I'm picky with the cards I've been buying. Auto needs to be nice and not the same picture. Otherwise I'll work on my top 10.

Question for Rickey Henderson fans. I recently got from a fellow Red Sox collector a 2005 Donruss Champions Impression Material card #313 , featuring Rickey in a Red Sox uniform. It is #'d to 219. I usually use Beckett as a reference for the exact naming of the card for my spreadsheet. Not that this should surprise me, but this particular card is not listed by them. Anyone know anything about this card? They have listed all of his other Material cards featuring Yankees, Mariners, A's, Padres and Dodgers, but not this material card. I have seen one sold on eBay, but was just letting the curiousity getting the better of me. Figured this group might be able to help! (Probably just another miserable job of Beckett having an accurate data base). Thanks for your help.

Thanks! Funny, after seeing this, I went back in and removed Material and it came up. Just one of those quirks with the way Beckett enters data. Appreciate the help.
Okay Rickey collectors (or anyone else, all are welcome to comment of course), my wife asked me what my favorite card of his is, and it got me thinking...
What are your three favorite Henderson cards? In your collection or not, it matters not.
Mine are:
1. Chong Modesto for sentimental reasons, value and rarity. It is kind of an ugly card but I love it!
2. 1980 Topps rookie, love the picture and the memory of how I got my first one.
3. This is where it all falls apart, there have been many cool cards, some totally awesome patches, bat knobs/nameplates and a few really cool designs from certain card companies. Possibly this one for me as number 3, maybe...
It is a 1/1 and I always loved the black refractor and patch pieces together.

(1) 1982 Topps Blackless
(2) 1980 Topps
(3) 1977 Chong
(4) 1984 Mel Ramos Pro-Arts (still on my want list)
(5) 1993 Finest Refractor
i had to extend it to a top 5 list to make this a real challenge! Top three were "no-brainers" to me. Many would argue that his '82 Topps is one of the most classic/iconic cards in existence. I'd tend to agree, but Blackless trumps the base card by a mile.
I, personally, wouldn't put any card after 2000-01 on my top 20 list, no matter how rare.

The A's are giving away a Rickey button at the game tonight. I'm sure they'll hit eBay shortly.

Some great patches on that card. Congrats!

I've posted in this thread only a handful of times but read it every time one of you post. I'm not a Rickey collector but instead just a lifelong baseball card collector. However, I really enjoy seeing your collections, reading your stories and yes Rickey was a phenomenal player. I have a Chong in the hands of PSA right now and I'm anxious to share with you the results once I learn them. I already have one so depending on the results one of the 2 will probably go up for sale. Happy 4th of July!
I hope to see the results of the submission as well! Hope it is as high a grade as possible. I read your A-Rod most wanted list, not asking for much are ya?
Good luck finding those.

Hey Fellas, hope everyone is doing well. Anyone trying to complete the Panini rainbow? I have a few, looking for the Orange die cut, the Red, Gold. This is the first new product I have got since 2011. I like them.
Recently picked up the 1998 Pinnacle Sample Stand up Guys, that was a tough one!

I like these as well. Only bought purple.
Don't know if I'm violating some rule by doing this, but someone on Blowout is selling a Rickey auto redemption, and thought of you folks. Take this post down if it's no bueno with upper management.
