11-27-2007 TUES AFTERNOON
Dear Fans,
Hello .... I have been collecting Autographs since 1959 ...... I started right after Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens died ... along with Roger Peterson the Pilot.
OK, an autograph of Hulk Hogan. Early signatures of him signed with "different names" he used --- don't pull in alot but are very collectiable .. meaning people like myself collect all variations of someone's signature.
With celebrities now charging and/or getting paid/or having agents - Hogan's autograph has gone up.
His gladly signed for me and my son while Wrestling here in San Diego.
In the mid 1980's a 3x5 card (most common way to collect: signatures) - would go for $10.00 to $35.00. It depended on how long you had to wait.
Hogan has always been what collector's refer to as: "a good signer." He is very nice and always wants to please. Now that he has an agent for "signing purposes" - his signed photos are going for about $150-$175.
That comes with a COA and a picture of him signing the item. However,
Hulk Hogan ... I still believe would sign for free for anyone if they catch him at an event and are polite. Three things to remember when collecting:
(1) Never bother ANY celebrity when they are sitting down to eat with
their family or friends.
(2) Never go to their homes - EVER.
(3) Never ask for more than two items to be signed.
Hulk Hogan's signature has changed somewhat through the years - WHY ?
If you signed your name 10,000+ times a MONTH - yours would change to.
Thus, my early autograph of Hulk Hogan, Rowdy Roddy Piper and Randy "Macho Man" Savage - are nicer and clearer than the ones they would sign
today.
A final thought, Hulk Hogan I understand was served with divorce papers.
Thus, his life has been turned upside down. Plus, his son was in a car accident recently and made it thru OK - but the passenger isn't doing well. When it comes to his family - from what little I know and have seen - his family means everything to him ... so I can only imagine what he and his family are going through. Remember this, there are moments when "we collectors" need to NOT ask for an autograph - but rather wish them well and shake their hand .. and let them go on their way.
One of the things Hulk Hogan use to say when being interviewed by the famous "Mean Gene" Okerland - way back in the late 80's-mid 90's ...... "say your prayers, etc." If you are a true fan I strongly suggest that you do just that - pray for the entire family and also his son's friend who is is critical injured in the hospital.

Yours,
Dean C.
PS: I collect autographs of all sports - mostly on 3x5's cards ....... **NOTE ADDED SEPT 08** As well Hogan now does signings and a personal video message sent to YOU at www.liveautographs.com He will say whatever you like and the pieces are very nice ranging from 149 to 500. The bonus is you see him sign your piece and get a video of the signing as well as the personal message on a DVD at the end to insure 100% authenticity. AND! they gave me this code: CH77 to get 10% off. www.liveautographs.com is the site. check it out.
Well he hasn't a hit in a while so not a lot right now but just hold onto it until he has a "comeback" album and then it should be worth around $200 depending on if it get's any singles but keep it in good condition no lamination though.
It's 20,000 dollars.
that is one of them on ebay.
It really depends on what it is written on. A napkin with his signature on it is worth way less than a microphone or guitar with his signature on it is worth.
really valuable i have not seen a certified pac auto yet but upperdeck has a 1/1 coming out we will see what it worth
couple grand......or whatever you can sucker someone in to
i would pay $100 dollars for it.
What is the value of a Margret Mitchel autograph on a land deed/
The value of a James Bond actors autograph varies depending on the actor, the signature, the picture and the condition of the autograph.
No. A stamped autograph is not an autograph. It has zero value.
What is a Louis Armstong autograph worth
Well I paid £45 pounds for an autograph
The value of a Vince Lombardi autograph would actually be dependent upon a number of factors. Some of these factors would include the authenticity and condition of the autograph.
The value of the autograph will depend upon what the autograph is in. It if is on a photo, it will be worth around $150.
The Jersey is 343.99 The Helmet is 823.99 The Framed Autograph 723.99
$550
a penny
20,000.
It depends...
