  solid sub, brother!

  especially from a pile that used to be an "ehhh".

  and i say that w/ all do and the utmost respect! i certainly went digging and did the same thing w/ the recent explosion. it's gonna be absolutely insane once you tally it all up. and this from a pile of "ehhh". some of the best type of subs, imo.

  I have a few things that would be worth getting signed even at that rate but for a common item that is a bit pricey.

  I'm trying to get them down off their $200 high horse on a couple of 85 topps. First they wanted $250/ea on them. Give me a break. The guy that coordinates the signings in the shop (Ron) saw a couple ebay active listings for signed 85's and has his head in the clouds on them.

  Premium items at the signing are $500 for the first and $250 for each additional.

  Agreed, but it's also surprising to see what some of his signed cards have sold for.

  That's fine. They don't have to stick it to folks like that necessarily.

  I believe they charge those prices in part because of them seeing/knowing how much people sell their signed stuff for and expect that once you have the signed item you will sell it as well.

  Sucks if you actually would like an item for yourself so you have to figure out if it's worth it or not. For me I wouldn't pay anything for a Hogan signature only because I was never a fan of his and if I was wanting signed items (and there are some that I would like to obtain) I would rather help out the many other wrestlers who gave their hearts and bodies to the business that so many love and yet get $15 - $20 for their signature.

  Agreed. Maybe he's still trying to make back some of the money he lost in the divorce.

  whatever you do, dont ask willie mays to sign a '51 bowman.

  can get him to sign a cocktail napkin for free (maybe). put a 51 bowman in his face and he'll hit ya w/ "i cant sign that, it's too valuable". then ya say, i dont care. and he'll respond w/ "ok, $2500 then".

  hulk's is worth it and i would appreciate it knowing it up front like that. however willie's tact is disgusting in my eye. he was rude as hell when i was a kid too.

  eta: oh yeah. "cash". im sure he pulled the stunt before and someone canceled the check or something.

  Ron at Hogan's Beach Shop just told me they are moving 85 Topps up to $300/ea that includes a 'picture of hulk holding it'. Frankly I couldn't care less about that. He has signed a ton of these and you can about pick them up on eBay for that price. A little big for their britches.

  Then when you consider how much it would cost to slab it, then it is getting questionable for sure.

  Good for Hogan, not sure why collectors feel entitled to profit off his sig.

  That's fine, I think he's doing a disservice by charging this much. I think a lot of folks would have given him $400 for 10 seconds of his time, but I'm not giving him $700. Lost revenue any way you look at it.

  I doubt he needs the money and he is rightfully sharing in the profits that third parties have made off his sig for years.

  Guys like Bobby Orr figured this out years ago. Ken Dryden won’t even sign because he knows that “collectors” just turn around and sell the signed good.

  I understand the frustration with these prices but It makes sense to me that if cards are up 5-10x it follows that the price to sign would ride the wave.
