Jim Cornette's Collecting ... Munchos are great but $2.99? ...

 

                Love Munchos but c'mon, lets get more in the bag. 

                          Having said that I would still be open to Munchos sponsorship 😁

                 The Louisville Slugger ... 

    Jim Cornette. Wrestling Manager, Booker, Promoter, ran his own territory, pro wrestling historian. To say the man loves the business is an understatement. A brilliant mind for the business. Willing to drop a F-Bomb when called for. Big into pop culture also. Comic books, trading cards, posters.

            "So, collector like us but with more knowledge and money"

                       Not really the point ... but ... yeah

    Alright back on topic. Vice TV can put on some pretty good programming as it relates to Rasslin'. They do good work. The Vault at Cornette's Castle during one of the episodes really stood out. 

   

    Not the greatest pic as I juggle three tasks at once here but you can get the gist of what we're talking about. The sloped V ceiling with event posters. Shelves lined with memorabilia. A random floor fan. White longboxes with programs, magazines and comics. 
 

                Intermission. Cue the Sax ...

       Now that's a great alternate mix. What a talented foursome  😎 😍

Levi Stubbs. Helluva voice though. Alright, jumping back in

      From complete sets of programs over the years from territories such as Paul Boesch's legendary Houston promotion to Georgia Championship Wrestling and programs owned by the great Gordon Solie. Jim's collection is stout. Impressive. When discussing his collection, be it on tv or his podcast, it's quite easy to recognize the pride he has with what has been accumulated over the years. 

    He also understands from a practical point of view it's simply impossible to accumulate it all. It can't be done. What you can do, however, is pick up a program from say Los Angeles when pro wrestling was at the Olympic Auditorium. An autographed event poster from Don Owens' Pacific Northwest territory. You can get a piece, or two or three pieces, from every old territory. 

   I can appreciate that strategy. I employ it with sportscards. As much as I would like to have every 1999 Topps Finest Die Cut Gold Refractor of every player in my collection. It's not feasible. So, you pick and choose...

      No Trevor is not for sale. 😁

        Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, yeah I borrow heavily from Jim Cornette. The occasional full set of something, or a piece of this, that or the other.

                   It creates a uniqueness.
