Hulk Hogan's legacy lives on: A look at his most iconic cards and collectibles
News of Hulk Hogan's passing has sent shockwaves through fans and collectors alike as the wrestling world lost one of its most iconic figures today. One of the most recognizable faces in pop culture history and a pioneer in pro-wrestling, Hogan defined an era and has left an irreplaceable impact. Hogan's legacy in the ring is only matched by his lasting presence in the hobby. When it comes to wrestling cards, Hogan's are in the top echelon of sought after memorabilia. Since his arrival in the early 1980s, Hogan has been the wrestling focus of the hobby. While we mourn his passing, we take a look at the cardboard that helped capture his legendary life. From rookie cards never released in the U.S. to modern parallel autos, the Hulkster always commanded the attention of collectors. Here's a breakdown of Hulk Hogan's most iconic and valuable cards, from his earliest appearances to contemporary collectibles: 1982 Westling All Stars #2- The True Rookie If wrestling has an equivalent to the 1952 Mickey Mantle, this is it. Widely regarded as Hogan's true rookie, it's arguably the most legendary wrestling card of all time. Interestingly, no PSA 10 examples are documented, adding to the card's mystique. A PSA 9 recently sold for an astounding $132,000, making it one of the highest-priced wrestling cards ever. (Buy on Ebay.) 1985 Topps WWF- The Mainstream Rookie It makes sense that Hogan would have more than one recognized rookie card. His first appearance in a Topps product symbolizes his transition into a pop-culture phenomenon. The iconic vintage design is unmatched today. Only 15 PSA 10 examples exist, with recent sales ranging from $21,000 to $35,000, securing its status as a premier collectible from the 1980s. (Buy on Ebay.) 1981 Popy (Japan) - 1st-Ever Card For dedicated hobby historians, this is Hogan's earliest printed card, part of the 1981 Popy set released before Hulkamania took hold in the U.S. Its international rarity adds considerable intrigue since it was never officially distributed stateside. A PSA 10 sold for $15,000, and even a PSA 9 fetched a substantial $7,500. (Buy on Ebay.) 2022 Panini Champion Signatures- Parallels Gold /10, Blue /49 True to his fans, Hogan participated in high-end collectible sets long after leaving the ring. These contemporary cards cater to today's collector, with the 2022 Panini Champion Signature Gold parallel fetching $20,000 and the Blue /49 version selling between $1,500 and $2,000. Decades after his wrestling career ended, Hogan still commands attention as the set's most coveted card. (Buy on Ebay.) 2023 Leaf Pro Set Memorabilia Auto – Hulkamania Lives On This is for anyone that wants a more attainable and reasonable Hogan card. The card provides the iconic yellow and red gear that all fans want to see. That along with a great bold signature makes for a nice piece to remember his legacy by. Raw versions of these cards can be found for around $200-$400. (Buy on Ebay.) Why Collecting Hulk Hogan Still Matters Despite Hulk Hogan's passing, his life and legacy will endure. He wasn't just some wrestler card to collect, he was and is THE WRESTLER. His contributions to sports entertainment and his iconic status as a pop-culture figure remain unforgettable. His sports cards not just recognize the great wrestler he was but the phenomenon the Hulk was and forever will be. For many fans mourning the loss of the greatest showman of an era, these cards serve as lasting reminders of a legend whose influence transcends the ring. Do you have any Hulk Hogan memorabilia?

Buffalo Trace Debuts Two New Bourbons In Its William L Weller Range
The new Weller 18 YO from Buffalo Trace Photo, courtesy Buffalo Trace Distillery On the eve of the centenary of William LaRue Weller's birth, Buffalo Trace Distillery has announced two new additions to its Weller lineup: the second edition of Weller Millennium, a blend of vintage wheated bourbons and wheat whiskeys, and Weller 18-Year-Old, now the oldest age-stated expression in the brand's history. Below is a brief background and tasting notes on the two new additions to Buffalo Trace's Weller range. Both bottlings continue the distillery's commitment to wheat-based whiskey. The tradition dates back to 1847 when William Larue Weller chose to use wheat instead of rye in his mash bill. That decision resulted in a smoother, softer whiskey that stood apart from the bolder, spicier styles of the day, heralding the beginning of wheated bourbons. These new expressions build on that legacy, exploring how wheat evolves with extended aging and careful blending. Weller 18-Year-Old marks a milestone as the oldest whiskey to carry the Weller name. Bottled at 90 proof, this ultra-aged wheat whiskey showcases the softer side of extended maturation, highlighting how wheat-based bourbon, when handled carefully, can retain its elegance and sophistication over time. 'This whiskey reflects the patience and precision we apply to every step of the process,' said Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley. 'Wheat can fade with age, but here it has developed into something remarkably nuanced and expressive.' According to Wheatley, the whisky features 'aged fruit and a hint of tobacco' on the nose. The palate offers 'a mix of baking spice and crisp green pear, with a finish that lingers without overwhelming.' Weller 18 is housed in a 700ml crystal decanter, topped with the same hand-etched stopper used in the Millennium release, though without the accompanying display case. It will first appear in select international airport retail shops, including LAX, JFK, and London Heathrow, starting in July 2025. The suggested retail price is $499 for a 700ml bottle. The Weller Millenium #2 Photo, courtesy Buffalo Trace Distillery Following the debut release in May 2024, the second edition of Weller Millennium features a new blend of straight wheated bourbons and wheat whiskeys distilled in 2001, 2003, and 2006. All were produced at Buffalo Trace and set aside specifically for this limited series. The result is a whiskey with depth, character, and a layered complexity that reflects both time and intention. The mash bill for the Weller Millennium #2 is not disclosed. As it's a blend of wheated bourbon and wheated whiskey, it's unlikely to qualify as a bourbon. 'This second release goes even further than the first,' said Andrew Duncan, Global Brand Director. 'By working with barrels from the early 2000s, we're not just blending whiskey—we're revisiting a moment in our history.' According to the distillery, Weller Millennium #2 opens with 'notes of dark cherry, butterscotch, and vanilla, with oak taking the lead on a long, warming finish.' The whiskey is bottled at 99 proof (49.5% ABV). It's presented in a custom crystal decanter etched with Weller's original 'W' mark, accompanied by a lit display case that highlights the whiskey's components and their respective distillation years. Only a limited number of bottles will be available starting July 2025 through Sazerac's domestic and international distribution partners, as well as at the distillery and via Legacy de Forge, Sazerac's direct-to-consumer platform powered by Blockbar. The suggested retail price is $7,500, with local taxes varying. For more information on how to obtain these two new bourbons, see the Buffalo Trace website.
