David, what is the background or details of the Marusho card? I am not familiar with that Hogan card. How does the value and rarity compare to the Popy card?

Here is the info on the Marusho set. A great thread from CU introducing them and tracking them.

I don't believe a complete checklist exists and PSA at this time doesn't grade them. It is a mini card like the Yamakatsu's and smaller than the Popy. I would say generally speaking the card is going to be less valuable than the Popy but is still really cool. This copy has a dinged upper left corner and now a little bit soft right corner from the water. They are by no means easy to find and little is known about them so going forward if one surfaces on EBAY it certainly could do well. If PSA grades them at some point then the price will move up significantly. As I stated Hulk had never seen one so it certainly is extremely rare.
