    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.
