My buddy Matt over at Dinosaur Dracula (and formerly of X-Entertainment) posted this list of the Top 10 Carnival Mirror Glass he found on eBay and one of them is this fine Hulk Hogan one.
It’s the kind of cheap prize you could win at the local County Fair or the State Fair for managing to win one of the rigged games like smacking the rubber frog onto the right lilly pad.
I’d totally blow $20 trying to knock down pyramids of milk bottles just to get this baby!
That and a rug would really tie a room together nicely.
It appears as if whoever designed this took a picture of “Old Hulk’s” face and put it on “Young Hulk’s” head.

This might be my new favorite SBT.
I remember offering a dermis $30 in 1988 for this coop Sex Pistols screen print on black whatever material. He told me I had to hit the cherry with the dart. First throw I hit it, I pointed af it and he yanked it down, looked at me, and said:”Get the f@*& out of here.” I still have it. I miss enjoying carnivals…
Those were the prizes for the pop the balloons with the darts games when I was a kid. I used to have a few of them, wish I still did. One was a “The Party’s Over” one with the Noid smashing Spuds Mackenzie in the head with a hammer.
I also had a sweet, big gold framed, Iron Maiden Seventh Son of a Seventh Son poster that I lost somewhere along the line in college. Man, that really ticked me off.
I retired undefeated from the guess your weight contests. I won a lot of stuffed animals.
I hope the ghost of Warrior won’t appear in it laughing at me…
One time, I was trying a dart game for a carnival glass of Undertaker. It was one of the bigger ones, and it was awesome- hand reaching out, eyes rolled back, purple everywhere.
So, the guy gives me a dart, and tells me I need a gold star (underneath an opaque balloon) to get a big glass. So I go to throw the dart, but the hoodie I was wearing was slightly too long for my kid arms, and the dart snagged it on the throw.
I hit the guy right square in the patella.
It sticks, it digs in, he yelps, it draws blood. But the guy thought it was so hilarious, that he gave me the glass.
It’s all about the aim.
