FAQs
where do the items come from?
Unlike mass-market memorabilia dealers, our collection comes directly from the source. Every item at Forbidden Door Collectibles is acquired through Shawn's extensive professional network built over decades as a ring announcer, voice artist, and industry insider. We don't deal in mystery merchandise – each piece is authenticated through personal connections or other verifiable means. When you buy from us, you're getting legitimacy that big-box collectors' sites simply can't offer.
can i sell my items here?
Hell yes. We built this place for collectors, by collectors. Just reach out, and we'll discuss what you have in your collection. No automated responses, no corporate bullshit – just straight talk about your items and their value. And here's where we're different: we don't take a percentage off the sale like those other guys. From a collector for collectors; we do it differently.
how do you authenticate items?
Authentication is everything in this game. Our process combines Shawn's direct industry relationships and documented provenance. Many of our items come with photographic evidence of acquisition, or direct verification from the source. We stand behind every piece we sell because we know exactly where it came from.
what do you specialize in?
We focus on three primary realms: professional wrestling, horror, and entertainment memorabilia. This includes ring-worn or stage worn gear, screen-used props, autographed items, limited edition releases, promotional materials, and one-of-a-kind rarities that never made it to mass production. If it has cultural significance in these spaces, it's in our wheelhouse.
HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET NEW INVENTORY?
Our inventory updates regularly through our industry connections. However, we're not about quantity – we're about quality. We don't list items just to have a packed store. Each piece meets our standards for authenticity, condition, and significance. Sign up for our newsletter to get first dibs when new collections drop.
WHAT IF I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SPECIFIC?
If you're hunting for that white whale collectible, let us know. With Shawn's connections throughout the wrestling, horror, and entertainment worlds, we often can track down items that seem impossible to find. No guarantees, but we've made more than a few collector dreams come true.
