I am pretty happy with the sub except for the Bruiser Brody obviously. Perhaps it will just go in a JSA holder as I believe it is legit. I've sent in over a hundred of wrestling all stars and the only other occasion that I did not have a card pass was a Destroyer that I had signed at the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame ceremony. Whatever. The JYD is an improvement over the 4 that I had, the Moolah was an improved on the 6 that I had, Dick Murdoch went all the way from Authentic to a 7 on the tough dark blue background, The Crusher went from a 5 to a 6, and the Dick the Bruiser was signed "Bruiser" instead of the other way he signed his name "William Afflis" on other cards. All in all quite good except for the Brody. I had thoughts of having my whole set in PSA DNA slabs, all 36 cards, but now I may have to make other plans for the Brody. Discouraging, but it does not change how I feel about the card itself so that is good.

The CRUSHER

Always nice to see those autos get slabbed. Congrats!

churchiscool

good stuff, how much was the fees for authentication?

wrestlingcardking

I paid $25 per on these as I wanted to upgrade my sets and have my duplicates available for sale..... I have a huge stack of wrestling all stars all signed that I will send on a PSA DNA special of $15 whenever PSA does the red flip again.

Rob sorry to hear the Brody didn't pass. On the bright side those are some very tough auto's and will help you keep advancing your collection.

Perhaps you can do some more research on the Brody signature and try and send it in again with pictures of other examples.

Question, you prefer just authenticating the autograph as opposed to authenticating and grading the autograph?

Sorry, but I love that clip and think of it whenever "the Crusher" is mentioned.

Anyhooo....

Is there any premium if the wrestler signs his real name and then his character's name - Terry Bollea "Hulk Hogan" or Kohsrow Vaziri "The Iron Shiek"? Do the living wrestlers even do this if asked? For some reason, I find the signatures of the characters analogous to an actor signing the character's name, like Sean Connery signing "James Bond" or Mark Hamill signing "Luke Skywalker".

I think this stuff is fairly cool. Thanks for posting.

Not as cool as MOJOROB, the postcard thread (haven't seen that one for awhile) or the hockey card thread but cool nonetheless.

I have went with a nice condition card (authentic card as well) with the PSA/DNA certified auto instead of going with the autograph and the autograph grade...... I'm not a huge fan of just the autograph grade for cards in my collection.....It is tough sometimes though as some cards could grade high but have a terrible autograph with ballpoint, etc and I willing to not sub those if the autograph does not have the eye appeal I am looking for. I am picky about my autograph and sometimes it is a real balancing act when deciding on what type of card to keep or sub.

I do not see this quite the same as you. These wrestlers are not one time characters as they usually adopt a name and stick with it or have a variation of it through most of their careers. Someone can club me over the head and wonder about Cactus Jack, Mankind, and Mick Foley in a following post. I do see the wrestlers more so like actors and their long time stage name than their real name. For example, would you have Tom Cruise signed as "Tom Cruise" or would you ask him to sign "Thomas Mapother"? I would think that most people would go for the "Tom Cruise" autograph just as I would go after "The Iron Sheik" autograph over a Khosrow Vaziri autograph. I know the Navarro has Mr Olympia sign his card with his character name and his real name "jerry Stubbs" below that on one of his all stars, I think that is pretty cool and uncommon in the wrestling autograph world. I recently had Mr Wrestling 2 sign his card "Mr Wrestling 2" and "Johnny Walker" below that. It may get a slight premium over just a Mr Wrestling 2 autograph but it wouldn't be too much more, if any. Thanks for the feedback.

i'm also waiting for them to have a red flip special, $25/pop is not worth it for the $100-$150 cards i have.

wrestlingcardking

I sold my Dick Murdoch for $600 that was just authentic so I had some motivation to get these graded.

I prefer when wrestlers sign both their ring name and real name. I had a private signing with Hulk. He was a cool guy and very accommodating. Overall a great experience.

Share some details from the private signing with Hogan.

KNAPP

Dave, I was able to work a deal with someone who worked behind the scenes at the Toronto Fan Fest over the weekend. After Hogan signed on the show floor, me and my girl went to another room where Hasselhoff aka the Hoff was. We then went to another room where the jockey Ron Turcotte was signing and I set up the items I needed Hulk to sign. He came in had, talked a little, and then signed for me. He didn't rush and was cool about everything. I got 12 Hulk and 7 Bollea autos. He only signed one other Bollea when he was on the show floor. Of course it cost a few bucks, but well worth it. At night I went to see the Hulk - Live and Uncensored show.

That sounds awesome!

Post some more of the scans!

wrestlingcardking

Those are some awesome Hogans and I do like the dual name for both of the cards. The cards look nice too condition wise. Any idea what happened with the black pen and the streaking? Nonetheless, both are awesome. Thanks for sharing!!!

KNAPP

Just dropped off about 40 items at PSA. I'll post scans when I get them back.

KNAPP

Rob, I guess the black marker just wasn't good. I'm going to try to get another 82 signed in black in a few months.

I put the scans from my sub in the first message............

Got a few cards back.
