Hogan Auto check

rishgoon · 01-02-2025, 07:18 PM

I picked up this Hogan signed promo photo about 15 or so years ago. I have listed it on eBay yesterday and it was pointed about to me that it may be fake.

Looking at the first H it at least looks different to the majority of his signatures. Searching on Google I have seen a handful of similar sigs, but certainly not as many of his more common auto as we'd see on cards.

Any opinions would be welcome.

That's a tough one. Hogan's auto doesn't seem super consistent but one thing I noticed is it's not like his sig to have neither H touch any of the other letters. It's possible though if he signed hundreds of these that day that he pulled a Tom Brady and did a faster sig or something. May help knowing where you acquired it, no COA?

As a Hogan guy but not owning a ton of his autos but looking them up im in the "it's fishy" category maybe someone who owns some of his autos can help more.

It does not look good. This particular promo photo I have seen signed as "Hulkster" and authenticated by PSA.

Just had an extensive look for the COA but no good. There is enough doubt for me to not want to sell, so have pulled the listing. Thanks for your input mate.

I feel like Hulksters H's are pretty consistent through the years. This one doesn't look good to me. Ya did the right thing pulling the listing.

His sig itself is inconsistent (a friend of mine has ones for the Hulk Hogan, Hulkster, Hollywood Hogan and HH variants) but that doesn't look like any.
