It's be cool if you could set it up in Google docs or whatever so everybody can modify it? Or maybe that wouldn't be cool. Tough call...

And since we are bragging, remember all of the really cool stuff you have, came from me.

I think you have him confused with me. All my really cool stuff came from you... :lol:

762 items is outstanding, I had a hard time wrapping my head around that one....

I wanted to make a separate thread about it. Many people don't even have 762 items in their player collection! It's an amazing number...

About the checklist I am working on, it is capable of everything you are mentioning, I am not a computer dude, but have been working closely with the computer dude who created it.

I appreciate the offers of assistance, but honestly I am only about 800 pic uploads from finishing, once I am done all of you will be able to add scans in(please only scans) (no pictures of cards) on anything that doesn't already have one, actually for it to work the way I hope, if you have something that I dont have a scan of, you MUST upload your scan. Not really but you know what I mean.

I have to apologize the 762 is actually 672 still a helluva lot.

Quite a few of them, Yes and Thank You, but not all, and Yes I very fortunately do have the space, and I really could use a bit more, like another 100 square feet or so would be perfect.

To be exact Ken, 762 items in my collection came from you, Thats alot huh, But you have been helped quite a bit as well, and a wedding gift on top of that, and the Greatest Gift all, Mrs. Yvonne Eich's Christmas Cookies. It has been fun hasn't it, do you realize when we made our first trade, November 1997. Once Again Thank You.

I will try not to sound too mushy, & no offense to Yvonne, but our friendship was the best gift. I remember that first big trade back in 97. What did we move about 20 pieces each? There is no doubt you hooked me up big time over the years and I do appreciate it. Even though we have sent many packages to each other, it is hard to believe that I put 762 items in your collection over the years. Out of curiosity, do you have a tally from your end?

Ken sorry I messed the number up it should be 672 still a big number. and No I dont have a clue how many I have sent, my guess is its fairly close the difference being more non cards from you, where as I have sent you quite a few more Cards.

Due to my rather obsessive nature, I actually can tell you or anyone how or where or from who evry item that I have added to my Rickey Collection since 10-31-1997 when My goal was to add 1 new Rickey item for every day 365 days a year. I have accomplished this every year since with the exception 2008-2009 when I was in Seattle.

Oh and I Love You, too. (don't worry guys our wives know whats up)

I'm sure everyone has already seen them, but if not, I just wanted to pimp my auctions that end today

http://www.ebay.com/sch/spcemountaineer ... =12&_rdc=1

Some of them end this afternoon, but the "better" ones are later today. I've got to pay for that MLB logo patch somehow, lol!

Coming from an uneducated collector on many things:

In a binder I found a pop-up card (around 1.75-2X the height of a normal card) of Rickey. On the back it references the 1985 All-Star Game and was produced by Donruss/Leaf. Just wondering if any of you guys need it.

I was looking to get the Decade of Excellence, but got outbid.

1986 Donruss AS Pop-up. Each starting player had a card and then a pop-up. Thanks for the offer but I have one.

But it's still only at $5.50. That's a steal for that card

Hendersonfan · Jan 26, 2012

I saw it ended ~$30. Too steep until after the reception and we get our mortgage.

Where the hell did you get that?

Click to expand...

For some reason, that just cracked me up! I picked it up on eBay last week for what I thought was a pretty crazy BIN/BO.

Does anyone else have an MLB logo card, I'd love to see it!

Man I don't check the board for a couple days and I miss a lot.

Brad that's a nice card I really like the colors.

Here are three I have

Hendersonfan · Jan 26, 2012

Ryan, John P (4040Man) has listed a ton of 24/XX cards. I need them all but 1) don't have the funds 2) his prices are steep 3) I don't really care about the number of the card as long as I would have one.

While not an MLB logo, I was pretty excited to get this in the mail yesterday;

I was sitting on the side of a mountain meditating on life and 24 cards. At first I thought "What would make me happiest in life?" then I told myself "Acquiring ever Rickey 24/xx card that was ever made!" then I asked myself "How can you do that, when you are not a rich man?" and I realized man, I can't. So I'll just get the ones that are reasonably priced and/or the ones I want really bad. These just don't fall into either of those categories.

While sitting up there meditating I came across some more deep thoughts. I'll pay more than usual for 24's, but I'm pretty much the only one. These cards aren't worth anywhere near $50 to me. I've talked to John... to him they are worth $50 each. I don't know why he is trying to sell him when he finds them so much more valuable than anybody else on earth. He prizes them. He should keep them. Deeeeep.

Welcome to free listing day.......

I feel ya, and the guy may only list them every time there's a free listing day... and that is so often, that it only seems like he's trying hard to sell them. And the fact that he has put them up for sale at that same price for years and years......

Hendersonfan · Jan 27, 2012

I know. I think he has them listed high so that he can "get an offer he can't refuse" I admire that he thinks Rickey demands a premium, but the market just isn't there. I've offered him a lower amount and he straight up says no. Tom Anderson used to deal with you and would put a package together. I remember when I graduated high school, Tom send me an 800ct box of Rickey cards and told me to keep what I didn't have and send back the rest. I'll never forget that kind of generosity.

I recently worked a deal with John off Ebay for two of the 1998 leaf /24's and he worked with me. I levelled with him that i wasnt paying his lowest price, and struck a deal I thought worked out. :!:

Thats funny. When I contacted him and told him his prices are ridiculous, he told me he already sold some for his asking price. I knew he had to be full of shat.
