    It may be the scan, but it looks like the top left corner is touched and the bottom left corner has some type of mark? Possible that the card was kept in one of the old plastic holders that was not recessed?

    If the corners are like they show in the pic, I say 7.

    HOWEVER, I KNOW you would not be sending in a card if that was what the card was really like ... so I'll go with the 'ole "9".

    GOOD LUCK!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Side to side centering looks good, top to bottom centering is about 60/40, left side corners look slightly touched.

    I give it an 8.

    Good Luck Dpeck

    Fantastic eye appeal on this one, dpeck. I really hope you get a favorable grader.

    Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is the yellow fading on the bottom portion of the right border?

    It's very nice. For some reason the upper-left corner concerns me.

    If you ever post a King Kong Bundy guess the grade thread, I'm going with 5 no matter what it looks like.

    Thanks for all of the opinions.

    This is a great looking Hogan. It is very difficult to find the yellow cards from either the 82A or 82B with good lower centering. There are a number of great looking Hogan's that have almost no lower border. I really liked this one because of the centering and overall eye appeal.

    The lower left corner is the issue. It has a slight touch. The top corner just has an issue with the printing and does not have any corner damage. On the right border the printing is a little blotchy but this won't hold it back from a mint grade.

    I think this card is a lock for an 8 or higher. In the PSA grading standards a grader can give a higher grade for eye appeal and this is an example where I think that could come into play.

    If it does indeed get a PSA 8 grade I think this is one of those cases where it would sell at a premium. I could also see this card getting a PSA 9. If there was no issue with the lower left corner this would have been a candidate for a PSA 10 and there are none at this point.

    It is so hard to have all of the issues with some of these cards go your way all at the same time.

    I plan to send this in with my voucher like I said so I will know how it fares shortly.

    In the past year I sold one of my Hogan's to a board member so I needed to add another one to my collection so I could have 15 complete 1982 A sets again.

    WalterSobchak, your King Kong Bundy comment made my day just a little bit better than it was before I read it.

    Hilarious.

    First, thx for selling me a Hogan. It is proudly displayed in my game room :-)

    I thought it was a 7.5 due to the top left corner. It looked dinged to me in the scan. Since you said it is not, I guess an 8-8.5. Could be held back by 2 printing dots on bottom circle & bottom left corner.

    Hookem,

    I am very happy to hear that the Hogan is on display! This is one of those cards you just have to show off!

    The Hulk Hogan Wrestling All Stars card is a classic! Glad I could help out!

  • NHLfightguyNHLfightguy Posts: 525 ✭✭
    Should grade 8-9 nice Hogan. 15 complete sets is pretty impressive for 82A.
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    If it wasn't for the Flair and Hogan I would have 20 something sets. There are a few cards I have a ton of like Bruser Brody where I have 32 singles.

  • MeteoriteGuyMeteoriteGuy Posts: 7,140 ✭✭
    Cant imagine that getting a 9 with the t/b centering....but psa (and bgs) seems to be giving on this set in that regard. This is the only set where most of the graded 9's I have seen are o/c.

    I don't know about the card, but Hulkamania was running wild at Yankee Stadium today. I give this guy a 10 for sure!

    Hi all. First post here.

    I have Series A and B that will be going on ebay soon. I was missing Wahoo McDaniel from series A and Strongbow and Santana from series B. Found them though so those replacements are on their way. The set is if I had to guess EX++ to NR MT. I won't be getting it graded but I think the cards could be sent to PSA.

    Just to give you an idea, I took a couple of quick pics

    The Dusty Pic upper left white spot is just a reflection from my iPhone. That card is MT. I'll scan them once this goes up for sale with better images.

    Hello all,

    I was an avid baseball card collector in the 80's, and today while digging through some of my cards, I stumbled across a complete set (series A and B) of 1982 wrestling all-star cards. I remembered getting these as a kid, but never really thought much about them. After I found them, I googled info on the cards, and obviously, I'm very excited with what I found.

    So my question is this...what is the best approach for selling these? Do I get the big ones (Andre, Hulk, Flair, etc) graded, or do I just try to sell the entire thing raw? On the whole, I'd grade the cards in excellent condition.

    Any advice/suggestions (including who is the best grading service and or potential raw price) would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    If you have a scanner, post some scans of the bigger cards and then your question can more accurately be answered.

  • thebaldenglishteacherthebaldenglishteacher Posts: 2
    No scanner, but I can email you pictures. I just took pictures of Hulk, Andre, Rhodes, and Flair. I can take other if interested.

    Thanks again for any help.

    I'm going raw with mine. Whatever I get, I get. I hate sending cards in to be graded. If someone buys mine and makes some extra cash doing it = good for them! Good luck with your sale as well!

    One card I thought I had tracked down but it fell through: Wahoo McDaniel #22 series A. PM me if anyone has one to sell. Thanks!
