This episode is part 2 of 2 of our interview with Ken Pulvidente of K&S Wrestlefest. If you attended a wrestling con on the East Coast at any point after 2005, there is a virtual certainty you came across Ken in some form or another. In part 2 of this interview, Ken talks about how the COVID-19 pandemic caused him to alter his business model, as he began holding virtual autograph signings on Facebook live and continues to do so to this day.
Ken tells lots of stories about his days booking wrestlers and goes pretty deep into his business philosophy. One story about Sid Eudy (who, incidentally, passed away a few weeks after this was recorded) should not be missed!

In this episode, we discuss our recent private signing with Joe Hendry as well as the Meet and Greet VIP tickets we bought to meet Russell Crowe on the U.S. leg of his music tour.
The big topic this week was Fanatics Fest NYC, and the many ways organizational problems and lack of planning led to fans not having an ideal experience. Specifically, we discuss how poorly thought out ADA accommodations led to many fans abusing the system, issues with overselling nearly all talent at the show, and how logistical problems with the floor plan led to a frustrating experience.
If you have something to say about your experience at Fanatics Fest NYC or any of the topics discussed on the show, feel free to send us an email or leave a comment on YouTube.

This episode contains part 1 of our massive 2-part conversation with Ken Pulvidente of K&S Wrestlefest! Ken made a name for himself promoting wrestling conventions in the Tri-State area in the early 2000’s, and has since converted almost the entirety of his business to conducting virtual signings on Facebook Live!
In part 1 of this interview, we discuss the early days of wrestling conventions, how Ken survived as a promoter when many did not, and and how booking and promoting wrestling talent has changed over the past two decades. We also have a lively discussion about the etiquette of selling the autographs of recently deceased celebrities, which is a hotly debated topic online. You don’t want to miss this one!

In this episode, we discuss our recent experience at Monster Mania Con in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. We also take the topic from last week and flip it, discussing convention etiquette from the perspective of talent/vendors/promoters.
How long should a fan spend at a guest’s table? How many autographs are appropriate to get at once? These are all issues we discuss at length in this episode, same as last, except this time from the perspective of the other side.
Our next episode will feature an interview with Ken Pulvidente, who has run several autograph conventions in the Northeast and more recently has developed a large following running signings on Facebook Live.

In this episode, we discuss the recent cancellation of headliner Antony Starr (Homelander from The Boys) from the Monster Mania con in Cherry Hill. Also, inspired by a Tiktok complaining about long lines at Collect-A-Con in New Jersey, we discuss various aspects of convention etiquette from a fan’s point of view, with the promise to address the promoter/dealer/vendor point of view at a later date.
How long should a fan spend at a guest’s table? How many autographs are appropriate to get at once? These are all issues we discuss at length.

In our second episode of this weekly podcast, we dig into the ever widening gap between the prices charged at autograph conventions and private signings and the secondary market values of those same autographs.
We also talk about how a lot of the market forces affecting the autograph hobby accelerated dramatically during the COVID lock downs of 2020.
Finally, we talk about the rise of alternative retail strategies such as Facebook Live, the WhatNot app, and mystery boxes and their impact on retail autograph prices.
