I don't know how I've been on this board forever and completely missed this thread, lol. Anyone have any signed Hasbros available by any chance? I'm hard on the hunt, lol.
I'll post some pics tomorrow of some of my favorites in my collection!

With you getting so many holy grails, I'm sure there's still so much more you'd like to get. I'm curious if there is a wrestler's autograph that either doesn't exist or is very rare. I don't classify Andre in that category necessarily because I saw videos of him signing scrap paper for kids post match, he did a WWF sponsored signing or two for big wigs (one I think in 1987 and the Toy Fair 91). The material exists, it's just the stuff will never see the light of day by being sold. Is there a wrestler or personality that always refused to sign? Or someone who was around before autographs were really a thing. Obviously people would have signed checks, letters, documents but maybe didn't sign for fans. Even guys who pulled the heel gimmick and refused to sign would have signed at some point, probably done a signing or a meet and greet somewhere and lots of material exists. But is there a guy where close to nothing given to a fan exists? This may not fit the criteria but I was helping someone out a few months ago on a display piece that he was working on. He wasn't sure how he was going to display it but he wanted every NWA World Champion up until 84 when the title was pretty much JCP. We tried to get any paper or index cards that were signed. The only guy we never found to purchase anything of was Orville Brown. If I'm not mistaken he ended up finding a program that was signed by Brown in a private collection but the person wasn't going to give it up. Someone posted an autograph book in one of the facebook groups and it was signed by tons of WWF talent from the mid 80's. It had Adrian Adonis who is my personal grail. |

I wonder how many scraps of paper those guys signed have made their way into landfills. Adrian looks like "Adan Action" and Andre is more recognizable but if a non wrestling fans happened upon that, not sure if it would be saved if on a piece of paper. Obviously it's an awesome signed program and obviously these guys were probably in a hurry and maybe signing lots but if autos were on scraps of paper and autos are unrecognizable, they might be thrown away. I'm thinking there's a lot less Adrian material signed than Andre. I think he was a career heel and died almost 5 years before Andre. Also never did any organized signings or at least I doubt he did. Andre at least did the Toy Fair in 91 and another event in early 87, it may be on the Obscure thread.
Does anyone remember the kids rushing the ring to get him to sign scraps of paper? I think this was shown on a Coliseum Video and maybe the 2004 DVD WWE did.

I saw a YouTube video of a kid giving a picture to Gino Hernandez to sign & Gino (ever the heel) flung it like a frisbee. |
