Rickey Henderson Collectors Thread

[cgilmo]

I can promise that this will be as stable as FCB has been since its inception.

We don't make rookie mistakes round here.

Also start an official collectors thread.

Not only will it allow people to show off their goods, it will show up in googles rankings so people looking to move cards will know who to contact.

Yay, new digs. Hope we can stay. I need a new home for my evilness. Hope to see some new Rickey stuff dragged out of a collection somewhere and hope more new faces join in the discussions. Always good to get new views.

Speaking of stuff dragged out, have you guys seen the latest '77 Chong on the 'bay? The seller only wants 10k or best offer for it . It is graded an 8 by PSA, but wow...

In honor...

I don't have any fancy pics to show, just letting everyone know that I've migrated over from that other forum that crashed often. Well, lets see if I can figure out how to use this interface...here is one of my favorite 2005 cards I have:



If anyone has Rickeys to trade, I have many many other sports cards, oddballs, and memorabilia that I've collected over the past 30 years that I am willing to trade. Let me know what players you collect and I can send you a list of what I've got. Let me know what Rickeys you have (always looking for 2005 Leaf Sportscasters) and maybe we can work out a trade.

Thanks.

Hot Rickey there Leff, is that #/5? Now that I have my scanner set up at home, I'm hoping to get some new scans to show off myself... for now, all I gots to show off is this...

Hot Rickey there Leff, is that #/5?

Yes, it is #1/5. I also have the Prime Red Triple swatch (01/25) but don't have a picture of it yet.

Not a Rickey Henderson collector or even a fan for that matter but I did pull this card a few years ago and it is sitting in a box around here somewhere:

Sweet card, PM sent!

Just looking at your scan Ryan, his autos on those 2 are really different.

Maybe he got a ghost writer for one batch?

NICE! Gonna try to get them all #1?

I'm quite proud of this set, completed one tiny sliver of the Absolute Set:



That's all the "Dual Black Prime" cards in the set....



Just a crazy coincidence. I'm getting close on the Dual Prime Reds, 3/5 of the the way there, but most sets I only have one of. Because there are just so many!

And in the #01/xx, here's a really close one....


I seemed to have misplaced the scan of the backs, but they are #001/250, #001/100, #01/25, #3/5, #1/1

Still hoping that maybe someday #1/5 will pop up, but... It's been so long now, the hope has dwindled quite a bit.

I think his sig just varies a bunch. I bet if you had the whole sheet you could see it change as the signing session dragged on. Or maybe as he goes down the sheet, he just kinda changes angles if ya follow.

I was checking it out one day when I scanned all of my autos. They are all a bit different...

Okay, that right there was a huge lie. I should have said I have the scanner plugged in at home. It doesn't work though, it's saying I have no driver and the program I used to scan and crop and crap is also gone.

Sitting in my scanner is a Pewter Bonus for ScottQ who wanted a scan of it, and an old expired $10 phone card that I found in my basement.
