Six years ago, collectors went nuts for the initial CM Punk \u201cBest in the World\u201d shirts from Money in the Bank in Chicago. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">WrestleMania gets bigger every year, and this year fans who hit Axxess and the WrestleMania superstore found more than just T-shirts and hats. WWE offered fans an exclusive action figure, collectible pins and autographs. In addition, some independent wrestlers who attended other shows in Orlando over the weekend also debuted some new merchandise. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>AJ Styles Mattel Figure<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mattel offered fans a WrestleMania 33 exclusive action figure. The basic figure has Styles in red tights and gloves, along with white, black and red boots. The back of the package has a picture of Styles, a facsimile of his signature and the Smackdown Live logo.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/styles_pin.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-41053 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/styles_pin.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/styles_pin.png 298w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/styles_pin-226x300.png 226w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 140px) 100vw, 140px\" \/><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Collectors have been buying this figure up from eBay, Facebook groups and action figure websites. The typical sale price for one of these figures mint in package is $40-$50, with some signed figures being offered for around $70. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Exclusive WWE Pins and Autographs<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">One of the better looking and more unique items offered by WWE during WrestleMania weekend was a set of nine collectible pins, each of which came with a signed trading card. The wrestlers included in the set are Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Sasha Banks, AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, John Cena, Finn Balor and Becky Lynch, with only 33 of each produced.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/nakamura_pin.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-41054 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/nakamura_pin.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"140\" height=\"190\" \/><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Each mall metal pin is a wrestler\u2019s logo, and comes with a mostly blank trading card that gave each wrestler plenty of room to sign. Most of the autograph\/pin combos are listed on eBay for $90-$100; full sets are being sold for around $650. <\/span><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2987882735\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Unfortunately, as cool as the pins are, what the set really shows is just how awful many of WWE\u2019s current tops stars\u00a0are when it comes to signing. With the exception of Styles, every wrestler featured in the set signed a lazy set of initials (DA, RR, SR) or some sort of illegible slop (Cena, Balor). Collectors familiar with Nakamura\u2019s signature from New Japan Pro Wrestling may be disgusted by his WWE version, which has morphed into a tiny \u201cS\u201d with a circle around it.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/bayley.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-41055 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/bayley.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/bayley.png 299w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/bayley-232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">WWE also offered some cheaper pins that were sold without autographs. The Women\u2019s Division Collection pins feature big-eyed caricatures of some of WWE\u2019s top women\u2019s stars like Bayley, Nikki Bella and Sasha Banks. Most of those are selling for $35-$45 each. The WWE Legends pins feature logos of past stars like Sting, Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior, Roddy Piper and Steve Austin, with most selling for around $25-$35 each. There are also basic logo pins for stars like Nakamura and Ambrose, selling for about $25 each. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Mandy Leon Cards<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Signed kiss cards have been popular since debuting in Fleer WWE products in the early 2000s. TRISTAR made plenty of them from 2009 to 2013 in its TNA products, and Topps produces more kiss cards now than ever.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/mandy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-41056 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/mandy.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/mandy.png 640w, https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/04\/mandy-300x212.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ring of Honor\u2019s Mandy Leon is selling her own signed kiss cards. Each card features a color photo of the \u201cExotic Goddess,\u201d along with a red, pink or black lip print. Basic kiss cards are $20 each, and signed kiss cards are $30.
