One of my favorite Rickey "guest appearances" is the 1983 Fleer #51 Robin Yount (and his '83 Fleer Stamp)... only because I had that card for like 15 years before I noticed Rickey lurking in the background AND... the picture must have been taken at an All-Star Game. Just kind of a cool, chill...
That is definitely Rickey. Here is my list of 1991 "guest appearances" by Rickey on other people's cards:
1991 7-11 Score Disc #13 (Cal Ripken Jr., Black back, HS below number, Rickey sliding on front)
1991 Fleer #311 (Mark Eichorn with very blurry Rickey in background)
1991 Score #127...
COLLECTION MILESTONE ALERT!!
With my mail day today, I have now obtained my 8,000th different Rickey Henderson item. With over 12,200 total Rickey items, this makes my collection have 65% unique Rickeys). 28% of my collection is serial numbered, and 11.9% have relics. Only a paltry 1.3% are...
Good grief. They should definitely hire you for Rickey write-up fact checking. They could pay you in cards. :)
Apparently "Flawless" is.... flawed. LOL
Random cool Rickey card of the day. 2015 Topps Strata Strata Signature Patches #SSP-RH Red Rivet (1-of-1). Not the greatest picture, but a pretty cool patch card with some 3D depth to it. If you look close on the bottom edge, you can see that there are two cards...they are bound by a rivet in...
OK, another sleuthing question... has anyone ever seen (or have a picture of) a 1999 Bowman Chrome International #223 Henderson card? I know the 1999 Bowman Chrome International Refractor exists (serial numbered 100), and the 1999 Bowman International exists (not Chrome). But this one is on...
I definitely collect them all. I do find it interesting how much "game used material" and relic cards are out there for his Dodgers days. He only played 30 games for them with only 84 plate appearances!!! Did he change his jersey every half inning? :ROFLMAO: I will give him some credit...
a mini "set"... here's all 3 of these 2010 Topps Triple Threads Sapphire Speed Demons (SN3). Sad that Ellsbury's bat swatch is out of alignment on 1/3. And Rickey's swatch ain't so great on that one either. Rickey's swatch is A's and cool on 2/3, but Crawford's is kinda lame. Although Rickey's...
Happy Thanksgiving EVERYONE! For the holiday's, I'm sharing a picture of a large booklet card. I can't believe someone at Topps gave this design the green light, but here it is. 2010 Topps Triple Threads XXIV Legend Relics #TTXXIVL2 (SN1)
OK another one I'm trying to hunt down. Anyone got any info on this? Maybe it is a digital only card (???) and was never made into a physical card? But any info you might have would be helpful.
OK, another sleuthing question to see if anyone can help with this one. 2019 Topps Allen & Ginter. In this set Rickey appears on two Double Rip cards:
2019 Topps Allen & Ginter Rip Card Double #DRIP-35 with Dave Winfield
2019 Topps Allen & Ginter Rip Card Double #DRIP-42 with Dennis Eckersley...
And... one more fun post while I'm here... random cool 1-of-1 Rickey picture. 2018 Panini Diamond Kings dual materials with some cool laundry tag swatches.
I hit another couple of fun milestones today in my Rickey collection:
200 - Quantity of Relic cards that just contain one piece of BAT from Rickey
500 - Quantity of Relic cards that just contain one piece of JERSEY from Rickey
(multiple relics or multiple players don't count -- this is just...
OK Kent, here's some more 1-of-1s from 2013 for you then. Triple Threads triple relic autos with Bo & Mike Trout. Here's the Ruby Red, the Wood, and 3 of the 4 possible printing plate "White Whales". ;)
