^ I am so jealous of you two because Cesaro and Ziggler are two of my favorite people.

I attended the Hamilton Comic Con today where I met a bunch of legends.. I got there at around 11:20 and then waited for another 20 minutes to get in. Lots of people on the first floor, so I went straight to the third floor where I immediately found yeetman13. Chatted with him for a bit and then we both met Tugboat together. Just like the first time I met him, Tugboat was pretty cool and was willing to chat with his fans. I got him to sign my encyclopedia as Tugboat because I already have him as Typhoon. He was charging only $10 on personal items and $10 for a photo-op which I thought was decent. I expected him to charge $20 for an autograph, which was my limit per wrestler, so I happily paid $20 for both an autograph and a picture with him. For photo-ops, he lets people try on his Shockmaster helmet. I'm a little sick, so I didn't put it on. Even if I wasn't sick, I still wouldn't have put it on. I just held it for the photo-op. Thanks yeetman13, for taking the pic! I then move onto Bushwhacker Luke, who I felt pretty bad for because while other wrestlers had lines, he did not so he was just on his phone. He was also only charging $10, which was pretty good. He originally was a "maybe".. meaning that he wasn't a top priority to get. If he was charging $20, I would have passed. I got my Post Honeycomb poster signed by him. I thanked him and he responded "no problem, mate!" I then met the Honky Tonk Man, who I believe was charging $25. A little over than I wanted to spend, but I really wanted him in the encyclopedia. He seemed like he was having a bad day, but still he joked with me. Howard Finkel is on the next page in the encyclopedia, so he said "if I close it this way (left side over right side - Honky's page would go on top Howard's) then I pin Howard 1..2..3.., right? But if I close it the other way, Howard would pin me! What are you going to do?" lol.. I pinned Howard for him and he smiled and said "enjoy the convention!" I then moved onto Howard Finkel, who was charging $20. He asked for my name and whether or not I wanted the autograph personalized. I told him my name and that I wanted it personalized. I thank him then move onto Ted. Ted DiBiase was also charging $20. He would talk to you if you wanted to, but I didn't have anything to say to him, so once he signed my book, I thanked him and moved on the Mean Gene. I was in line for Mean Gene, and the handler told me that Mean Gene was going to go on break and that he would be back at 1:30. It was just past 12 at this point, so I'd have to wait over an hour for him. Anyways, I then go the Hacksaw, who had the longest line, probably because it was moving the slowest since he took the time to talk to each and every person. As I'm about to meet Hacksaw, I notice that Mean Gene wasn't going on break and that people were still going up to meet him. Ugh lol.. When I went up to Hacksaw, who was charging $20, he asked for my name. I told him my name was Alex and he responds by saying "Hi Alan!". The handler corrects him by saying, "he said Alex".. close call. He almost made my autograph out to Alan lol. He asked where I was from and he asked if I watch today's wrestling. I told him that I did, and then he asked for my favourite current wrestlers, which I responded that I don't really have a favourite right now. After he signed, he thanked me and quickly asked if I'm having a good time at the con. Such a nice guy! After I met Hacksaw, I see yeetman and Arun chatting, so I go up to them and say hi as well. It was right before the Wrestling Q & A, so after chatting with them, I quickly go and meet Mean Gene (also $20). He was pretty funny towards the guy in front of me. Mean Gene asked the guy "Where are you from".. and the guy tells him the city. Mean Gene continued "what street?"... and the guy tells him the street. Mean Gene continues "What number?" and the guy tells him the number. The handler asked "What are you going to do? Go to his house?" and the guy responds "I'd love that!". Mean Gene responds: "I have no idea where that is!". When I met Mean Gene, he also asked me what city I'm from, after he signed, he asked if I wanted my name on it and I said sure and told him my name. Another really nice guy. Overall, a really fun event. It was nice chatting with yeetman, arun and starman. Honky Tonk seemed pissed, but still joked with me, so that was ok. Everyone was pretty nice.. not a single complaint!

^ Congrats on meeting so many people.
I just realized that Gavin Spears is current NXT wrestler Tye Dillinger!
I totally didn't know he was in WWE before his current stay in NXT..

First info I've found on the first set of 2015: www.cardboardconnection.com/wrestling-card-sets/2015-topps-wwe-wrestling-cards^ Click the link to see some of the pictures of the cards (which can change). ^ 2015 Topps WWE wrestling cards are a mix of the past, present and future. The company's flagship wrestling set features a comprehensive base set, several and a pair of autographs, event-used or manufactured relics in every hobby box. The 2015 Topps WWE base set has 100 Superstars, Divas and Legends. Topps continues with their recent trend of adding a logo for rookies. Each card has several parallels: Black (1:6 hobby packs), hobby-exclusive Silver (1:24), Gold (#/10) and Red (1/1). Every pack also has a pair of Crowd Chant inserts. These have seven themes, each with ten cards. Like the base set, the cards have both current and retired greats, giving cardboard recognition such live echos as, "U-S-A!," "This is awesome!" and Ric Flair's "Wooooo!" It's probably safe to say that "Let's go, Cena! Cena sucks!" didn't make the cut. NXT inserts return, showcasing some of the best WWE prospects. This set has ten cards, landing 1:3 packs. Hulk Hogan Tribute (ten cards, 1:6) looks back on the career of professional wrestling's biggest icon. This is a cross-set insert that will spread across other Topps WWE sets in 2015. This is the first batch of 40 total cards. Parallels include Gold (#/10), Printing Plates and Red (1/1). Autograph signers confirmed for 2015 Topps WWE include John Cena, Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Debuting on Topps WWE cards are Legends Bret "Hit Man" Hart, George "The Animal" Steele, Rusev, Paige, Emma and Eden. In addition to basic autographs, there are Autographed Printing Plates and rare Triple Autographs. Diva Kiss Cards return. Select WWE Divas puckered up to put a lip print on the card. There are also autographed versions. 2015 Topps WWE has a broad mix of event-used relics. Swatch Relics have pieces of clothing worn by wrestlers. SummerSlam Mat Relics come with swatches of the 2014 SummerSlam canvas embedded in them. New to the set are Athletic Tape Relics which were taken from WWE Superstars after they were done with them. Also new are King of the Ring Sign Relics, which come from the 1993 King of the Ring pay-per-view. On the manufactured relic front the Commemorative Championship Plate collection continues. Collectors can find 30 new cards, which have a new design from 2014. The cards are designed to have replica belt plates from all six WWE championships embedded in them. All autographs and relics in 2015 Topps WWE come with limited Gold (#/10) and Red (1/1) parallels. Estimated Release Date: 2/11/15 Product Configuration: 24 packs per box, 7 cards per pack Price Point: Low-End Wrestling Card Target Audience: WWE Fans, Wrestling Card Collectors, Set Builders, Autograph Collectors 2015 Topps WWE Hobby Box Break 48 Crowd Chants Inserts 168 Total Cards

I found a hobby box of the 2013 set so I picked it up. Some decent cards and surprisingly enough my pulls were decent. I'll snap a pic when I get home. Still waiting on my Chrome 2014 box to come in, hopefully it'll be in tomorrow or by the end of the week.

What were your hits from the 2013 set (which I would guess was the Best of 2013 series)?

I got an Alicia Fox Kiss Card, an AJ Snapshot card, a CM Punk T-Shirt swatch card and a Jack Swagger Autograph card. Wow those are four really good hits. The Alicia Kiss is a bonus hit because you are only really guaranteed a shirt relic and or an auto/mat relic from a PPV. Swagger isn't the best auto to get but hey at least you got one! The CM Punk shirt relic is nice. Is it a one color or two or more colored patch? AJ's Snapshot card is also really cool to get. She is of course the most popular diva so it has the best resale value if you go that route.

I'll have to look again when I get home though. It definitely has the Yellow on there because I said to my friend that it was from his GTS shirt.
