.
Speaker 3: Like I.
Speaker 1: I'm a big I'm a mark nicky. We all are,
Speaker 1: ye all marks like I just my bark level is
Speaker 1: not like turned up all the way. But like sometimes
Speaker 1: i'd be marking out and I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of had an epiphany the other day. And
Speaker 1: I always tell this to my boy Dave's he's one
Speaker 1: of my podcast buddies that he runs this podcast with me,
Speaker 1: and we always tell each other the same quote, and
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, for every thousand no's, you're gonna
Speaker 1: get a yes. And that one yes, bro could open
Speaker 1: a lot of doors. And one story that I wanted
Speaker 1: to tell. I really don't tell a lot of stories
Speaker 1: on this podcast. I usually let the people that I'm
Speaker 1: interviewing tell the stories. But we had Isaiah Cassie from
Speaker 1: Private Party. He pulled up to Hog. I want to say, June,
Speaker 1: I forgot what it was, but I'm bring side with
Speaker 1: my boy watching the show and my boy Dave comes
Speaker 1: up to me. He's like, yo, Like Isaiah Cassidy and
Speaker 1: Private Party they want us to like like film their vlog.
Speaker 1: I'm like, like, I had plans on filming the wrestling matches,
Speaker 1: but you know, shit, it's not every day where you
Speaker 1: get to film for Private Party. So we get to
Speaker 1: the end of the night and I'm ready to go.
Speaker 1: You know, we're helping break down because we like helping
Speaker 1: you know, our boy wrestlers for the promotion LPW, which
Speaker 1: is like the NXT of Hog. So you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: we help put the chairs away, we help clean up whatever.
Speaker 1: And Dave pulled me to the side. He's like, yo,
Speaker 1: like you know, Isaiah Cassidy just paid us. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck do you mean he paid us. He's like, yeah, Bro,
Speaker 1: he paid us. He gave me. He gave Dave some bread.
Speaker 1: He gave me some bread. And from this day, Bro,
Speaker 1: I have the utmost respect for Isaiah Cassidy and Mark
Speaker 1: Quinn and Private Party because they didn't have to do that.
Speaker 1: You know, it's for them to pay us to record them.
Speaker 1: And if you if you go on his blog, you
Speaker 1: could see it. Well you're backstage, I'm sitting there with
Speaker 1: the same Yankee hat Opichades and you know, again, extremely
Speaker 1: humble dude. They're cool dudes. Like you said, Bro, they're
Speaker 1: humans just like us. They're marks. Wrestlers are bigger marks
Speaker 1: than us most of the time. Fat facts. But any
Speaker 1: you know, anytime Private parties around, I'll cop whatever I
Speaker 1: can because again, they didn't have to do that. They
Speaker 1: support the culture and that's that's pretty dope to see.
Speaker 1: This has been a great By the way, if you
Speaker 1: guys are listening to this PODC cast, make sure you
Speaker 1: go on Instagram and follow Nick at baby Face Breaks.
Speaker 1: He's a very cool dude sliding his dms. He he
Speaker 1: was telling me, you say you don't sell packs, you
Speaker 1: sell blasters or what they're called.
Speaker 3: I sell like banger packs. They usually like banger packs. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they usually like exclusive to the shows I go to.
Speaker 3: I am gonna look up maybe like a little e
Speaker 3: commerce thing where I could sell some packs, because product's
Speaker 3: really hard to come by. I make sure every pack
Speaker 3: that I give you is gonna be more money than
Speaker 3: then you paid for it. You know, you're not gonna
Speaker 3: get killed on the stuff I do. But if I
Speaker 3: do something like that, I'll hit you up. But otherwise,
Speaker 3: just any card you need, Like I'm a hunter, you
Speaker 3: need a card, I'll find it, no doubt, no problem.
Speaker 3: I'll get it for you or I have it. I
Speaker 3: have the inventory over of ten twenty thousand cards in
Speaker 3: my inventory, so I probably have it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just let me know. Yeah for sure.
Speaker 1: How's the how's the me if I'm wrong with a terminology?
Speaker 1: There's hobby shops, then there's like card shops. How is
Speaker 1: it like where you live or do you have a
Speaker 1: lot of them? Because like over here in Yonkers. We
Speaker 1: really have like like a card store. We have like one,
Speaker 1: like one big one. So he has the right to
Speaker 1: charge whatever he wants to charge for whatever he.
Speaker 3: Wants, right we have local card shops. It's same vibe overview,
Speaker 3: there's just a lot more. But for wrestling, the products
Speaker 3: and not there.
Speaker 2: That's the problem. It's just unaccessible. And that's where we're
Speaker 2: finding the problems.
Speaker 3: You know, you can go anywhere and you're never gonna
Speaker 3: find you find a wrestling box right now, there's a
Speaker 3: zero percent chance.
Speaker 2: You're gonna find one in the wall. It's not possible.
Speaker 3: So I don't really deal with card shops as much.
Speaker 3: All product I get is through the company that I
Speaker 3: work for. They send me product right to my house.
Speaker 3: I break in online and that's really it. But other
Speaker 3: than that, I stacked my inventory by buying collections and
Speaker 3: singles and stuff like that. But product's tough, man, It's
Speaker 3: almost impossible to get now with the.
Speaker 1: With the the newest releases because I forgot what store was.
Speaker 1: I know, Target does wrestling cards, I know, not not
Speaker 1: Walmart Walmart, but like, yeah, we don't see you don't
Speaker 1: have Walmart down here. We got like a Target, but
Speaker 1: would you suggest, like is it worth it to camp
Speaker 1: out for these cards or like what we were saying before,
Speaker 1: like is it better off just you know, you going
Speaker 1: looking for a specific card that you want. Because essentially,
Speaker 1: let's say you the target opens up at eight, you're
Speaker 1: on the line at six, you wait two hours, you
Speaker 1: go get your pack, and you're you're you got nothing.
Speaker 1: You got dirt, like no, not even a no inserts,
Speaker 1: nothing like what's your take on that?
Speaker 3: So my advice there is either go, like if you
Speaker 3: want to be most wrestling guys are just like collectors
Speaker 3: of certain people, so they'll only buy cards of certain people.
Speaker 3: The way I do my breaks is if you're a
Speaker 3: real and Rains guy, you come into my break and
Speaker 3: you buy Roman Rains. So if I open up a
Speaker 3: case of cards, you're gonna get every single Roman Rains
Speaker 3: cards that comes out right to your hands. So I
Speaker 3: would suggest going and breaks, buying the people that you like,
Speaker 3: or going on eBay and just checking out singles. You know,
Speaker 3: but if you want to like it's that that uh
Speaker 3: you know, like the addiction to rip, you gotta rip
Speaker 3: here and there. I mean, it's the best thing in
Speaker 3: the world. There's nothing like ripping. You know, it's an
Speaker 3: automatic l but you gotta do it.
Speaker 1: Not yet, it's a it's a one thing I love
Speaker 1: about the whole card thing is is watching people open cards,
Speaker 1: like the way they open cars. Like I forgot what
Speaker 1: it was. The guy who's ripping like basketball cards and
Speaker 1: like he ripped the uh he ripped the victor Wemba
Speaker 1: Yamba Like it was like I think one on one
Speaker 1: are like very expensive card and like, bro, the dude
Speaker 1: literally like jumps out of his skin because it's a
Speaker 1: it's a victor win Byamba card. But it's a it's
Speaker 1: a it's a listen man, wrestling. Like I said, wrestling
Speaker 1: brings people together. It's a it's a great community. It's
Speaker 1: a niche community. It's it makes the world small and
Speaker 1: but it makes the world big at the same time
Speaker 1: because like you could have a person across the world
Speaker 1: and in India that wants to you know, cop a
Speaker 1: card off off a nick and it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: wrestling is is just it's just such a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1: How we could all mark out over something so simple.
Speaker 3: So it's amazing. It's the best community ever. It's three
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty five days no off season. We've been fans,
Speaker 3: like since we're kids, we're still fans as fathers. You know,
Speaker 3: we're gonna hands it down to our kids. I mean
Speaker 3: it's great, you know, yeah.
Speaker 1: N I be So my wife doesn't really like wrestling
Speaker 1: that much. She'll watch it everyone, Like she watched the
Speaker 1: ww on Real Show with me, which was cool, but
Speaker 1: like I'm trying to get the baby, the baby into it,
Speaker 1: like the baby low key watches it because like I
Speaker 1: was watching it when she was just young. Like I remember,
Speaker 1: I'll never forget bro I was at my grandma's house
Speaker 1: and I walked by the team and my uncle used
Speaker 1: to watch it o d religiously, like so his girlfriend
Speaker 1: used to back in the day, and I'm age myself.
Speaker 1: She used to record them on the VHS and then
Speaker 1: on Monday she would give me the VHS to watch
Speaker 1: the pay per view so I didn't have to pay
Speaker 1: for it. So the first wrestler I've ever seen was
Speaker 1: the Undertaker, and I remember like jumping, being so scared,
Speaker 1: but like at the same time, I was like intrigued,
Speaker 1: so like I kind of went back in the living
Speaker 1: rooms like to see what it was. And then you know,
Speaker 1: ever since then it's just like you know, wrestling. I
Speaker 1: don't want to say it's taken over my life, but
Speaker 1: like it's And then I feel like wrestling has has
Speaker 1: not for only me, for but like a lot of people.
Speaker 1: I feel like wrestling has kept a lot of youth
Speaker 1: out of trouble. Because if it wasn't for wrestling, I
Speaker 1: don't I really don't know what kind of the bauchery
Speaker 1: I'd be getting myself into. I would say wrestling in
Speaker 1: video games probably saved me. I'd probably be in jail
Speaker 1: because I probably did some dumb stuff back in the day.
Speaker 1: But like wrestling really saves lives. And you know, it's
Speaker 1: like I said, it's so cool that I could have
Speaker 1: people on these plays forms from different walks of life,
Speaker 1: like content creators, people like yourself that collect cards. One
Speaker 1: thing about the I would say memorabilia or collecting. You
Speaker 1: see how like we were mentioning aw has cards and
Speaker 1: you know, there's not really a market for them, is there?
Speaker 1: Because I guess the wrestlers are still alive, but the
Speaker 1: company's not. Is there any value in like old WCW
Speaker 1: cards if they even make if they even made WCW.
Speaker 3: Cards, No, there's a I mean ninety percent of them.
Speaker 2: I mean we all have them.
Speaker 3: They're like the red, yellow, black cards that if I
Speaker 3: showed you one right now, you're like, oh yeah, like
Speaker 3: I've noticed those. There's this certain set that came out
Speaker 3: and I think I told you I just saw an
Speaker 3: Eddie Guerrero on card auto. I mean it's the most
Speaker 3: limited set ever and it was WCW H and they
Speaker 3: just ran it one time. But other than that, no,
Speaker 3: you're not going to find anything like worth value. I
Speaker 3: mean that's crazy.
Speaker 1: And it's crazy because like if you look at the
Speaker 1: stars that they had back, like again, I'm I love
Speaker 1: w C W. And there's just certain wrestles like I
Speaker 1: would love a Conan car like I would you know.
Speaker 1: It's just like there's certain things there is, right and
Speaker 1: and like I remember when was it this is when
Speaker 1: this is more memorabilia. But I remember when Xpac left
Speaker 1: the nWo and they started wearing the uh, the nWo
Speaker 1: shirt with the six ball on the back. Bro, do
Speaker 1: you know how hard it was to find that shirt?
Speaker 3: Like I've really I feel like people remade that ship though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like you, like I used to, I think
Speaker 1: was the way you chase cards I used to chase.
Speaker 1: I used to chase like vintage merch. Like vintage merch
Speaker 1: was like bro. I used to spend hours on eBay,
Speaker 1: on hours on Etsy looking for surets.
Speaker 3: Like there was a.
Speaker 1: Stone Cold shirt that I bought that wasn't even my size.
Speaker 1: I just bought it because the shit was so hard
Speaker 1: and I love camel So I had the the camouflage
Speaker 1: skull on the front and like he's holding like two
Speaker 1: cans of beer and in the back and it says
Speaker 1: like don't trust anybody, but it's in camouflage.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm extra large. The shirt is like
Speaker 1: a large, and I cop that only were at once.
Speaker 1: But it's just like like it was just a case
Speaker 1: of getting that merch Bro. Or like back in the
Speaker 1: day WWE, like when we were in high school, w
Speaker 1: W every Thursday they would drop Thursday like throw back
Speaker 1: Thursday shirts. And that's another thing about the kind of
Speaker 1: gets me upset. Their their quality on their shirts is
Speaker 1: completely They kind of went, yeah, Bro, it's it's whack.
Speaker 1: It's so whacked to the w W shop shirt. Bro,
Speaker 1: No way, no, absolutely, And and I think that goes
Speaker 1: with with that whole like deal that they got with fanatics,
Speaker 1: because even the baseball jerseys and football jerseys with fanatics
Speaker 1: is like the quality's tour it's and it's whack because
Speaker 1: WW shirts used to be gas Like I can't. It's
Speaker 1: just it's too thin for me. And I'm you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a stickler for good merch. I'm in the
Speaker 1: process of trying to make merch myself for the podcast
Speaker 1: and for the boys. And it's like something so so
Speaker 1: small as like the texture of the shirt, like.
Speaker 3: For sure, if you need like a guild and heavyweight
Speaker 3: or a shaka or something like that, Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 3: wearing a shirt.
Speaker 1: Bro's like a shaka, like I forgot, I have a zilla,
Speaker 1: had a he hosted a rap show on my birthday
Speaker 1: and they dropped like a merch drop and the shirt
Speaker 1: is shakas and it's it kind of reminds me of
Speaker 1: like the quality that Fourth Rope uses, Like on the
Speaker 1: Fourth Rope shirts, Bro, the Fourth Rope shirts are so yass,
Speaker 1: like West Side Gun that asks like he's know what
Speaker 1: he's doing with those with the quality of those shirts,
Speaker 1: like for sure, yeah the shirt is eighty bucks. But
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like there's nobody making
Speaker 1: merch like that. And there's a lot of wrestling bootleggers
Speaker 1: that make, you know, bootleg shirts and shit like that,
Speaker 1: but like nobody's making shirts like like West Side Gun
Speaker 1: right now. And every time I wear them, like you
Speaker 1: get some sort of compliment when you go out, like
Speaker 1: people are, oh, would you get like, bro, this is
Speaker 1: this is fourth rope right here, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: what's that? And I'm like I got to explain to
Speaker 1: them what forethrope is and it's like, yeah, but that's
Speaker 1: that they should definitely that's one group of people that
Speaker 1: should definitely drop some some trading cards just fourthrow like
Speaker 1: trading card or like Josh Bishop trading card super Tough.
Speaker 2: They would pop off for sure. For sure.
Speaker 1: Do you have any upcoming like card shows coming up
Speaker 1: or so.
Speaker 3: My next one? I'm sort of like strained away from
Speaker 3: the local cards, Like local card shows. Wrestling doesn't do
Speaker 3: as well as you think.
Speaker 2: It's cool.
Speaker 3: You know here and there, customers are here and there.
Speaker 3: But I'd rather just do my stuff online, stack up
Speaker 3: and and do these big wrestling events. So big Event
Speaker 3: in November is gonna be my next one?
Speaker 1: Nice? And you said that's November sixteen.
Speaker 4: It's in the team somewhere. Yeah, I'll send you a
Speaker 4: flyer and if it's one of them, but it's called

Speaker 4: like a rite of passage. You have to like go

Speaker 4: who you could fuck around and catch an interview from.
Speaker 2: You know, it's exactly I mean, you gotta shoot your
