I don't really get 8x10's, so I didn't buy any of those - what do you guys do with them? Put them on your wall like tiny posters? Put them in a folder & collect them? At least you can wear a shirt, 8x10's sort of just sit there. Buying merchandise of your favorite performers in any industry, is not always about the products' functionality. Often it's about supporting said performers. 8x10s are a great thing to sell. They're cheap to make, and thus can be sold at a low cost as well. At mostly $5, you're way more likely to get several impulse purchases at a show, because $5 is easier to part on a moments notice, than $20 for a shirt or DVD is.

Everything been put away at the moment, but it's six 8x10s, the poster, and the hoodie for me. You can also add Volume 53, but that was at a previous AAW. I can be claustrophobia at times, so on a couple occasions I had to bail from the tables, and thus I didn't get all I wanted. I wish there was a way to do some kind of preorder. I'm imagining a type of ProWrestlingTees.com, where each wrestler can put all the gimmicks that they'll have available on it, we place our orders, and when we arrive on Saturday, we get an envelope with our purchases. And if I buy six things ahead of time, that'll give me time to buy another six at the shows. For me, it wasn't so much that I was claustrophobic, it was just literally impossible to get to some of the performers due the the crowd and the setup. The only ones I could get to were the couple who setup by the ring. I'm wondering if it isn't possible for more of the performers to setup around the ring, which would then free up space by the tables, making it easier for everyone to get where they need to go (and thus the wrestlers sell more merch).

Yeah, those are the main positives I can see for them. I'm certainly not saying people shouldn't sell them, and I can imagine a lot of the girls who have a full range of merch still make more money from 8x10s than shirts etc, I'm just curious about what people who buy them actually do with them. For the record, if I were to start buying 8x10s I reckon I'd end up wallpapering my room with them - already got a load of tickets and flyers on my door.
