Wow! Hulk Hogan Showing Up

[wrestlingcardking]

Most of it has been said already in the thread. I own a PSA 8 and it is in my set of 1981 Popys. There is clearly demand for the card as more information about the card is now known. The fact that it is a short print from the set only adds to the intrigue in addition to the fact that you are potentially competing against another market (figure collectors). I would have predicted $1000 before the auction started regardless of the potential grade of the card. There was a part of me that wanted to bid between $800 to $1000 and have Hogan sign the card but i was on work travel and lost track of time with the auction close. While there are plenty of signed 1982 all stars, I think it would be super cool to own a signed Popy card. I do like the fact that a Japanese seller made the sale. I'm sure he will be utilizing all his resources to bring this card again to the market.

It is a mystery why the only figure from the serious that doesn’t have their card on the front of every figure pack is Hogan. His Cosmos card seems to be short printed as well.

Another reason a single will bring strong money is you don’t have to open a mint on the card figure.

The high selling prices of these will drive some into the market place I bet. I hope at least.

It's been a while since a 1982 Cosmos Hogan has shown up

Was he always balding?

Props for adding one of the tough ones, in the package!

Pretty much. He had a touch more hair when he came into wrestling but it didn't take long to fall out.

Congrats!

Are you keeping it sealed, or are you going to remove the cards?

[Dpeck100]

No this baby is staying sealed.

I hope to find a raw copy one day but it is simply too awesome of a piece to open at this point.

I could see this figure commanding 10k with the Hogan card showing in the future.

Congrats on the pickup!

I think I kind of like it with the card in the package. Looks great either way.

[Dpeck100]

Thank you.

This card has a touched upper left corner. Probably an 8. A MOC figure with Hogan card in this condition is better to keep sealed. This is easily one of the best Hogan collectibles that exist and I believe a tremendous long term investment.
