The Day Scott Hall Dies …
We all know the day is coming. It’s no secret that you are heading for impending doom when the ridiculous and overly dramatic E60 does a feature about your life or what’s left of it. Yes, Scott Hall is living the life of ‘The Wrestler’, thanks ESPN for making the obvious, well, obvious.
Scott Hall, once a star in the world of wrestling, is now 53 years old. In washed-up, drug-addicted wrestling lifestyle years that’s 92. He’s going to get his WWE Raw tribute any day now and when that day comes, collectors and fans will have just ONE certified autograph of Hall on cardboard.
The set is 1998′s WCW/NWO one autograph per box product from Topps which features the greatest line-up of wrestling on-card autographs the hobby world has even seen. Don’t believe me? Take a look at just some of the amazing cards in this set.
As for the card below, featuring Scott Hall’s on-card signature, it’s not an easy pull. The only one that has appeared on eBay recently sold for nearly $150 dollars so one can only imagine how high the card will reach if and when Scott Hall succumbs to those demons that have been chasing him.

Interesting product that has managed to slip under the radar. Was the 1 auto per box in both Hobby and Retail or just Hobby?

I used to know this stuff like the back of my hand but I don’t recall. I am pretty certain it was one auto per box. Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Hogan, Savage, everyone was in that product!

You should note that Scott Hall was in the 1999 Topps WCW Nitro product. There are a few over 100 autos throughout the entire run but are from 3 different products. The 98 product had Hogan, Jericho, Benoit, Guerrero. What is strange is that I can still buy this card for about $60 from collectors not on ebay. It has never been one to reach over $100 until the last few months. I have owned 4 of them in the past year and none cost me over $75. It will be a very valuable card once he passes for sure but it is definitely not rare. Each of the wrestlers through the set, except for a handful, signed 1000 or more cards each.
