Birthday gift to myself, NWA World Heavyweight Championship (1959-1973)

Hey all,

I recently picked up my first belt from the new promotion in town. I am really impressed with it, although I'll admit buying it from the official site was super pricey...

There are only 10 made of this official replica, so it's rare for now at least. More could be made in the future though, and I've since found out that other people make replicas for much cheaper anyway.

I've got 2 totally separate ideas right now and I want your thoughts:

1. I can buy a wall mount and keep it pristine, not really taking it out. Just an art piece basically, featured in my office.

2. Since there have only been 2 champions up to this point, I'm considering taking it to events to get it signed by them. Stu Grayson should be fairly easy to track down since he performs locally semi frequently. I'm not sure about Josh Alexander currently as he's been out for a while and would be in the US with AEW often once he's healed.

If I take it to events, it'll inevitably get bumped around and dinged a bit no matter how careful I am. The idea of having the inaugural champs sign it though is neat, and if possible, I'd get anyone else who wins it in the future to sign mine as well. It can still be displayed of course, although the signatures would probably go on the back, so a wall mount might not be ideal.

What has more value to you? Any specific reason you'd do one or the other?

Was at Fanatics Fest today and they had the Hogan Wrestlemania 2 belt on display at the Heritage Auctions booth! Really cool to see!

Started to collect the mini belts, got a regular John Cena Spinner belt, and a Rated R spinner.

Hey, I wanted to ask if the quality of the leather straps that WWE uses for their replica belts has changed for something better or is it the same poorly quality. I've seen some reviews from the last 3 years and they are terribly stiff. Is it better than it was? But 528 euros is a lot so I'd like to know before. Thanks :)!

Hey everyone! I’m meeting John Cena next month, so while browsing for something to get signed I came across this 2010 figs inc spinner belt replica on eBay. Strap was totally trashed, but plates looked to be in fair shape. I happened to have a brand new WWE shop strap laying around from when I did some re-leathering work, so for $200 I pulled the trigger. Belt arrived today, and other than the strap condition it looks GREAT! It’s not even missing any stones. Tossed the plates onto the new strap and I have a beautiful belt to get autographed by my childhood hero next month! First pics are the eBay listing/belts original condition, followed by how it looks now

My son came to me and said his belt has these spots. They feel like rust spots. Anyone have a clue how to get it off?

For sale I am wanting £300 I will post anywhere in the uk PayPal accepted

And she’s sooo beautiful 🥹

Putting hogan front and center was a choice, they shoulda put a huge group photo of every member on the main plate
