I am sure that DPeck and WrestlingCardKing will weigh in, but that Kajiwara Hogan card from Japan is one of the holy grails of wrestling cards. It is from 1981 (thus predating his Wrestling All Stars card). PSA has only graded four of the Hogan Kajiwara cards to date. It is a 17-card set and PSA has only graded 104 cards total. Andre the Giant also has a cool card in the set that shows him climbing over the top rope to enter the ring.

I was watching the auction on eBay. I thought things might get really crazy in the last two seconds because it is such a rare Hogan card and predates his Wrestling All Stars card. That auction had four bidders over $750 for a raw card, so wrestling collectors knew what they were looking at. The Kajiwara cards were packaged with action figures.

Here are a couple of threads that discuss the set:

Price is surprising. I think it is a play on hoping for a top PSA grade.

The price of the unopened figures has exploded (if you can even find them), and the demand and price of the cards has gone up with them.

Some of the Hulk Hogan packages seem to be missing the Hulk Hogan card, which has most likely helped create demand for the card.

Not meaning to brag, but I once bought an Andre the Giant card from the set for $1, back when there was a lack of info about Japanese wrestling card issues.

That post pretty much sums up the desirability of the Hogan Kajiwara card. When there is a Hogan card that DPeck wants and does not have, it is a desirable card.
