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.
But this is a good time to show a few of my earliest 1-of-1s... a 2006 Topps Sterling Cherry Wood
a 1999 Stadium Club Printing Plate
and a 2000 Stadium...
Wait a minute... Rickey is somehow on the front AND the back of that cello pack??!?!? AND there was a "look for Rickey rookie" promotion on the cello pack itself??? Is this a homemade item??? (cuz that seems crazy that would have happened in real life)
OK, some more Rickey sleuthing help needed. 2005 Donruss Throwback Threads #294. I have the Blue Century Proof (SN150) and Gold (SN100) and Platinum Blue Century Proof (SN10).
BUT... I've seen one on lists but haven't ever seen one...the Green Century Proof. Anyone have this?
2005 Donruss...
Why not... another fun Rickey 1-of-1 for the day. I don't have this one, but I do have a picture :-)

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...
OK... another mystery I need some help with. In going through the catalog of all of the pictures and cards I have, I see one in the catalog that I oddly don't have in my collection NOR do I have a picture of...
Random post of a cool Rickey 1-of-1. I don't have this card, but have the picture :)

I hope everyone's summer is going well and everyone is staying as cool as possible. I have another Rickey mystery to solve. 🔎
2004 Leaf Certified Materials Fabric of the Game #189. His Athletics versions of the cards, and there are several variations. The one of particular interest is the...
@jeffv96masters I looked through all of my pics. I have almost all of the Combos (Sigs + relics) but this is the ONLY one I saw with just a sig (AND... I don't have a pic of the Combo for that framed platinum grey which is why I thought it MIGHT be an error). Good stuff though...20 years later...
The mystery one is also a black sharpie (all others in the set are blue) AND he added a #24 to the auto (which he didn't do for any other). Intriguing... (although I am probably too intrigued by a genuine Donruss processing screwup)
