    Love Orange Cassidy, he's basically just making a mockery of the entire concept of kayfabe every time he sets foot in the ring. God bless 'em.

     

    His gimmick is great. I also loved him in The Colony in Chikara where he played an ant.

    Protos definitely have the rarity, but will a market develop?   A significant market hasn't really developed for ashcans.

    I tend to like rare and / or development material and so I did consider protos at one point but I kept coming back to this:

    They look like shit.    The aesthetics are terrible.    They don't look like something I'd want to spend that extra zero on.  

    Fans of protos also will speak to their historical significance, and there is some for sure, but oftentimes all that *american* protos boil down to is a translation / localization.    Tough for me to get too hard about having the original code for where somebody translated the japanese into "the truck have started to move" or whatever.

    Now, some people love them and I get that and no dis whatsoever to fans of them.    But the aesthetics is probably a sticking point to big prices, IMO, at least to the sealed game crowd / new comic money crowd.

    The guys that are into NWCs and whatnot, if they get more into protos, then maybe they do up because they don't care about aesthetics, but those are the guys already buying them for the most part, so I don't see where the increase comes from, and I don't see protos  as friendly to the new wave that is interested in aesthetics.

    What about proto boxes? The poor man's original art. 😎
