Bummer, mine were all shown or mentioned.

I'm in the process of moving and started packing on Saturday. I came across a still sealed Tilt box set, I have a Howard Lederer dvd lot I got off ebay....there are even more dvds than the one listed on page 1, and while packing books came across Scott Fischmans Online Ace.

The only site swag I got was I wanted a Pstars hat. I got it and it was like the hat the kid in Sandlot wears with the slender design and big ass bill.

There was a holiday where no one knew what to get me, so I got just about every gimmicky poker item....from wsop playing chips to some Poker for Dummies card pack that had opening requirements on each card haha.

Of course they raked the rebuys. They whacked it for 3-6% just like all the other tourneys. Prize pool is prize pool.

I heard from a very reliable source that's why they stopped. And the fact that someone retired in the past few years from running tournaments fits well into that.

I contradicted myself earlier my mistake. Back in binion days when they had rebuys floors just ran around grabbing money and pocketed it often. They didn't rake it back then.

Any of Men's former, or better still, current students here? Would that be like trying to leave a scientology sect? A most tacky and cluttered home, this guy loves his trophies and pictures.

Gobbo right here obv. Wsop lost control of the money. Was impossible to keep track of buyins and floor staff could make thousands just pocketing a few 1k chips.

Its interesting how that was spun to the general public (and me). It makes perfect sense but I never would have thought of that.

If they brought them back they would have to be.....everyone's favorite....re-entries!!!!!

Sooner or later that will happen, IMO. Don't want to derail this spectacular thread though. This thread delivers nostalgia every day!

Bumping this thread to put a call out to all who won a Bodog 2006 WSOP Main Event package. In the Bodog swag bag there was a pair of Oakley Fives 2.0 sunglasses. I LOVED these glasses. Recently I lost the right temple (also called arm) to my pair. Anyone out there with a spare pair or part??? I am going to go ahead and use my 'one time' for this.

I'll bite on the bump This might be worth revisiting.

Mine is an I Knocked Out A Pro Full Tilt tshirt and it was Artie Cobb in a Razz tournament.

Ok,ok it's a stretch calling it a collectible but that's why it's called the worst.

Or old Absolute Poker emails, and one PokerRoom email in early 2000. Collectible emails

I won one of these packages and still have the glasses. Sorry, I love them too and have no parts to spare but a few years ago when I thought I had lost mine, I found some online but that website is down now (www.houseofsunglass.com ).

Here's some on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/i/362428985492?chn=ps

I suppose you've looked online and cant find any originals or knock offs for sell?
