Rickey Henderson Collectors Thread

It does not have a recessed area. It is in a penny sleeve (Ultra Pro) and the screws are not completely tightened down. Just enough that the card won't move. Should I put it in a different holder?

Anyone ever seen one of these before?

I would without a doubt, you don't want excess pressure on the corners for any amount of time, especially with a gloss surface. Or you can just sell it to me and I can take better care of it! :twisted:

Can't say that I have, but then again, never looked that close at them. Thats cool!

:lol:

I would definitely put that bad boy into a more modern holder. It's a nice card, it deserves a nice case.


The SLU is pretty hilarious. I wonder how rare it is? It really jumps out at you, I can't imagine somebody having one and not noticing the Chicago...

I'll swap it out, but I thought that was a nice case for the card? I should have some other 4 screws with a recessed area. Want to distinguish it and a few others from the regular serial numbered cards in one screw holders.

 

[Hendersonfan]

So I took all cards out of the lucite "bricks" today. Is there any good use for them? Should I just get regular one screws or do they make thicker ones? My plan is to build/buy some type of display case and I was going to put the platinum gold and other cards on display.

 

[RL24]

If you have a table with 1 leg that's too short, one of those lucite bricks would be perfect! Or if you need something to throw at somebody, but don't want to hit them with the full weight of a traditional brick. What I did with mine was throw them in this box with tons of used supplies that I have acquired via thousands of incoming cards. Mine are recessed and everything, I just think they are way too huge and bulky.


You could try the magnetic one touches if you would like to easily distinguish them from the other cards. I'm not 100% sure, but if memory serves they are taller than the screw downs so they stand out/stick up above the rest. For the display, I have lots of these little things:

Not the whole thing that somebody put together, just the little "easels". Those are the only ones I could find, I don't know what they're really called. I like them because you can just leave your card in the case it's in, and set it on there. So easy to switch out. I don't actually use them, they're in a box near the box with the lucite bricks....

Nope, but Chicago only wishes that dream came true!

Any story behind that?

I got an e-mail this week from someone asking if I'd ever seen one before. I hadn't, but I told him that I'd ask around.

Brad I'm curious does the back say Henderson 24. or is that wrong as well?

Oh and no never seen one before but I also have never looked, like everyone else probably did I did a quick check on mine . I do have a few people I am going to bug about it. Very nice.

I have a loose figure with black batting gloves which looks "factory" to me.

It does say Henderson on the back. I'll ask the guy what he's planning on doing with it, and will keep everyone posted.

So I've seen a couple of 94 or 95? Score Gold Rush cards with a Pinnacle logo punched into the bottom corner. I've heard these were redeemed for another prize. Does Rickey have one?

I'm pretty sure they are from 1995 and are early release of the Platinum Team Sets, Don't know how many were issued that way but I have never seen nor heard of Rickey being made and since he was series 2 I'm fairly sure he doesn't exist.

If you sent in 4 Gold Rush Team Sets from 1995 Score, you would get back 4 Platinum Team Sets along with the ones you sent in that were stamped with the Pinnacle logo to show they were redeemed. This was for both series I & II. Since Rickey was in Series II, I am sure several collectors redeemed their Athletics Gold Team for a Platinum Gold Team. Many collectors might have thought the cards were damaged with the stamp and threw them away. I completed the whole Series I set and when I sold the Platinum teams on ebay, I included the stamped Gold Rush teams as well.

I redeemed a complete series 1 and some of series 2 including 2 A's sets, I dont remember if they gave back the goldrush or not But I know for sure not one of them from series 1 or 2 were marked in any way. So if yours were marked and returned that is your good fortune but they definitely didnt do that for everyone.

 

[RL24]

I was going to say, they must be damn rare if after 17 years a few of you guys don't have one...
