This July 4th is a nationwide treasure hunt! America isn’t just celebrating its 250th birthday. The U.S. Mint has secretly released 250,000 special Semiquincentennial quarters bearing a rare “250” privy mark into general circulation. Unlike most collectibles, these aren’t being sold directly to collectors. They’re being mixed into everyday change, hidden among millions of ordinary quarters passing through banks, cash registers, vending machines, and coin jars across the country. That means the next valuable collectible might be sitting in your pocket right now. For the next few weeks, Americans will be checking their change the same way previous generations searched for silver coins or rare state quarter errors. On a holiday built around independence, there’s something fitting about millions of people hunting for hidden treasures that cost just 25 cents! #usa #america #july4th #coins

7 years ago I invested over $1 million into Pokémon with the deep conviction that the consumer was maturing before our eyes - aging into some very serious collecting. I also believe in 2026 that the upside in vintage (pre 2000) low pop, high grade Pokémon is truly just getting started. As collectors get more sophisticated and delve deeper into the Japanese product and other manufacturers of the 1996-1999 era, there’s a long way from traditional sports trading card values. Thank you Buster for such a great platform and for your belief back in the day! #pokemon #pokemontcg #pokemoncommunity #pikachu #foryoupage

Mayor Bass just attacked Spencer Pratt for “exlpoiting the grief of the People of the Palisades.” Then Karen Bass goes on to gaslight, exploit and lie to the people of the Palisades for a full minute without taking any responsibility… No policy changes that will allow for us to avoid this unnatural disaster in the future. No acceptance of negligence or ineptitude on her team. She just restates the untruths - that this was about the weather, climate change and natural disasters. Every single one of these things have been countered. No critical talk of the lie, the conspiracy or the cover up. The true exploitation is coming from our Mayor and our Governor. Neither of whom have texts or responsive information for the fires. Bass admits to erasing all texts. The LA Times states Bass went on to manipulate the LA Fire After Action report. Just a mess. If you lose, Mayor Bass, it will be because of the continued untruths, lack of policy change to combat future ineptitude and distaste in politicians who don’t take accountability for mistakes made - including fires that start on state grounds due to state policy and aren’t combatted appropriately by city or state.

A new collecting rabbit hole. And a BIG ONE. Graded vinyl. There are two companies in the space - Steve Aoki’s AMG (I’m an investor) and VMG. Both great for music, great for collecting; Both managed by music fanatics, passionate about the genre. I recently picked up some graded Dragon Ball, One Piece and Pokémon. A mix of rarities, limited releases and grails. Let’s talk about this relatively new category! #pokemon #onepiece #dragonball #album #fyp

2 days before the fire Pacific Palisades citizen John Alle expressed grave concern with Mayor Karen Bass. Alle challenged Bass on leaving Los Angeles with known wind conditions after a dry season. Yesterday, after almost 16 months, John Alle bravely stepped into the spotlight. This video captures the recording from 1/4/25 - just 2 days prior to the unnatural disaster Palisades fire that should NEVER have happened. - Bass left with NO Deputy Mayor of Public Safety who had called a b*mb threat to City Hall. - Bass left with a 1/1 fire still smoldering on state grounds above the Palisades due to a protected plant. - Bass left with up to 40% of fire apparatus not available or inoperable. - Bass left her Fire Chief who Bass later fired. - Bass left the Palisades with a reservoir nearly empty and limited water pressure as a result. - LA City predeployed limited fire people the day of the fire. Bass erased all texts despite requests from LA Times. - According to LA Times Bass then conspired to impact the LA Fire After Action Report. As citizens we demand to know what happened. City and State claimed complete immunity and judge denied thank goodness. We want all discovery NOW. 1) Address these allegations. We want to understand fact from fiction. 2) Set policy that doesn’t allow for this to happen to any other community in Los Angeles ever again. 3) Learn from this ineptitude and gross negligence. John Alle, thank you for your bravery and willingness to speak up.

Dear LA Times, it is NOT “safer in Los Angeles than it has been in decades.” That line only works if you ignore the number of people who have simply stopped reporting non-violent crime. When your home is burglarized and it takes an hour or more for police to show up, people stop reporting. When your car is broken into and you know nobody is coming quickly, people stop reporting. When filing an insurance claim might raise your rates or jeopardize your coverage altogether, people stop reporting. So the official numbers may go down, but that does not mean crime went down. It may mean trust went down. It may mean response times went up. It may mean the system trained citizens to absorb the loss quietly. THIS IS NOT SAFETY. This is surrender. In the Pacific Palisades, we had 1 POLICE CAR for 27,000 people because our non-violent crimes were considered secondary... those included forced break-ins. On the day of the fire, we had no police sirens. At 3:30pm driving through the Palisades, we had nobody visibly directing traffic. LA TIMES REPORTING GRADE = F- Sincerely, Jeremy Padawer #losangeles #la #crime #insurance #fyp Spencer Pratt 415FirePhoto Mann Made Cinema Los Angeles Times

In 2003, at 29 years old, I influenced Vince McMahon and team to change the WWE business model - embracing their classic roster in consumer products. That became Classic Superstars. It changed wrestling and toys. It was a mass toy brand primarily focused on the adult collector. Series 1 included Ultimate Warrior and Bret Hart - both were in active or recent lawsuits with the company. The strategy was to purposefully include superstar, main roster and mid-card talent so as to signal to the adult wrestling fan - this is going to be a deep dive, for you the fan. The Attitude Era had ended. Wrestling figures as toys were just no longer working. This strategy, over the next 7 years, would turn WWE into the #1 action figure brand by 2009… and forever cement the adult collector as a critical consumer in mass toy and collectible development. 20 years ago the adult collector was the #4 consumer segment behind pre-school, age 6-11 and age 11-14. Today, it’s the largest single segment in all of toys and collecting. In this rare media clip from Toy Fair 2005, I talk about “20 years from now.” 20 years from now is today. I’m proud of my contributions to this movement - toys as a serious form of collectibles, for adults, and for secondary market value. Thanks to Ringside Collectibles for the footage. And for Matt Cardona Brian Myers and The Major Wrestling Figure Podcast for keeping the history of collecting alive and well.

Mayor Bass, this video is classic Basslighting and a serious admission for our lawsuit. Thank you. Palisades Fire… Bass blames climate change and weather because it serves her political ambitions and to avoid massive city liability. Potholes… Bass blames city infrastructure investment and bad policy because it serves her political ambitions. This is classic Basslighting. Bass erased ALL of her Pacific Palisades fire texts after LA Times requested her to keep them. Bass changed / manipulated the LAFD After Action Report also according to the LA Times and supporting discovery. Bass and Newsom then claimed complete state and city immunity in ANY claims against them. Overruled by court! Bass is literally filling a pothole in this video, yet… When a city burns down and people die, Bass didn’t personally help clear the brush, or fill a cup of water and dump it in the empty reservoir, or fix a fire hydrant. Nor did Bass change policies that would make this fire less likely to occur in the future. The reservoir is still not fixed. The fire department still lacks preparedness and apparatus. The state still has plants > people policy that Bass has never addressed. Bass is still embracing full property tax for toxic standing homes and burned out lots. Bass is still embracing full state and local taxes for those who lost their homes in the rebuild to the tune of $5 BILLION in disaster profiteering revenue for the City and State. Mayor Bass then accused fire victims of “disaster profiteering.” Specifically she said I must be profiteering for paying $40,000 for the They Let Us Burn Rally on the 1 year anniversary. Basslighting. Newsom accused us of being “opportunistic plaintiffs” in this lawsuit against the state (who’s policy / ineptitude burned us down) and city (who’s policy / ineptitude burned us down). Mayor Bass will fill a single pothole because this optically makes her appear to be an active, caring, responsible leader. But when the chips are down. And it really matters, Bass is LITERALLY not there. No reform. No support. No mitigation. No policy changes. Just CYA. Filling a pothole is classic and blaming the city infrastructure / lack of investment is classic Basslighting. Oh, and Mayor Bass - this video is an ADMISSION. Thank you for that. Will come in handy.

Governor Newsom lied at the World Economic Forum. A community burns. Leadership takes no accountability, gaslights, victim blames. Then it’s up to the people. We the people. For those of us with energy and resources, we owe our best effort to help our neighbors. That’s what THIS is. The day after the fire, Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom’s fire-message-shaping campaign was on full blast… claiming the fire was the product of climate change, wind, and then later adding building materials and plant materials too close to homes. Everything to point the finger away from themselves, the city, the state as well as political or financial liability. They didn’t even take an entire 24 hours to diagnose the truth behind the most destructive fire of this generation. Later we uncovered, layer by layer, the truth. Poor decision making. Bad planning. Ineptitude. Gross negligence. Unavailable leadership. Purposeful policy. Those things drove our massive and unnatural disaster. #losangeles #california #fire #fyp #pacificpalisades Spencer Pratt Mann Made Cinema Adam Carolla

Mayor Bass, Governor Newsom, City and State Officials and agencies conspired in a COVER-UP in the Pacific Palisades Fire… to avoid political fallout & massive litigation. Former Fire Chief Rick Crawford confirms a total cover-up in the Palisades Fire after-action review. The LA Times printed as close to a confirmation as possible. Let’s be clear - 1) Mayor Bass erased 100% of her texts for January 2025. 2) Newsome has NO RESPONSIVE Pacific Palisades communication. None. 3) The After Action report was rigged. 4) LADWP changed records and made incorrect public statements about when power lines in the area were de-energized (i.e., shut off). The City of Los Angeles is now suing the State of California. And they called the fire victims “opportunists,” “profiteers,” and “conspiracy theorists.” Newsom. Bass. LAFD. LADWP. Lied. Gaslit. Misdirected. Covered up. Mayor Karen Bass. Obstruction of Justice. Our Mayor erased ALL emails from January 2025. She then changed and withheld details in the LAFD After-Action report (according to the LA Times). Obstruction of justice is a criminal offense that occurs when someone intentionally interferes with the legal process in a way that prevents law enforcement, prosecutors, regulators, or courts from carrying out their duties. In this case, we have a Mayor, elected by the people, with a duty to the people to honestly diagnose what caused a massive human tragedy. A Governor with fire that started on state ground due to bad policy. 12 souls lost their lives in Palisades alone. 6,500 homes burned… thousands more unlivable. 25,000 displaced, economically or emotionally destroyed. We want the texts. We want full discovery in this case. And… we want (at the very least) new leadership. Mayor Bass is running for Mayor again. Governor Newsom is running for President. They accept no fault. They learned nothing. This will happen again. It could happen to YOU. Your town. Your community. This is diabolical.

The Palisades fire destroyed my house, things, and multimillion dollar lifelong collection.. built with passion. Even my banks burned down. 1 vault survived with 10 high value Pokémon, Wrestling, Golf and Basketball cards. I took another 34 cards when I left my house along with celebrity letters I wrote for an unpublished book. I will share insurance tips and show you what survived in the future. These items aren’t for sale. The rare items are subject to valuations that fluctuate. #palisades #palisadesfire #michaeljordan #pokemon #charizard #topps #fanatics #pikachu #collecting #foryourpage #foru #foryoupage #foryou #viralvideos #insurance

Did Mayor Bass finally ADMIT GROSS NEGLIGENCE during the LA Mayoral debate for the Palisades fires? I certainly believe so. I also believe there is NO COINCIDENCE that this admission comes the day after losing the court appeal for immunity. Case closed?! 16 months we’ve been waiting for this unnatural disaster to be publicly called out in a forum. #losangeles #lafires #palisadesfire #lawsuit #fyp 415FirePhoto Spencer Pratt Mann Made Cinema

Gavin Newsom and Mayor Bass has gaslit, misdirected and lied about the root cause of the Palisades fire from day 1. No accountability. No lessons learned. Victim blaming. Day 1. These lies are to avoid state and city liability - and - to perpetuate political strength and careers. Palisades, Altadena, Malibu and the burn area demand truth. Without truth, nothing can be learned. Without accepting accountability, fire victims are forever damaged AND the next fire will occur with no better policy, procedure or protocol. My advocacy isn’t about party politics. This is about politicians from any political stripe doing the right thing in the face of extreme gross negligence. May we all have truth, accountability, peace and happiness for our families.

The City of Los Angeles attempted to charge citizens up to $35,000 for fire hydrants!! Thanks Mayor Bass! These are victims of ineptitude, gross negligence, bad policy of Bass and Newsom. And now, WE are asked to pay FOR NEW HYDRANTS THAT HAD NO WATER. This is what we’re dealing with in the Palisades post-fire. No breaks. This family got a break, but it’s unclear whether this is the policy or whether it’s permanently addressed. Be aware. #losangeles #california #beach #fyp #fire Spencer Pratt Mann Made Cinema Adam Carolla

First Pokémon commercial EVER! Before Pokémon Red and Green officially launched in Japan on February 27, 1996, this was the world’s very first glimpse into what would become the most powerful IP in entertainment history. Airing just ahead of release in early 1996, this commercial captures Pokémon at its purest origin point when everything was still being discovered in real time by audiences and creators alike. What stands out is the sense of possibility. You see early character designs from Ken Sugimori, the foundational storytelling around “Pocket Monsters,” and a concept that feels fresh, imaginative. There’s no global machine yet just a new idea with massive potential, brought to life by Nintendo, Game Freak, and the team that would go on to build something truly generational. NOTE: all credits go to Nintendo, Game Freak, The Pokémon Company and their affiliates. #pokemoncards #pokemon #pokemontcg #japan #tcg

Being angry can be constructive. The lack of transparency in Los Angeles and our state of California set the true fire under my spirit over the last 14 months. Mostly, I couldn’t fathom the lack of leadership literally under fire. Rather than addressing the open issues, our leaders gaslit, misdirected, lied and, as it turns out, conspired to avoid all liability to the city, state and their own political careers. After their immunity push FAILED in the court system, and now that it’s clear that we’ll get complete discovery, I feel a sense of hope and relief. I want young and old people especially - those at the beginning of their lives and those at the end of their earning era - to have support, honest support, at a complete comeback. Thank you all for being there for me, rooting me on, and not overtly judging me - as I fought against Mayor Bass, Governor Newsom and now a complicit LADWP and LAFD leadership (according to the LA Times reporting and on site, first hand communication from LAFD). Our community in Palisades and greater community in Altadena, Malibu and the burn area were left to burn. They let us burn. And now we will learn the entire truth.
