That is one that has poked its' head up every now and then. Somebody buys it, hangs on to it and for whatever reason sells it later. It is a beauty and about the highest graded version of the card out there. I THINK it may be the highest. I don't want anyone out there thinking I am stating gospel truth and starting a flame war. I just don't remember seeing one higher from another company. SGC92 about equal to a PSA or BCG 9. If I didn't already pawn my first born for mine, I would definitely be tempted! I hope this time it finds its' way to a good forever home, in the hands of a Henderson collector. Too bad there isn't a HOF for cards, as that one should be there. :D In thirty years of collecting and being on Ebay since 1999, this is the ONLY card that I would pay the price on. There are 1/1 cards out there in full color with bad-a$$ patches and autos, going for one fifth the price, and I pass. I don't know what it is, but this card is the 1.

New 1/1 patch/auto cards got nothing on this bad boy. Henderson has always had sweet cards but this is in another realm. Absolutely have to have a copy of this card if you're a Rickey collector... thank god I'm not. :lol:

Hey Everyone,
A fellow co-worker of mine just gave me his Henderson collection to sell for him. He collected him thru his 8th grade year (1990) and then stopped collecting cards for good. So he has a ton of Henderson's in very good condition along with a couple auto'd cards and an auto'd ball.He also has 2 rookies and some regional inserts. I was gonna put the whole thing as a lot up on ebay but I wanted to see if there are any tough issues or errors from the 80's of Henderson?
Any help appreciated,
Thanks,
Dan

I'm not tempted since it's so very far out of reach. More like frustrated.


I got drunk as a lord last night. Everything was going really well until the 8th inning of the Yankees game. I mean REALLY WELL. Then next thing you know I'm irate, and Becky suggests we take a shot, which lead to another shot, and then after the 10th inning there were a couple more shots. :lol: I gotta stop that, it looks like it's going to be a long year watching the Yankees on CC nights. My liver probably can't survive. The good news is CC has a 1.38 ERA, that's pretty hot! I'm so used to him starting out crappy and trying to get his ERA back down from 5.

Andruw Jones was awesome, cranked a HR in his first AB as a Yankee! He really helped CC out, he plays well with others. Now if only the people who collected him could emulate him. :| :lol:


If anybody needs help learning how to add somebody to your list of foes (so you don't have to see their posts anymore) just let me know and I'll be happy to walk you through it.

The Chong is definitely the Holy Grail of collecting for me, that's for sure. I have resolved to add one to my collection at some point in my life! I don't know about the rest of you, but when it comes to a card like the Chong, the condition of the card is almost secondary to me. Obviously, I don't want it to look like a truck ran over it, but my heart cannot get my wallet to fork over $2,500 for the SGC 92 when I would be perfectly happy with a PSA 6 at half the price or less.

For those of you in this thread who do have a Chong, would you mind telling me the grade and what you paid for it (either in this thread or by PM)? I understand if you prefer not to do that, of course :D I saw that a PSA 9 (OC) sold back in '07 for just over $1,300, along with the rest of the '77 Chong Modesto team set.

Looks like we have a couple less Rickey's to track donw. According to the 2011 Topps Tribute preliminary checklist, Rickey was supposed to have a Dual Relic card, along with all of its miriad parallels;

But, based on the actual checklist in this thread, the Rickey card is missing:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=128597

I think the next new Rickey's should be in the 2011 Gypsy Queen product, which is supposed to release some time at the end of the month.

it is INSANE what PSA 10s go for for the Topps. literally 10 times (or more) then the $17.50 i won the PSA 9 for.
Centering is a true female dog on these.

I thought I paid $1300 for my SGC 88? My 88 is better than the PSA 8. :twisted: Anyways, that answers that question. My holy grail. Also, there is a thread on the boards asking what would be the very last card you would get rid of. I put that one in. Some very nice cards and some very interesting ones as well in the thread.

Me too. Only after my fellow Henderson collectors have a crack at it.

Such a gentleman. :D Now, shove 'em all outta the way and grab that bad boy! Just kidding. That's not like you. Me, maybe, but not you.

Oohhh, time to polish my horns. :twisted:
