  1. They are going to nit pick the hell out of it.

    I have had sports cards graded before, and if you get a good grade, you lucked out. If anything less than a top grade, it will not bring in that much added value.

    Ken Griffey Jr. RC graded 9.5 = $100

    More valuable card, graded 8.5 = $24

    I am sure the market is different for comics, but make sure you look over EVERYTHING before you send it in, potentially wasting money.

  2. Here we go:

    Vacation starts on Thursday, and son still has absolutely no idea we are going to WM. We spend Friday at Universal, where I get a phone call about my grandfather. Things are bad, and they are pretty sure it is that time.

    At this point, I make the decision to leave for North Carolina, telling my wife that she HAS to take Shaun to the wrestling. I leave Friday night at 7PM, get to NC at 4AM. Before I leave, I sit Shaun down and tell him that I had to go to NC, but I had a surprise for him. I todd the tickets across the table, and he unfolds them. When he sees they are tickets to WM, he screams "Holy shit!" and bursts into tears, then asks me about 5 times if they are real.

    Fast forward 3 hours of sleep, 4 hours at hospital, 2 hours of sleep in car, 3 hours of sleep on a couch in hospital, and 3 hours at hospital, the doctors come back with news that the fluid is clearing out, his right lung looks better, and they are taking him off the ventilator.

    I go to sleep at 8PM, wake up at 1AM, and drive to Miami.

    We get to Sunlife stadium, and well, fuck that place. $40 to park, not a person out there to help direct traffic going in, people in S Florida simply cannot drive. Stupid. We get parked and spend about an hour walking around outside the stadium, checking out the merch stands, etc. (Only bought a program ($20) although they did have some pretty bad ass shirts there.)

    Go in, and the seats turned out to be pretty decent. The only thing that sucked was we were behind the WM sign, so we could not see the entrances. (Lesson learned for the next time we go)

    Matches -

    1. D-Bry vs. Sheamus - I wanted Bryan to win, son wanted Sheamus. We all know how that went at this point. Crap. On the plus side, judging from both the crowd AT WM and RAW on Monday, the WWE created a monster, and it does not look like they know how to handle it. Bryan got a huge reaction at WM as well as at RAW.

    (Side note - I have read a bit about how the crowd was not into it at WM. Maybe it came across that way on TV, but I thought the crowd was a good one.)

    2. Shit, I can't remember the order of matches........Cody / Big Show? We were both going for Big Show, and he won. Yay?!

    3. Divas - Don;t know what happened, I was spending $36 on 2 sodas, 2 hot dogs, and a popcorn.

    4. Kane / Orton - I didn't care, Shaun wanted Orton to win. He was upset that Kane won.

    5. HIAC - Really good match. Didn't think it topped Takers last 3 WM matches, but it was a solid match. In the stadium we could not hear anything they or Michaels was saying. Everyone in our section over 18 was cheering for Taker, anyone under was cheering for HHH.

    6. Teddy / Johnny - This and the divas match were the worst two, crowd reception wise, of the night.

    7. Punk / Jehrico - GREAT MATCH. Arguably the best of the night, despite what the guy next to me was saying. Definitely my favorite, but I was wearing a Best In The World shirt.

    8. Rock / Cena - More interested in how they build the rest of the year off of this. The match was decent. It was actually better than I was expecting. Rock not being around for so long, I thought for sure he was going to be a mess in the ring, but he did a decent job. I really wish that Cena would have won, especially when he was about to drop the People's Elbow on Rock, but I figure they will have a repeat at next years Mania, with Rock holding the belt and Cena beating him.

  3. Tickets came in the mail Friday. Going to take my 11 year old son to his first live wrestling event, and it will be Wrestlemania.

    Oh yeah.........He has no idea we are going.

    thats amazing. how long has he been watching?

    About a year. I had no idea he would be interested, then one day he gets in a fight with his sister, gets knocked down, jumps up and yells "I'm John Cena!" before pouncing on her.

    We DVR Raw and Smackdown and watch them together the next day after school.

  4. well i still haven't gotten these, i tried to message him again. i didn't even get a response the first time. kinda bummed on this one. one of my fav bands.

    I sent you a response to your first email a week ago, and you responded to that saying you got your shipping notice with tracking number from paypal.
