This will probably be a pretty short post, as my kids brought home a cold a few days ago, and it finally caught up with me. I will be attempting to go to bed early tonight in an effort to recover, as I don't really have time right now to be sick. I have a lot to get done before this weekend, when I travel to Portland, Oregon, for some training. This is one week when I'd be grateful for a few extra hours per day to get everything taken care of at the office.
I picked up a couple of 2016 WWE Undisputed autographs from one of my favorite wrestling shops, The Puro Central Shop. They are closed right now because the owner is moving after a job change, but eventually that link will take you to their storefront. Usually I buy Japanese wrestling stuff from them, but I kind of started a Nia Jax wrestler collection and this was the right card at the right price. I actually think I bought these from their eBay store, but it's all the same folks. The Nia Jax autograph is a Bronze parallel, numbered # 35 / 99. I was looking for a wrestler outside of Bayley to collect, because I can't afford to collect Bayley, and I pulled Nia Jax hit from a blaster of Divas Revolution and figured I might as well go that route. I've watched a few of her matches, mostly between her and Bayley. I think she could stand to work on her mic skills a bit, but that's true of most wrestlers. As far as wrestling pedigree, she's related to Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, the Usos, and Roman Reigns.
I honestly don't know much of anything about Big E, but his picture on this card makes me happy, so I bought it. Okay, I went and watched some New Day (Big E's team) stuff. It was pretty entertaining to me. I don't know if I will seek out more stuff, but I am glad I got a copy of this card. It is the Silver parallel, numbered # 47 / 50.
That's all for today. I am approaching my self-imposed bedtime for tonight and there are still things to do, so I had better get out of here.
Just getting over a cold myself. Hope you feel better soon. As for these autos... I've never heard of either of them. But on-card autographs rule!
ReplyDeleteI also like these on-card autographs. This design specifically would look pretty bad with sticker autos.
DeleteThe more I see each of them, the more i find myself entertained. Great autos, congrats! Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI should probably learn the WWE schedule so I can tune in somewhat regularly. Most of my exposure comes from watching YouTube clips every so often or seeing what new Topps Now cards come out of the bigger events.
DeleteNice autos. Wow I need to become a fan of Nia Jax.
ReplyDeleteNah, she doesn't need any more card collecting fans, at least not until I've picked up all of her cards.
DeleteI didn't know Nia was related to the Rock, Usos and Roman...though now that you mention it I can see the family resemblance. You are right, she needs to work on her mic skills...but unless your name is Enzo Amore, everyone needs to work on their mic skills!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know it, either, until I read her Wikipedia page.
