The Hunt for Signed Yokozuna Figures

• 🔍 Upon receiving numerous messages from fans, Myers learned that signed Yokozuna figures were part of the collection, a critical missing piece for his personal goal of obtaining autographed versions of deceased wrestlers.

The Deal and the BSK Crew

• 🤝 Myers successfully acquired two autographed Yokozuna Hasbro figures, describing it as an "epic get" and a "dream come true" for his collection.
• 💥 The figures were noted to have "BSK" written on them, which refers to the crew that hung out with The Undertaker, adding a layer of insider lore.

The Autograph Story

• ✍️ The seller shared that Yokozuna and Kama (Papa Shango) did a signing at a McDonald's in 1995, where Yokozuna reluctantly signed the figures after being prompted by Kama.
• ⚠️ A reluctant Papa Shango autograph on a Papa Shango Hasbro figure was also present at the store, stemming from the same signing event.

Collecting as a Thrill

• 📈 The value of these figures is in the thousands, and Myers expressed the anxiety of transporting such valuable and old items, comparing it to carrying a newborn baby.
