FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How much is a TABC Championship Belt and what do I get?
A: $150 usd is the base price for all of my finished belts, in any combination, with the wording and logos that represent your organization. Ad-ons, or, extras, if you will, will ad to this total.
Q: How long does it take to receive my Belt once I have placed my order? A: Depending on the volume of orders already in and ahead of yours, it could take a couple of weeks. But even when I have a fairly high volume of orders, I am still usually able to get them done in a relatively short period of time. Just how that kind of stuff works when you have been doing it for over 2 decades. Q: Can you do a design that I come up with? A: Absolutely Yes, please forward your art work for what you are wanting to me, and I am thrilled to give you a quote. If you can provide the actual art for the plate, there would be no layout fee at all. I will say more about this in the ORDER tab, and explain it a little better there. Q: How does TABC stack up against the competition? A: TABC has always, and always will, just do our thing. Typically, I do not compare what I do to the work of others. And given the amount of belts I have sold and created in the past 26 years, I think I might have always been on to something. Q: Can we work out some sort of a trade? I have some WWE Replicas and was wondering if I could send that in and get one of yours. A: Thank you, but, I honestly would not have any use for any replica. That’s just, not what we do here at TABC. Q: What kind of special deals do you offer? A: Typically, I always offer a discount on orders of 3 or more belts being ordered at the same time. Let me know what you need and we will talk. Tag belt sets could also see a small discount. Q: Can you make a replica of the Big Gold Belt, or some other belt used by major organizations? A: I can not. I do not have the legal right to do so. I understand there are plenty of folks out there with no integrity and are very happy to reproduce these belts without paying a licensing agreement and steal the intellectual property of better Men. I call these belts: CRAPIONSHIP BELTS. I happen to honor those great artists that have come before me and I will not now, nor will I ever, steal their property. This is simply something I will not do. And, I have never needed to. All of the designs you see on this website, all where designed and created by me. And all of them, have sold like hotcakes over the past 20+ years. I'd be embarrassed if the only thing I could sell is some replica I did not create nor do I have a license to reproduce. Shameful. Q: What about your straps themselves? Are they real leather or vinyl? A: Actual Raw hide is available via the ad-ons page for the time being. Currently, we are using a slightly different variant of leather than actual raw hide (Elephant Skin) on all of our belts. Rawhide ads a lot to the final price, so what I try to do here is put together the finest quality I can muster while also trying to give you the best price I can. So, yes, rawhide straps are available on the extras page. Q: I want to build belts to, and am wondering if you will just tell me how you build yours, so I can build mine the same way? A: lol, no. 26 years of R and D. Yea, that ain’t gonna be given away for free. And yes, I have actually been asked this question, several times over the past 26 years. Q: I have a custom LOGO for my organization. Can my logo be added to my belt plates? A: Absolutely, yes. I will just need you to forward me a jpeg version of the art at 300 dpi for best quality. Q: OK, I want to order. What do I do? What is the process? A: Check the ORDER MY BELT button. I will have a comprehensive explanation as well as various option buttons to get you going.
Q: What exactly does T.A.B.C. stand for?
A: The Alternative Belt Choice. I adopted this name immediately back in 1999 for the AOL hotdog website my Brother threw together in a few minutes. The name was a reference to how things where, at that time. Backyard wrestling was seriously popular, but those folks had no option at all for a Championship Belt. TABC's original purpose was to service those guys. TABC would grow and move beyond that one market in just a short few years, but, the name TABC, was now our brand and it was fairly widely known.
Q: What does "CRAPIONSHIP BELT, mean?
A: Crapionship Belts, as a term, typically refers to a Championship Belt that is a deign that is made by an individual who has no legal right to build that design. It refers to Intellectual Property theft of someone else's designs that another individual basically just steals and puts all the money in their pocket. A prime example of this are the Crapionship Replica Belts (such as the big gold, which you see left right and center from these criminals) being produced overseas in sweet shops in China and Pakistan. These are fake, cheap, knock offs that absolutely SHOULD NOT exist. We can all only hope that eventually, INTERPOL catches up with these criminals who claim to be belt makers.
