What's Buzz-worthy: This may or may not be some déjà vu -- that perhaps depends on if you're a regular reader -- but this mystery box was an absolute clone of my last one. It happens. In this case, it wasn't a bad thing as some of the names here were good finds for a mystery box on the cheap ... in fact, after they were unavailable for a time, I actually bit on some more when they were recently back and on sale as part of this past weekend's sales. Here are my thoughts from last time ... this was an easy mystery box to pick off twice for its price -- just $10 apiece, meaning just $2 per photo -- and they come from Pro Wrestling Tees, a Chicago based super-seller of pretty much wrestling merch except for active WWE names (but with plenty of former ones who own their own rights or now work elsewhere). These autos are leftover stock from past All Elite Crates (AEW's official merch crate) or from PWT subscription crates, which regularly provide fans with a box of stuff for a lower, flat-rate price where wrestlers sign on to ink some stuff for collectors. (Here's footage of Hartwell signing her batch of these, for example.) ... Years ago, I bit on Loot Crate's WWE Slam Crate (see breakdowns here) but ultimately I don't like wearing branded shirts -- I just wanted the occasional collectibles-style item (toys, flats, autographs) -- so these were an easy grab and ones that I actually had eyed for some time but never bit. This lineup was pretty strong with a mix of younger and upper-tier names for mostly AEW and then a couple of veterans who have time in NXT and WWE but are now working in TNA and elsewhere. This was a strong box for the price for sure and ultimately all of them could/should sell for more than $10 on their own ... so it was a win.
