New Milestone Achieved - I just got my 3,000th Rickey item serial numbered 100 or less. I usually demark 100 as a pretty tough serial number to get, and anything lower than that even tougher. And after years of collecting, I've finally hit this milestone, which I am likely going to consider my...
New Milestone Achieved - I just got my 9,000th different Rickey item (I'm up over 13,300 total). I've slowed down quite a bit, and will soon slow down even further after I achieve one more milestone (I'm almost there... will post when I've achieved).
On a clerical note, my master Rickey list...
I am still in shock and saddened by the news. I still wish it wasn't true. I grew up a Phillies fan, and all Philly sports - the 1980 Phillies was my childhood. I never ever rooted for any opposing player ever... except Rickey. I never rooted for a Yankee, except Rickey. I never rooted for a...
Minor milestone today... I got my 50th Rickey that is a "One-of-One". Its this 24 Leaf Metal Pre-Production Proof Prismatic Black.

a 1999 Stadium Club Printing Plate
and a 2000 Stadium...

2005 Donruss...

The Emerald foil always makes it so so so soooooo nice. I'd trade all the purple, orange, and other foils for emerald green on all of Rickey's Oakland cards. (They can use other foil colors on his other team cards, but green should be the only allowed foil color in his Oakland uni). Its a very...
