      Considering it’s in the public domain and a paperback, I’m guessing it’s not an expensive book and I’m sure there are plenty of wrestling autograph collectors so, despite Hulk Hogan being a giant piece of shit, it probably gained a massive amount of value.

        Sure, but just because someone will pay $1,000 for Taylor Swift’s shit doesn’t mean it’s valuable.

          Depends on your metric of value. If someone will pay $1,000 for it, it’s worth at least that much to them.

            If I walk into a store and pay them $1,000 for a Snickers bar, I’m not a savvy investor, and that Snickers bar isn’t worth $1,000.

        Hulk Hogan autographed photos and t shirts are $15 -$50 on ebay. Wrestling collectors would probably rather have something wrestling related rather than a book. So not much value.

        Well you could try and sell it to a Republican, but he might get mad if he actually could read out. Something something made the Greeks gay blah blah Achilles “best friend” yada yada

      Depends on whether the Hulkster is claiming to have written it or not, brother

        He did write it, after a bout of inspiration brought on by the first time he power-slammed Andre the Giant. Which just so happened to be in front of a sold out crowd at the Roman Colloseum in 600 CE, because he also invented time travel.
