Step inside the vault as we unpack decades of sports history,
2
00:00:09.980 --> 00:00:13.490
one piece of memorabilia at a time. You're listening to
3
00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:14.769
From the Collection.
4
00:00:16.289 --> 00:00:20.089
Welcome to another edition of From the Collection, and today
5
00:00:20.989 --> 00:00:28.030
it's Hulkamania. It's a 1990 classic WWF card, card number 90,
6
00:00:28.030 --> 00:00:32.009
with Hulk Hogan on the front, front and center. He's
7
00:00:32.070 --> 00:00:36.609
shown in a wrestling ring, and he's got his, once
8
00:00:36.689 --> 00:00:40.390
upon a time, signature yellow and gold on, the gold trunks,
9
00:00:40.490 --> 00:00:43.810
the yellow Hulkamania shirt, and he's in the middle of
10
00:00:43.939 --> 00:00:46.200
tearing it off, as he used to do in his
11
00:00:46.259 --> 00:00:51.140
signature move. The card is in, I would say, very
12
00:00:51.219 --> 00:00:54.640
good shape, maybe a little more than that. It's raw,
13
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.810
it's ungraded, but it's in really good shape. It's got
14
00:00:57.850 --> 00:01:01.969
pretty sharp corners. The coloring is pretty good. The centering
15
00:01:02.170 --> 00:01:06.310
isn't too bad. And as mentioned, this is a 1990
16
00:01:06.310 --> 00:01:11.019
classic WWF card number 90. And what kind of makes
17
00:01:11.060 --> 00:01:16.640
this one special isn't the rareness of it. It's the
18
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:23.170
recognition of Hulkamania. Everything about Hulkamania is on this card.
19
00:01:23.939 --> 00:01:26.379
And if you remember that era, you'd look at this
20
00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:28.140
card and it would take you back right away. And
21
00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:31.340
even if you weren't around or weren't born during that
22
00:01:31.379 --> 00:01:36.569
Hulkamania era, there's been enough about Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania
23
00:01:37.150 --> 00:01:40.849
and everything surrounding what he did for professional wrestling that
24
00:01:41.530 --> 00:01:43.170
I think you would look at this card and go,
25
00:01:43.290 --> 00:01:46.230
oh yeah, that takes me back. Or yeah, that's familiar.
26
00:01:46.930 --> 00:01:51.099
The yellow gear, the shirt rip, the packed arena. and
27
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.969
the larger-than-life Hulk Hogan presentation that helped define that whole
28
00:01:56.109 --> 00:02:03.170
era of the WWF before it became WWE. The back
29
00:02:03.209 --> 00:02:07.510
of the card highlights the atomic leg drop, his WrestleMania moments,
30
00:02:08.409 --> 00:02:11.030
and his crossover movie. Do you remember this one? No
31
00:02:11.129 --> 00:02:14.060
Holds Barred. You can Google that one or search it up.
32
00:02:15.009 --> 00:02:18.939
For wrestling fans, this isn't just a trading card. It's
33
00:02:18.979 --> 00:02:22.099
kind of a snapshot of professional wrestling at the height
34
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:27.860
of its popularity. Back when one performer became really synonymous
35
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:33.250
with the entire industry, and that was Hulk Hogan. Hulkamania.
36
00:02:34.150 --> 00:02:42.409
The classic set, 1990, card number 90. Hulk Hogan. Hulkamania.
37
00:02:43.469 --> 00:02:45.879
Hope you enjoyed this one. I'll be back again soon
38
00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:48.800
