Description
Population two, only one superior!
1982 Cosmos Hulk Hogan Rookie PSA Mint 9. 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 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 eleven Hogan representations housed in a PSA slab, this is one of two at the Mint 9 level, bested by just a single Gem Mint 10.
