Cool….haven’t seen one of those since I was a kid….it was part of a series if I remember right but no idea now who else was made…..probably something you don’t wanna open these days if you’re a collector

There are some sold ones loose on eBay from 15-25 -- so MOC, this probably would go for higher... www.EBAY LINK NOT ALLOWED/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Wrestling+Superstars+Hulk+Hogan+eraser&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1 |

This is rare. I have seen these before but not one colored like this. Great find . Price wise it would probably get you $150-$200 maybe more.

Same -- and there wasn't too much of it, so these things still stood out. Now it's everything, everywhere.
Remember those awesome WWF school folders? Those were the best!

The erasers line was my favorite along w/the LJNs. Probably moreso because of their scarcity and all the mystery behind them.
Best I can figure, they had releases like this:
1. the flat style prototypes (6 characters, I believe) similar to this, with cartoon art (original Hulk w/"H" on his shirt, etc.). A few sets surfaced a few years ago, flooded the market, hung around forever, they eventually sold to collectors, and now only a couple pop up here and there.
2. the flat style released figures, like this one + the more recognizable Hulk cartoon art
3. the 3D figure-shaped erasers that most folks know and love, if they know anything at all of this line in the first place. Along w/these came the pencils and torso-only 3D figure pencil toppers which also came w/pencils. Hulk, Sheik, and JYD are known to exist in that form. I've seen 1 JYD and 2 Sheiks in 20+ years (and a ton of Hulks, of course).
Price is hard to say, but these have always held a historic range of sub-$50. In most recent years it may very well have inflated up to $100-150+. It's funny how scarcity can increase in just a couple years once a few collectors get the items they want and new collectors come around. Or the opposite, when high-priced items sell to big collectors and leaves the market with much less demand and value drops considerably. Case in point: Wendi Richter & JYD 3D eraser figures. Those went from $600 to $200-300 MOC in a couple years and are waiting to get back up there.

I didn't think straight and overlooked the fact of "Wrestling Superstars" logo & trademark getting used between various companies for various products. I believe this came from the same company that made the notebooks and folders, didn't it? |

This looks like I could have been made by the same company that made car air fresheners |

I was at my buddy’s toyshop the other day and they had a hogan eraser for $70 until a bidding war broke out and it ended selling for $250:
