There's one autograph perhaps at the top of many collectors' want lists for any new WWE signers.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson hasn't signed a certified autograph on a wrestling card since 1998 -- not for Fleer, Topps or Panini America in all those years since, but for the short-lived Comic Images run with the WWE (then WWF) license. In fact, it's been more than a decade since his last signed card of any kind was put into a pack and they're not plentiful -- that means they're all pricey. He's got just four certified autos -- and only one is from a past wrestling set. That one? The 1998 Comic Images DuoCards WWF Superstarz set. The others? Inkworks sets for The Mummy Returns in 2001, The Scorpion King in 2002 and Doom in 2005. That's it -- nothing in the time years since, despite his global box-office dominance and asking prices for these cards.
But there is one -- just one -- new autograph up for grabs that was revealed by WWE just today.
The Rock has signed a WWE Signature Series championship replica and it's on the block via WWE Auctions right now with the net proceeds going from WWE to The V Foundation for Cancer Research, benefiting Connor's Cure. It's signed with his name as well as his ring name on one side and it also has an inscription of "The People's Champ" on the opposite strap.
Fanatics, which is handling WWE's e-commerce efforts as well as its auctions now, also will donate $5,000 directly to The V Foundation.
After just five bids, the belt sits at $2,025 with 18 days remaining in the auction. You can see the latest bidding right here.
