Description
1982 Cosmos Hulk Hogan Rookie PSA Gen Mint 10 - Pop One! It was the decade that professional wrestling exploded on the international scene, due in large part to the rapidly expanding fame of this rather imposing gentleman who parodied himself in the movie Rocky III as world heavyweight champion "Thunderlips" the year this card rolled off the Japanese presses. It was in 1982 that Vince McMahon purchased the World Wrestling Federation from his father and handpicked the charismatic Hogan to be the face of the promotion, two decisions which completely transformed the sports/entertainment landscape.Information about the "Cosmos" issue is about as scarce as the cards themselves--just sixty-six from the entire issue appear in the PSA population--but it appears that they were originally issued in cellophane packages of five cards from vending machines. The cards are smaller than most contemporary issues, about the size of a T206 (approximately 2.5x1.5"), with just what we assume to be identifying text on obverse and a blank verso. Of the dozen Hogan representations housed in a PSA slab, heritage Auctions offered one of the two at the Mint 9 level. We noted at the time, "bested by just a single Gem Mint 10." THIS is that PSA Gem Mint 10!
