Cash Run
Whoa, someone has been spending some serious coin. Nice massive auto grab. The shirts have always impressed me. I did recently pick up my 17th Rickey Rawlings baseball glove variation (1040).
I've been spending more time tallying up my collection in statistical form (maybe en route...

Well that's not good. I am still waiting on an Auto Rickey redemption Red (/10) from them (since Feb). *sigh* this industry has gone in the tubes.
HARK! A RICKEY FORUM POST!!
This thread is dead unfortunately. That card is not the rarest of promos, but it is a little harder to find than the promo of his regular High 5 card (where he is running). They come by every now and then, and can usually be picked up for somewhere between $4 and...
I am tired of the cold and snow here in the northeast. I just want to see some grass. I have sadly continued buying and have 143 different 2014 cards and 144 different 2013 cards, although they mostly all annoy me. If you have OCD, I am bipolar towards my Rickey card buying. I have been able to...
Hola compadres! I know I've been missing in action for a long time (over a year), but my now-3-year-old daughter absolutely consumes my time. I barely have time to do anything of my own anymore. Ahh, some of you guys know what I'm talking about. I just haven't had time to even peek in at the...
Larry, I need these from your pic (in my priority order):
05 Leaf Sportscasters Beige
02 Donruss Originals Nifty Fifty Padres
12 Topps Five Star Relic
PM with your email address and I'll send you my full list of stuff for trade and we'll see what we can work out.
Ken, I need these...
This rant (and the stories in the comments) don't give much hope:
Topps continues the 'Bait and Switch' approach to redemptions | Sports Card MagazineSports Card Magazine
I'll ask a few of my lawyer friends about class-action lawsuits. I'm sure we would easily find many many people who would...
I can't stand that Topps gets to pump out several new card sets FOR YEARS while not making good on the Tier 1 Redemptions. Seems like that should be breaking some kind of business law. Totally crap. I won't buy any more redemption card because of that. Topps is the Bottoms. (see what I did...
A couple of quick ones while I have a moment:
#1) I'm sure you all know this (I'm usually the last to see), but since no one shared yet, maybe there's one out there who hasn't. Leaf is selling this direct via ebay. There are apparently 70 made (according to them). Its the base card of that...
Larry is that you racking up the 2012 Leaf Legends of Sport Printing Plates (1of1s)? Looks like whoever it is, is going for one of the greatest "rainbow" sets of all time...all of the colored printing plate 1/1s. Once collected, I hope we get a nice pic. :) Good luck.
I am in NJ (but you...
I have all Rickey 99 Pacific reds except the Prism. (I don't have a pic of the Paramount Red at the moment).
Please PM me if anyone has one of these for sale or trade:
BTW, even though Beckett doesn't list it....does anyone know if they made a Retail Red version for the 99 Crown Royale...
I might be interested. Do you have a list, or do you want me to PM you ALL of my 90's items for trade? Do you want to include the very early 2000's (I see you like Pacific inserts and they had a good run until 2001). Also which Burgundy is it (I only have the #47 Padres, but curious as to...
How is it that Topps can puke up 75 different variations of the same stupid card for a 2013 release, but can't friggin fulfill the stupid redemption cards from the 2011 Topps Tier One release? That company is run by no-talent-a$$-clowns.
Merry Hendersonmas and Happy (Matt) Hollidays to all of you!
I am 3 away from the magical 4000 different Rickeys and I think the 2 I have coming in the mail from Brad will be the ones that put me over the top!! In the spirit of giving (well, mostly trading), here's a list of my doubles...
BTW, I just noticed your mini list in your signature, and my records show that there were 100 in the print run for the 1996 Aficionado 1st Pitch Preview although it wasn't serial numbered. If anyone else has different, please post.
Some facts about Tim Raines...when talking about HOF:
How many WS rings? 1 as a part of the juggernaut 96 NYY...how'd he do in that WS? 3 measly singles in 14 ABs.
How did he do in the post-season in his career, when it really matters? 3 SBs and 18 runs in 34 postseason games...and 3 times...
Just a quick follow-up. Here's an ABC site that uses some neat technology to show before and after aerial views. Ken C. lives in Brick (shown in one of these photos). Look closely in the Brielle pic for where all the boats end up...
Hey guys. Just got my power back on last night. Its been a long 9 days. And now...ITS SNOWING! Dangit! But no flood or tree damage, so if the power being out is the worst then we got lucky. But, I think a few Rickeys I ordered (and were supposedly shipped) before the hurricane probably got...
Hey, Ken C and everyone else on the east coast - be safe these next couple of days. This hurricane looks like it could get quite ugly. If (when) the power goes out, I'll likely not be able to bid on ebay Rickeys, so someone else should gobble them up and sell them to me. :)
