Rickey Henderson Collectors Thread

I like the big scans. I like to see the stuff in all its' glory. No holds barred, ya know?

Do any of you guys know the deal with these Topps Attax? I have 3 different, is there more? I also need to know how I should list them on my checklist. Is the first one series one? the 2 new ones series 2? How should I put them down? Thanks for any help.

Good questions. I have three different as well, and was wondering if there were card numbers I am not seeing?

I agree with Larry.

Me too! :shock:

Ryan, ya know we love ya, :grouphug: but go ahead and let us know what you want for YOUR cards. It is your right and we can't blame you if you feel that they are worth quite a bit, or if one is junky and you think it is worthless. We are waiting with baited breath, but we know better than to hold our breath! :lol:

I gotta stop using the smilies, they are kind of addictive. Ah man. ::facepalm::

You know what the worst is? When you go to look for a smiley, but it's not there. It happens to me all the time, and most of the time I am looking for a black eyed smiley. I'll find it and post it tomorrow, but for now it's bed time.


Just wanted to let you guys know I'm working hard on responding to all your requests! Larry, I have your prices nailed down except for that pesky #08/10... For some reason this card makes me feel really greedy... maybe because I own 3 of them right here, so there are really only 7 out there on the market.

I'd ask the group for ballpark estimates on what a card like this might go for, but.... lol.... I tried it before and it didn't work. But it's all good.

This Absolute set is so popular... in the completed listings there is a jumbo #/100 that went for $22 dlvd, and a 5 piece #/150 that sold for $19 dlvd. Not much else really to judge from currently...


Does anybody know who this bidder is? t***e ( 2107) They won a BJ's hat logo #24/99 tonight or last night, I can't believe I missed it, I think it was a one or three day auction? Where's that swearing smiley when you need him!?

Anybody need any of these? If so, send me a private post or an email. If not, I'll be putting them up on ebay next week sometime.

Scott, I could use that Salvino.

OK Ken. Send me an email offline with some stuff that you have that I might not (you always seem to have a good bunch of stuff that I can use). And we'll see if we can work out a trade.

I also want to add a few more items to the list of Rickeys I have up for trade

Hey guys, sorry for the brief absence, been really busy. I went to a class in Denver yesterday and it took up all my time. Now I have a big stack of work to do so I better get to it. I know some of you are waiting on me with your breath held, so I just wanted to let you all know to take a deep breath. The weekend is almost here!


Scott L, that is a most impressive collection of stuff for trade. I'm assuming that's all extra stuff that's just laying around? :shock:

I picked up most of it in my recent ebay purchase from The_Joker...and I had most of the stuff in the lot already. I was mostly targeting a few items (Salvino Poised For History statue (/550) and the 91 Dad's Kids Corp Tri-Card Upper Deck).

Good luck with your class. Denver is a decent town. Hopefully you can get to a Rockies game. :ugeek:

The new cards are part of a Topps Attax set called "Battle of the Ages," which was released after the original cards

There's only 15 retired cards in the set, so you'll get one Rickey in every pack. There is also a foil parallel, which is inserted 2 per pack. Beckett has not yet listed them, so I'm not sure what they are doing about numbering.

The first one is #3 in the set according to them:

2010 Topps Attax Legends #3 Rickey Henderson

I'll keep you guys posted on any updates that arise.

Thanks for the info Brad. I was asking because the first one I got says Battle of the Ages on the back also. So all three say Battle of the Ages on the back?

Well, my baby is drugged up due to Teeth Fever, so she's peacefully passed out... but her temp was 102.6 earlier. And when you touch her she's this hot---> And it's been really hot here in the Springs, we're not used to it... and she just wants to be held. It's killin' me!

But I have finished the last of the Absolute cards...






I think I'll do 2003 Leaf Limited next... any opinions? It's either that or the box of random stuff. There's plenty of DK, but most of the box is nicely mixed stuff. Maybe I will do that stuff, it would probably be more fun for all y'all...

Picture for Larry's pleasure...

Some people are just mean. ::facepalm::

No, it was for your pleasure, not your pain!

I thought you'd be happy to be presented your choice between the two. They each have their ups and downs...

Well alright! I have started scanning the misc crap, but I had already started on the 03 LL so here are 4 scans that will be a little out of place....





This one is one of the funniest Prime cards ever made. You can tell it's prime because of the color of the card, and look at this awesome primeness....



There is a tiny string of thread in the lower left hand corner...

Did anybody see this auction?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWAX:IT


Well... check this out....




Feel free to make an offer on one of the three gentlemen, nobody needs 3 of the 10 cards that were made. Especially not if they are worth $79.95 (or so) each!

Do you happen to know if he has Hat Logos this time around? Have you guys seen the new hat logos?




Anyone get any of the 2010 Topps Attax cards of Rickey yet? I've pulled a few out of the boxes I've opened. I've only pulled one of the Foil/refractors from one of the "Battle of the Ages" tins (so far), but I have a few of the base Henderson cards from the same tins.

Is it just me, or does this look weird?http://cgi.ebay.com/2004-Topps-Orig...=US_Baseball&hash=item27b2601b78#ht_588wt_909

Just doesn't look right.
