Does this make the value of the book go up or down?

Considering it's in the public domain and a paperback, I'm guessing it's not an expensive book and I'm sure there are plenty of wrestling autograph collectors so, despite Hulk Hogan being a giant piece of shit, it probably gained a massive amount of value.
Hulk Hogan autographed photos and t shirts are $15 -$50 on ebay. Wrestling collectors would probably rather have something wrestling related rather than a book. So not much value.
Well, seeing a used book you’d get maybe $4-$6, so…slight increase?

Definitely down
Well you could try and sell it to a Republican, but he might get mad if he actually could read out. Something something made the Greeks gay blah blah Achilles "best friend" yada yada
Depends on whether the Hulkster is claiming to have written it or not, brother
He did write it, after a bout of inspiration brought on by the first time he power-slammed Andre the Giant. Which just so happened to be in front of a sold out crowd at the Roman Colloseum in 600 CE, because he also invented time travel.
How many muscles in his back did he rip from the bone that time?
No
Two questions.
Has he read The Iliad?
Can he read The Iliad?
Both no.
Can he read?
Argh, beat me to it
Argh, beat me to saying beat me to it
it's not for reading; just a real life stand-in for a Greek statue pfp
Could have just smeared shit on the front page themself instead of finding a washed up celebrity to do it.
“Cause I bumped into him and all I had on me was this samurai sword. And you're not gonna not get Randy Jackson's autograph, right?”
I'm sure he'll claim to have given Homer the idea to write it and that the character Achilles is based on him
Last I heard, Hulk Hogan is no longer a heel. BUT he is kind of a racist, homophobic Trump-supporting heel in real life. Maybe that is his Achilles' Heel? Wow, there really are layers to this.
He may not be a heel, but he's definitely a shitheel.
You know it, brother
Didn't Achilles swing both ways?
That's Lattimore's translation, a good one although I think I prefer Fitzgerald. But a win all the way around
Also: is this one or two layers of ignorant, considering the poster misspelled the name of the book he took a photo of?
Eh, misspelling is easy to do.
Correctly spelling things is easy to do as well these days, to be fair.
Autocorrect might spell a word correctly but it might not be the correct word.
Especially when it's on the photo you just uploaded.
It depends on your usages.
I speak French and English daily, Spanish and Italian more rarely albeit pretty often.
That made my autocorrect crazy, especially amongst romance languages. Now I save some time by disabling it rather than trying to correct the autocorrect...
I'm guessing this was at Hogan's appearance at a Woodman's grocery store in North Aurora, IL, recently? What an incredibly high profile appearance.
