Wrestling Collectors?

That's what I was thinking. That was one I truly sent and forgot.

OMG… Are you guys discussing (and doubting) about the authenticity of recent Hogan’s ttm autographs? REALLY?
Well, I was almost insulted for being the first one to post an opinion… Maybe someone should apologize, huh? :neutral:

Forget for a second about the signature… Hulk Hogan, who has always been known for not sending out authentic autographs ttm, suddenly mails out his autograph + dedication + inscription to everybody???!!!??? OMG: he saw the light! It’s a miracle!
Honestly: does that make sense?
I guess someone is going to receive a (100% authentic, of course…) reply from J.D. Salinger shortly. Yeah: directly from Heaven.

I am in agreement with you on Hogan's Autograph.

I have heard he's not too bad IP, those TTM just sound like miracles. I am thinking totally SEC

PLEASE feel free to comment and let me know yer thoughts.... I appreciate it. - Oh, and please support your argument if you don't think they are real- Don't just say "fake" or "yes, I think real", etc - Thank you.

Hey, Mjr Frank Burns! To me you are probably the most friendly member here, so the following post is for you!

I just found on ebay a book autographed by Hulk Hogan with dedication (RARE!).
Please take a look, guys! I hope you agree that it is authentic.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Hulk-Hogan-autograp ... 1c112ddbcb

The autograph reads “stay strong” but, again, the writing is slightly different from the inscriptions posted here…

Please also take a close look to the signature.
It is a classic Hogan authentic signature: the “o” and “g” in “Hogan” are, well, kind of fused together.
FYI: sometimes the “o” and “g” are not fused together… it usually happens when Hogan autographs particular surfaces like t-shirts or plastic memorabila (just take a look here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Terry-Bollea-Hulk-H ... 4839b3dd19). I also saw some authentic signatures on traditional surfaces where the “o” and “g” are not fused together (like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/WWE-HULK-HOGAN-P-10 ... 563a422045) but – hey! – ALL the ttm autographs here have this particularity… I mean: the exception actually became the rule!
Oh, and – as you can see – the “g” in “strong” is different (Hogan style). Well, actually, every single letter from that autograph is different… What about the “n” of Hogan, for example? What about the "ul" of Hulk?
One more thing: Hogan’s authentic signatures usually have a line (“__”) under the “n” of Hogan (like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/WWE-Hollywood-Hulk- ... 3efe1c7404) FYI: yes, sometimes they don’t – like in my first link! But here we are again: ALL the ttm autographs here don’t have that line… the exception became the rule for the second time!!!

To me, the signatures posted here match the very first one (on a index card) that was received ttm from the Belleair address (I mean: the one I had posted my opinion about…).

It does not matter what the size of the support is: ttm signatures and inscriptions all look somehow “different in style” from his authentic one. So, sorry, but (JUST MY OPINION, ok? ) to me they are fake.

Hulk Hogan started sending out again “secretarial” autographs (he used to send out fake signatures when he was in the WCW... Have you ever received a Hogan fake autograph from Valley Village? I'm sure someone out there received it! ) probably because he is no longer the main name out there… Hey, we suddenly are here talking about the Hulkster again… You got what I mean, guys!
But he is not the kind of guy who will be sitting at home and signing autographs + dedications + inscriptions for everyone. He is very kind IP but, well, ttm the story is different…


I hope you found this post useful!
And, of course, YOU judge if they are authentic or fake!

STAY STRONG, BROTHERS!

There's a thread for this already. Stop your babbling and respect this thread. You're comments are still B.S., the first index was legit and these new ones are off. So don't act like you are somehow owed some praise or apologies. Do the thread a favor and move your blabbering to the thread he asked for opinions in. If you weren't looking for an argument you wouldn't have posted in here.

ODB, Hemme, Val, Victoria, and Nikki all seemed to have stopped. Nikke gave me her address in person to send her some pics and she was going to sign a photo of me w/ her and send some TNA promos; that was 7 months ago. Maybe with the TNA Shop stuff and the signed cards management wants them to stop doing free graps? Just seems odd they were all good TTM now all at the same time they stop?

I can't understand why Eadie, Darsow, Muraco, Jake w/ payment for signature, Heenan, Jimmy Hart, Knobbs, D-Von, Hacksaw, Hurricane Helms, Shannon Moore, Tugboat, or Luna havn't responded. I sent to all over 6 months ago. I saw a Luna and Heenan recently but it was one 1 of each.

My "babbling" (you are always so kind...) was posted for Mjr Frank Burns who asked for detailed comments HERE (page 176: "PLEASE feel free to comment and let me know yer thoughts.... I appreciate it. - Oh, and please support your argument if you don't think they are real- Don't just say "fake" or "yes, I think real", etc - Thank you."). He asked for opinions in different threads, INCLUDING THIS ONE. I'm not looking for an argument.
We know you don't like me: so, please, do the thread a favor and stop insulting me.

P.S. I don't act like I'm somehow owed some praise or apologies.
I just act like I'm somehow owed respect...

I know the autograph I won from the WCW Hogan hotline in 1994 that said "Hulkster" looked exactly like in-persons. TNA shop is selling Hogan autographs for 40 dollars now, which is a bargain considering his auto usually goes for around 100. This of course, is directly from the promotion Hogan is in now.

Hi, Sevb30!
I'm sure your autograph is authentic. Yes, Hogan used to sign as "Hulkster" often (and he still uses that signature now) when he was in the WCW. There was this problem of the rights for the use of the name "Hulk" with Marvel Comics, so he actually used "Hollywood Hogan" and "Hulkster" for his signature.
