I have bought from him many times, i realize he is high on some items, but if its a tough issue, and it were to go on ebay, i expect to pay a premium. I guess it comes down to whats it worth to the individual.

It doesn't bother me that much with Rickey, because you might get a collector desparate enough to overpay. But.... I watched this Jason Jennings card go around and around and around (probably still going around) and it was $57.50. I waited for the auction and brought it home for under $5 dlvd. Most of that was s/h. So some of his cards are worth nowhere remotely near what he wants for them...

I am counting for it to go down, because progress with him means we can work on ours next!

I wanted to ask you guys about the 2001 King of Kings set. Do any of you guys have the whole thing completed? You never ever see the Chrome 3 player refractor /5 or the /10 Henderson either. These must've been a tough pull I am guessing.

The refractor #/10 can be yours for only $324.95

Here's some more info:

This insert is a complete parallel of the Chrome King of Kings insert set produced with Topps patented refractor technology. The first three cards were randomly inserted exclusively into first series hobby packs at 1:16,920. Cards 5 and 6 were randomly seeded exclusively into second series hobby packs at a rate of 1:23,022. Card number 4 in the set (intended to feature Mark McGwire) was never produced. Only ten of each card was printed and each is hand-numbered in thein blue pen on back. Please note that a special "Golden Edition" card containing game-used memorabilia of Aaron, Ryan and Henderson was inserted into first series hobby packs at a rate of 1:212,169. Only 5 copies of this card were produced. Card backs carry a "KKR" prefix.

How do I get it? Is it like 800 yen or something? It's confusing, but I want that card! :lol:

Awesome! I just spend some time emailing them myself... Guess we'll see what happens!

Anybody know how many dollars 800 yen is? :?




I had an enormously awesome weekend. Cleaned the basement up and moved my cards back down there. It was a good experiment moving the cards upstairs, but... not really. They are heavy. There's no room upstairs, so they were stacked in a cube of 3. Getting to the bottom one was a ton of work, but that's OK because they are the late 80's and early 90's so I don't really need them. It was cool to look in the box again though, because there was a small stack of cards which included a certain Finest Gold #041/100. Awesome!

Under the old system, I had to wait until the kid wasn't at home because she's evil now and wants to destroy everything in the world. Once I got that golden moment of peace, it was a lot of work just to get 1 box out to look at the cards. Now they are all laid out like open faced sandwiches waiting to be dug through. I still won't have much time to play with them, but when I do get the time they are all ready to go. So hopefully 2012 will be the magical year that Ryan gets some trading done. I even emailed myself that list of cards you're eying so I can just take my phone to the basement and dig... get your hopes up everybody! :mrgreen:


And Brad... thanks for the blog post! I hope I motivated you rather than bothering you...

So my employee at work is 936. I asked if I could have it changed to 939 for personal reasons but they said it was too difficult and not worth the hassle as they would have to redo all kinds of paperwork and such. So I guess I'll settle for the steals record after the 90 season.

Oh yeah, and an awesome member of FCB, Ty Hope (who lives in Japan) is helping me obtain that 24 card. Thanks for pointing it out to me Neil, I never would have found it in a million years!

I think you can still get the checklists for free, but you have to pay to see the BV? I'm not really 100% sure about that, but I think that's the way it is...? Helpful, I know. Maybe watch for somebody else to make a thread requesting help with BV and hijack their thread...
