Rickey Henderson Collectors Thread

jcool, that 82 perma.gold was a really tough one for me. It was the last card I needed from 82, and finished up the 79-83 portion of my wantlist. I paid $20 for it, but I was so happy to get it. Then they added the 82 Blackless to the OPG, so now my list isn't complete anymore anyway, shoulda never blown the $20... ::facepalm:: :lol:[/quote]


Yeah I have been looking awhile for that one. Card Gallery has one on the Beckett market place but he wants $30. I just think that's a little high.

I advise patience on that one. Set up a saved search on ebay and have it email you. Make sure to watch for sets!

I had in my sig on Topps MB: "$20 Finders fee for 82 Perma.gold Rickey". A guy with better search skills snagged a team set off ebay for ~$5 and made a killing off me! :lol: He got $15 and the rest of the set (I can't remember if it was just a team set, or the whole set... I don't think the whole set is that big, so I think it was the whole set) for free. ::facepalm:: I should have been more patient and/or searched better, it took him less than a month (after I posted that in my sig) to find that one.

Is this the one you need, or is it the other one?

[RL24]

Probably the other one, the Super Star... that's the one I always needed.


Like this but gold...

Just wanted to remind everyone NOT to bid on these coins:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-Topps-Gold ... 3f13f19e49

They are VIRTUAL coins, and you may as well just print out the picture from the auction, as it won't be any different than actually owning one

I made it! Thanks Ryan for letting me know that all of you guys have moved over here. I only have 2+ years to catch up on, no big deal! Haha.

Kent, did no one ever invite you over here?! I just figured you didn't have time for the Rickey board. I comment on your stuff on FB so often, I never really put it together that you never posted here either!

Not that I ever remember. After Card Fanatics had it's database problem, I lost touch with the group.

I may have another one of those actually - I will double-check....

[UPDATE: Sorry, I don't after all.]

Just missed on a 2001 King of Kings Aaron, Henderson,& Ryan for $300 BIN. By the time I opened it, it was sold. What a steal.

The one I saw was for $250 that closed!

 

[henderson939]

Yeah it must have been a best offer.

 

[rickeyfanatic]

If the base sold that quick, I can only imagine what the Chrome version of that or the Henderson refractor would go for

Can any of you guys tell me if how rare or often it was that Rickey added "#35" to his autograph? I really haven't seen very many like this - so it got me wondering how potentially rare it actually is:

Not very often but they could have at least put it on a card where he is actually wearing #35, kind of odd to do that, on that card. Ya know. Value ? How many people actually care, I guess we'll see what they say.

Yeah, I found it odd being on that particular card as well.

 

[RL24]

I find it rather typical that they messed that up. The card companies aren't good with little details like that. This one drives me crazy:

/\
Why #/35? WHY!?!?!?!?!

:lol:

The 35 inscription seems incredibly rare to me... any inscription does. I only have one, but it's a good one!

You'd expect it to be on a Dodgers card... but even a broken clock is right twice a day!

 

[RL24]

I thought of one more, the grand daddy of 'em all. It wasn't easy to find a pic of, since most of the nicer versions of the card are missing the number in the middle (thankfully). One look at this card and I was... disgusted. Yes, I think that's the right word. I love numbers, and this disturbed my strange little world.
