- Question: I have this Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage WCW figure HERE MOC. How much is it worth? I can't find it anywhere -- Amazon, EBAY, search engines. Thanks, Chris Sawyer.

Answer: Chris, the figures you’re referring to are a Hulk Hogan/Randy Savage two-pack from the WCW Tag Team Series 3 line of toys by OSFTM. This particular wave of tag team figures was released in 1997, when WCW was still dominating the WWF in the Monday Night War.

These figures were repaints of older Hogan and Savage figures; OSFTM replaced their original bright (mostly yellow and red) attire with NWO black and white. What’s interesting is that OSFTM didn’t bother to change the pictures on the packaging, which clearly show pre-NWO Hogan and Savage in their babyface days.

I get a lot of questions about this particular two-pack. It’s not one that shows up on eBay very often. When it does, a mint-on-card (MOC) two-pack usually sells in the $50-75 range. The figures don’t sell nearly as well loose, because they were also released in other gift sets and aren’t too hard to find. I think part of the appeal for collectors is the mismatch of the NWO figures and the babyfaces pictured on the package.

- Question: I have a card of a WrestleMania 3 Hulk Hogan and Andre Coliseum Video card. How much is it worth? -RowdyCP3

Answer: Funny you should ask. This card was the subject of Card Show #19 in the PWTorch Collectibles Column back on March 18. This was one of eight cards produced to help promote WrestleMania IX in 1993. According to WrestlingTradingCards.com, cards were distributed to video stores and then given free to customers who rented Coliseum Video releases. The cards were given away as uncut sheets of three, with perforation marks to separate the cards.

As far as value goes, it really depends on the condition of the card. If you have a raw, ungraded card, it’s really only worth a couple bucks. If you’re confident in the condition of the card, you can send it in to a professional card grader and hope for the best. If your card receives a gem mint grade (such as a PSA 10 or a BGS 9.5), it will increase the value exponentially. Some PSA 10 copies of this card have sold as high as $60.

- Question: I have just read your article about the WWF (Magazine) trading cards, included with subscription releases, I have a large collection of these cards. I am interested in selling, or any other information you may have about these. I have one set of 9 still uncut. Thanks. - Bob McNeary

Answer: Over the last year or two, interest in these types of cards has grown substantially. Collectors are especially interested in first-time cards (or rookie cards) of guys who went on to become big stars. These cards were inserted into WWF Magazines that were mailed to subscribers. In most cases there were nine perforated cards, but in some cases the magazines came with three traditional cards and one larger card.

Trying to sell an entire collection could be tricky. In one case, a large lot sold on eBay in April for $97.49. A lot of more than 150 cards sold for $54.99 in March. When collectors buy in bulk, they expect to get a deal.

There are some individual cards that would sell higher if you offered them individually. For example, the October 1995 issue of WWF Magazine included the first trading card of Hunter Hearst Helmsley. This card regularly sells for $25-30 ungraded. If you were to have this card professionally graded by PSA or Beckett Grading Services, a grade of near-mint to mint would probably at least triple that value. There’s no telling how high a card with a gem mint grade could go. However, keep in mind that perforated cards rarely get good grades, which is why there are so few on the secondary market.

- Question: I have an Ultimate Warrior figure from the '80s out of box. Could you please tell me if this would be of any value? Thanks. - Gavin Miller

Answer: Since you’re saying this is a 1980s figure, I’m assuming you’re referring to Warrior’s LJN WWF Wrestling Superstars figure from 1989. These are the big, heavy rubber figures that so many collectors love.

Warrior’s figure is one of the most sought after figures in the entire Wrestling Superstars line, which LJN produced from 1985 to 1989. It’s been a hot figure for years, but demand increased even more after Warrior’s death earlier this year.

The value of the figure really depends on the condition. At a bare minimum, loose LJN Warrior figures appear to be selling for about $60 right now. If you have one in excellent condition with no paint wear, you can probably expect somewhere in the $100-$140 range.
