BGS 9.5 Hulk Hogan



This is going to get wild! This is the first to surface and is from a great seller. I am not going after this one and it is anyone's guess how much it does go for.

    Why isn't the Flair psa 10 going nuts? Is there more 10's out there? Or just the fact that Hogan was in the right place at the right time?

    It has turned out that there are more Flair cards in strong condition. There are three PSA 10 and maybe 9 BGS 9.5.

    The Hogan card is a tougher card to find and much more popular at this point. I would suspect the Flair heats up over the next few days.

    I think people like the PSA graded cards more and they generally sell stronger then the BGS graded examples.

    This Hogan is in the sweet spot as it is a great looking card and there has never been another one surface for sale.

    That's a nice looking card, but it would drive me batty with it being crooked in the holder.

    Wow, I had no idea these were worth this much, CDsNuts has a bunch of these sets in bags, I think they came that way from the factory or something...
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    These came shrink wrapped from the factory and many have corner damage becuase of it. So no they did not come in bags like the Star basketball cards did.

    The last sealed 1982 A that sold on EBAY went for $1,461 so if there are a lot of them out there they would have shown up by now with a sale price like that.


    The yellow cards which include Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan and Mil Mascaras are three of the toughest cards to find in high grade. The same holds true for the 1982 B set with Rick Martel, Tony Garea, and Bob Roop.

    Here is what the Martel card looks like. This is my PSA 9 and it is definately one of my favorite cards. It is a pop 1 right now and that may change a little but not much and you won't see a PSA 10 ever.

    oh yeah that was it, i couldn't remember he sent me scans a few weeks ago asking if I was interested...

    You can still find the 83 Wrestling All Stars from time to time sealed. It is a much less expensive set. The top card is Superstar Graham. It is very cool set too but has a lot of jobbers in it many have never heard of.

    The 82A is by far the set with the most star power and the 82B with Rick Martel on top is the hardest to find and the most condition sensitive.

    Does any one know when Sting got his first cardboard? Was it the 1991 impel WCW?

    1988 Wonderama. It is a big set that you can find farely cheap.


    1988 Wonderama Set


    I have purchased a few from this seller. They come in great condition and there is only 500 factory sets. It was put out at the tale end of the NWA under Jim Crocket Promotions. It has many stars in it and Sting's rookie card. It is not very sought after and it is a great value for $40 delivered.

    Hard to believe there are only 500 sets produced and they sell for $40.00. How many of the '82 sets were produced?

    I like the 82A set as well, and far and away the most popular of the three. I have 32 of the 36 cards signed right now.

    The Hogan BGS 9.5 will be very fun to watch to see where it will end. I would love to see the signed PSA/DNA Hogan that is a 9 make it's way on the marketplace.

    The Wonderama cards came in packs as well so you could hand create a set. The publisher created 500 sets (so they say) with the error cards. There is really not a lot of star power in the set and the cards are not really that exciting. Here is an example of my PSA 9 Ric Flair.

    What makes the Wrestling All Stars so appealing is they were mail order only and no packs were ever sold. In early 1982 the Wrestling business was really not that hot and card collecting was not any where near as big. The packaging of the cards really impacted the condition. No one really knows what the true print run was but is definately less then 2000. Some have speculated it is 100 sets but I don't believe that as I have 21 Andre The Giant cards and I highly doubt I have 21% of them. The star power and overall appeal of the cards is miles apart.

    The Wonderama cards used to sell for $150 but this seller has been selling a good number of factory sets and has really taken down the price. I think the fact that the Wrestling All Stars are all biographical portraits and there are only 36 cards helps as well. The Wonderama set is loaded with bums and the card stock is not very nice and neither are the photos. The NWA was really falling apart at the time and the quality of the production is just not that great.

    King,

    There is no telling what the PSA 9 auto of Hogan would sell for. That would comand huge money especially if the auto is nicely done on the card.

    How the heck did the Hulk card get a 9.5 for centering, the top/bottom centering looks way off....almost miscut on the bottom.

    No. Look at the top too. It's some kind of reflection of the sleeve inside the slab.
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    There is nothing wrong with the slab at all.

    Beckett grades these different for top to bottom centering then PSA. The yellow cards you will never find with as good of centering as the blue cards that is why there are more Ric Flair cards and Iron Sheik cards in high grade.

    Trust me when I say this is a really nice card. The colors are super vibrant, razor sharp corners, no print dot next to the head, and great side to side centering.


    This will end up the hands of a non traditional wrestling collector is my bet.
