A killer trip back more than three decades in time to when Hulk Hogan and his opponents were wowing and exciting wrestling fans is offered here, with the Hulkster’s first appearances on Topps trading cards coming in 1985. Hogan is featured on six cards in the near set (61/66) available, with the most important/valuable being cards #1 and 16. The former (EX) has a couple of corner dings while the latter comes in at NM-MT (OC)). Among the 92 extras, there is duplication and that’s a good thing since two additional #16 Hogan cards are present, both of them also with less-than-perfect centering and EX-MT+ and NM+ respectively. Hulk is also pictured on #s 56 and 60 in the stack of dupes. Both stacks are comprised of mostly NM-or-better cards, with plenty of NM-MT, NM-MT+ and MINT cards to zero-in on. Two Hulk stickers (#1 NM, #9 NM-MT) headline a group of 15, with 21-Andre the Giant and one double (8-Ivan Putski) also noteworthy and condition NM-or-better. Rowdy Roddy Piper, Junk Yark Dog, The Iron Sheik, George “The Animal” Steele, Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka, Captain Lou Albano and other memorable mat stars of the day will have you fondly reminiscing. Numerous possibilities/options will have you pleased to have clicked, clicked or tapped, tapped and put a stranglehold(!) on these cool collectibles.
*Cards required to complete the set are #s 29, 45, 46, 50 and 64.
