Wrestling Collectors?

CubsFanKEC1982: you are incorrect. Hogan has used a Hulkster signature since WCW. And I am talking about in person, not TTM. That's even how he was signing a lot of items at the Lockdown fanfest last year -- including mine. I have about 5 examples of this variation in my collection

I've never seen a in-person "Hulkster" signature from Hogan. Never. The WCW TTMs were all fakes - even the ones that were full-on Hulk Hogan. They were horrendous fakes. I don't think Brooke had gotten good at forging his signature back then.

As for your "Hulkster" claim, I would love to see proof and I'm not talking about a scan of it. Anybody can produce one of those and claimed Hogan signed it.

I am referring to an actual picture of Hulk Hogan in the act of signing "Hulkster."

I've looked at all 32 in-persons that are accessible to me along with the Hulk Hogans I obtained in person and only one was even sloppy enough to be considered to say "Hulkster".

In reality, it was a partial opening "H" on Hulk, followed by another "H" and the Hogan and that running together did give the mistaken look of "Hulkster" on that piece.

That is what I suspect happened on your items as Hogan's been known to run his sig together or just to initial items at signings.

dude go look on ebay, there's a ton of psa and steiner certified ones.

don't tell me that doesn't say hulkster.

Again, PSA, COA doesn't mean a thing. See no proof other than an eBay listing from the seller and its description that links that piece to Steiner.

Even the COA tag could be reproduced and faked.

If he's signed "Hulkster" as a regular occurrence, it is news to me.

And if someone ultimately proves me wrong, fine.

It won't be the first time, nor will it be the last.

But don't latch onto an eBay listing when we know that place is full of fakes.

This is meant as NO disrespect to Coryj98 - He posted the picture of the chairs he had "signed by all the wrestlers" ... But I had to comment - These are TOTAL fakes!!! I have obtained MANY of these people IN PERSON and have seen enough legit signatures that he has on these chairs ... That ROCK, KANE, and Val Venis ones right away are total bogus signatures - I am friends with Sean (Val) and he has given me multiple things that he signed right in front of my eyes - Rock does NOT sign like that and look at EDGE.... Not even close - Plus, the Dudleys, Road Dog, etc - NO WAY .... The worst on there is BRET HART! Look at all the recent successes from him recently and you just know that is a phony - Somebody tried real hard to make this look good, but to the ones who know their stuff, it didn't pass! ... Now, if CoryJ98 is trying to pull a fast one on us, I call his bluff - If this is a case of Coryj98 believing that he has LEGIT signatures on there, then I feel bad for you ... I hope there are others here that can back me up on this .... With all of our experience in collecting and knowing what is real and not, you should all be able to support my argument - And again, Coryj98, I am NOT saying all this to insult/disrespect you, but rather shed some light on this whole thing.... And that whole "COA" thing is not a valid argument - COA's mean NOTHING!!!! Anyone can make a COA and say what they want on it - Doesn't hold any water ... You DID say you wanted to hear comments about them, so there ya go. Thanks everyone - Happy Collecting!!!

Thanks for your input. I assure you I'm not trying to "pull a fast one" on anybody. I will tell you that after doing some research on my own after reading your post, I am still convinced that the signatures are legitimate. I looked up IP examples on many of these guys and I think they are a good match for the most part, especially considering these items (folding chairs) were likely held up in the air while the wrestlers signed them. I would like to point out this was in the 1999 time-frame and these guys, especially ones with numerous character changes, wouldn't necessarily be signing exactly the same now as they did 12 years ago. I am also a believer that the COA is meaningless, so I can assure you I don't believe this simply because I have a piece of paper. But again, I do thank you for your input and welcome any other comments anyone may have.

regarding this topic. as i have stated on the forum before, I am close friends with Monty Sopp (Billy Gunn). I showed him the picture and asked him if he thought that was his signature and he told me that there is no way that is his writing! So my guess is that there may be one or two real signatures on there and the rest are fake. But as far as i know and was told by Billy himself, that is not his signature so most likely most of the other signatures are not real as well.

No TTMs but today I bought a rack pack (three packs and three xfracters) and an extra pack. Got alot of singles I needed for my set and a blue (#ed to 199) of Goldust. But by far the best pull was aKelly Kelly auto #ed 250 out of 271.

Thanks. That is actually helpful. It is hard to admit when you've been taken, but I'm coming around. I appreciate all of the input from everybody. One thing that bugs me about it though is why didn't they go ahead and forge Stone Cold, who was arguably the biggest WWF star at the time. Seems like they would have gone ahead and put him on there too.

Along with getting the Kelly Kelly auto out of a pack today, I bought a Heath Slater blue parallel (#ed to 199), MVP relic, Big Show relic, The Miz relic, DH Smith relic and Tyson Kidd relic each auction I won for $.99 each !!

First of all.. congrats everyone! We made it to 400 pages! Not an easy thing to do.. especially when it comes to a "fake sport". lol..

Billman - THANKS for those adresses! Seriously!

bravesfan - Those are some sweet pickups and congrats on the Kelly Kelly!

I have bought a ton of stuff recently and when I start receiving, I'll start posting. Here's what I had waiting in the mailbox today when we got home from our weekend trip.

I really like this wrestler, card and.. well.. everything about this deal. lol.. Paid about $8.

Hulk Hogan. He has never. I repeat never signed "Hulkster."

What?
Definitely not true!
Hogan has been signing IP autographs as “Hulkster” for years on pictures, books, shirts, belts and other stuff!
