Description

Andre The Giant Autograph Signed ROUSSIMOFF Shikishi Board Wrestling WWF WWE Rare. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
What you are bidding on here is a very rare autographed Andre The Giant Japanese Shikishi board. One of the biggest wrestling legends ever! This is signed with his ULTRA RARE Roussimoff signature which he used in Japan very briefly early in his career when he wrestled as Monster Roussimoff.
A Japanese Shikishi Board is a specially prepared square paper affixed to a hard backing, edged with gold colored trim  It is traditionally used for ink, calligraphy, watercolor art and has been a popular item to get autographed in Japan for more than a century. The Dimensions of this board are 7 inches X 8.25 inches. Basically, you are getting a good sized autograph!
The Japanese Kanji in the bottom left corner on the back of the item (picture 2) translates to Monster Roussimoff.
Please see the auction pictures. I show several examples of Rare Roussimoff style autographs that i previously owned on similar shikishi boards and a program. The pictures have great information on them regarding this type of signature of Andre. Also there is a picture of a card of Andre in his Monster Roussimoff persona and pictures of Andre autographing similar shikishi boards. None of these examples come with the actual auction. They are here to educate you on the signature.
**
This autograph is not certified.** The third party authentication companies stopped authenticating
shikishi
boards (with the exception of in person witnessed signings) about 3 years ago. I have no idea why they did this. I assure you the autograph is 100% Authentic. I'm not even sure if they authenticate Monster Roussimoff Andre autographs anyways. Please however, be advised that if you do attempt to get it authenticated, it will likely fail due to it being on a shikishi board. No refund will be given in this situation.
I pride myself on being a seller that is as honest as possible. Feel free to message me to discuss further.
Andre The Giant is the biggest professional wrestling legend ever. We all know his resume. 7 foot 4" over 500 lbs. Rocked the Pontiac Silverdome with Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania III. Stole the belt from Hogan on the Main Event and sold it to Ted DiBiase. The list goes on and on. What you might not know is that Andre spent lots of time wrestling abroad in Japan for New Japan Pro Wrestling Mostly and for All Japan very late in his life and career. That is where this autograph was signed. Shikishi Boards are a super popular item to get signed in Japan.
Now is your chance to own a super rare autograph of the biggest wrestling legend of all time.
