Rickey Henderson Collectors Thread

I am no expert on variations and printing errors, but I would think the above falls more on a print error side of the house vs. a true variation. 90’s cards were filled with print errors every year due to sheer quantity produced. That said, my assumption is that while the card is fun and unique, the value just isn’t there beyond what somebody is willing to pay for it. Just my opinion.

Thank you! This is the type of thing that I need to learn. Going through the box of cards is a real challenge because I know so little about them and I have so many that have differences from the cards I see online, things like: extra holograms, off center, unusual spots, etc. along with the ones with the odd looking font.

My newest Rickey Henderson addition and it’s a #grailpiece! Game used Mizuno cleat from 82-84 era! This was originally in a private collection, but was recently purchased at auction through Brandon Steiner. The person who consigned it acquired it from their father who passed away. They stated to us that Henderson handed it to their father after a game. As not only a huge Rickey fanatic/collector, but all things Mizuno as well that Rickey wore, this is just surreal to now have in the collection!

Congratulations, fantastic addition to your incredible collection. It’s also a testament to how footwear technology has changed since his playing days.

I go away for a week, and come back to some awesomeness! That doormat is awesome. But that shoe is grailworthy. That is awesome. I have a pair with a facsimile auto on the back (pure white... like a ghost)

Wonder if they make a Frank Thomas...

Had a fun PMG custom made since Rickey didn’t have a 1997 Fleer Metal Universe Gems…
