Rickey Henderson Collectors Thread

[kryslarry]

Probably is a legit auto, but the hand numbering isn't, as well as the case and labeling and sticker are junk. There have been many fakes of that set, so I can totally see someone having him sign a card, and then trying to flip the scam card for big dough to one of us!

Did you guys see where this one ended up? $910 I, um, well, wow. Just wow. :shock:

 

[Hendersonfan]

Not sure why I just thought of this, but when we were talking about the Star promos.....I thought I bought some from Scott, but it was DWSacks? I'm not 100% on the name, but he was on eBay all the time.

I don't know exactly who that is, but I know him well enough to know that it's David W Sacks. I'm 1000% sure that I've purchased from him or traded with him or something....


I gotta agree with Leff, Ken is a super great trader.


And now I'll make my monthly public apology for being a terrible trader.


I'm sorry.

I can't believe that "Originals" sold for that much! If you were going to pay that much for a card, wouldn't you at least check to see if the player was actually in the set!

On a more positive note, I got these two in a few days ago. It's the "Hope Diamond" parallel #/60, as well as the 2010 T-206 Polar Bear variation, which I've been attempting to track down forever:

The three T-206 parallels look awesome together!

I concur. Dave Eich is extremely awesome. He's a busy guy, but one of the best traders and Rickey collectors I've ever dealt with. (right up there with ken of course).

aww shucks. :lol: Thanks Scott & Ryan. I have traded with just about everyone here, and feel we have a great group of guys who help each other out. The other 2 guys who are great to trade with, but dont venture here, are Dave Eich & George Chernisky.


Brad, I cant believe another Old Mill has not showed its face. Are you sure it is not a 1/1?

 

[tramers]

SER# 1/24

 

[Hendersonfan]

I've seen more than one Old Mill of other players, but not of Rickey. I would think if Old Mill was 1/1 for one player it would be for all players?

 

[DaClyde]

Does anyone have one of these, or know who makes them?

I've heard from other player collectors thamt more than one exist, but it could vary by player? I e-mailed Topps about estimated print runs, but of course never heard back. I picked this up on Beckett, so it is pretty amazing that one has never hit eBay.

I think I have one, not sure who made it. I think there are ones with penny, nickel, dime and quarter as well.

 

[RL24]

I've never seen one...



Brad, you should make a post on your blog about it. Or about something! I don't check it as much as I used to, because there's nothing to read. I'm sure you've been too busy with real life, but c'mon, I have some pretty boring days at work and need something to read! :shock: :lol:


Just had a fun drive to work, slippery as a **** out there. Weeeeee! My feet are still frozen and I've been at work almost an hour. I don't love the snow.

Okay Ryan, I'll make you a deal. I'll put up something new when we complete our trade, lol! Coincidentally, I e-mailed you about it last night

 

[rickeyfanatic]

Hey guys, figured we could have a little fun. How about everyone posts what 1 card is the one on your wishlist, that you have never seen, or is your white whale.

 

[RL24]

That sounds like an excellent idea! I can do ya 1 better, or actually... 2 better!


Jason Jennings... I've got this set:

2003 Leaf Certified Materials Mirror Black Materials Jsy 60 #01/01
2003 Leaf Certified Materials Mirror Blue Materials Jsy 60 #001/100
2003 Leaf Certified Materials Mirror Emerald Materials Jsy 60 #03/05
2003 Leaf Certified Materials Mirror Gold Materials Jsy 60 #01/25
2003 Leaf Certified Materials Mirror Red Materials Jsy 60 #001/250

If only I could find #01/05, what a great set that would be. I have officially given up though.


CC Sabathia... Missing Button:

2005 Leaf Limited Threads Button 146 #1/5 & #2/5 & #3/5 & #4/5... and those are the only ones I have. :lol:


And Rickey... instead of just saying "77 Chong" which is probably the real answer to the question, I gave it a little thought.... It was tough, but I'm going with this one:

2004 D Classics Classic Combos Bat w/D.Mattingly/ 11 #24/50
2004 D Classics Classic Combos Jersey w/D.Mattingly/ 11 #24/50
2004 D Classics Classic Combos Quad D.Mattingly 11 #01/25 & #16/25
2004 D Classics Classic Singles Bat 15 #24/50
2004 D Classics Classic Singles Jersey 15 #24/25
2004 D Classics Classic Singles Jersey-Bat 15 #24/25

If I could find #24/25, I'd probably be willing to trade #01 & #16 for it. It's really hard being me though, because my white whales aren't just #/5 or #/25, but a specific # out of the print run, making it a 1/1. 1/1's are tough... are they in a pack in a box in a case in a warehouse? Or... even worse... at the bottom of some kids toybox? Destroyed in a hurricane? At the dump already? OK... I gotta quit thinking about it!



So, I got a new phone. It sucks because it isn't as nice as my old phone. I hooked my emails up and bam... 62 emails poured in. I saw yours Brad, and I'm inspired! I need those 24's!!!!!!

I got a few. Some are not as rare as others but are hard to find.

77 Chong
93 Finest Refractor
96 Aficianado FPP
97 Limited Fabric of the Game
99 Topps MVP or 2000...can't remember
00? Stadium Club relic with the shoe

 

[rickeyfanatic]

I guess most of these would frost my cake:

1982 Topps Blackless 610
1989 Topps Doubleheaders Mets/Yankees Test 16
1996 Select Certified Mirror Gold 70
1997 Donruss Limited Fabric of the Game #4
1997 E-X2000 Essential Credentials #94
1997 Pacific Light Blue #426
1997 Pinnacle Inside Club Edition #51
1997 Pinnacle Inside Diamond Edition #51
1997 Pinnacle Press Plate Previews #104
1997 Pinnacle Totally Certified Platinum Gold #76
1997 Ultra Platinum Medallion #285

Did I miss something with this card? Isn't it a regular SP that should be $2-3?

No, I don't think it's you. That's just crazy! I also couldn't believe how much the 1986 General Mills pack recently sold for. I would have guessed $40, maybe $50 max, but it went for $85+

 

[rickeyfanatic]

Ryan, have these. LMK.
