What is that Asian card worth?

 

[henderson939]

I sold it for $20

Larry, the Asian card is gone. Sorry about that. I do have a 2013 Topps TTT Style Dog auto numbered to 18 if interested.

Oh well, so it goes. I think I'll pass on the style dog card. Thanks for the offer and have a great New Year!

There has been a lot of movement with the 1980 Cal Ripken Jr. minor league cards over the past year. I think a major reason for the explosion is due to the exposure fellow board member RITM (ripkenintheminors) generated with his website and sharing his knowledge about the scarcity of the 1980 Charlotte O's Ripken cards. You guys all know how rare the '77 Modesto Henderson is but is something out there that a non-Henderson collector can be informed with? Like how were the sets produced and distributed? How many sets were originally produced? Looking at the PSA, BGS, and SGC population reports it shows the 77 Henderson is very close in graded numbers to the Ripken. There has got to be more information out there. Can anyone share? Thank you

I don't know if there has been an official way to confirm how many of the Chongs exist. There was the fire/flood story, so the exact number released is fuzzy, not to mention ones that escaped unharmed and have graded high. They are basically never available for sale, giving you little to no reference on actual price ranges. I think if it were possible to nail down information with the scarcity of this card, it would be more valuable than the Ripken. Given that Rickey is the greatest of all time- said without prejudice

And what about this one?

And what about this one?

I have never seen another copy of this sticker in all the years I've collected, and I think that goes for all the Rickey SC'ers here...

 

[cbrandtw]

Rickeyfanatic,
Fill me in on the fire/flood story.

Thanks

 

[rickeyfanatic]

Somehow, this beauty got away...

From what I''ve gathered, there was a reported 400 sets issued. Of those, there was a fire in the storage warehouse(can not find proof of this online) and some were water damaged. Many copies are badly off centered.
This article states SCD says print run of 400, but with less than 80 graded, and very few raw copies ever to see the light of day, who knows how many are out there..

Where is everyone? Brad, Larry, Scott???

 

[Hendersonfan]

Brad said he still checks out the thread but has made no additions lately. Not sure about the others.

This notice is required by law.

Where is everyone? Brad, Larry, Scott???

I'm here, just don't have anything to say. Had to put the collection on "hiatus" for both time and monetary reasons. I haven't been on eBay in months, which is kind of unheard of. I think the influx of new cards kind of overwhelmed me. But, I'm sure I'll be back!

 

[henderson939]

Hi Brad. Glad to hear things are okay. I hear you about the new cards. I basically quit collecting Topps.

 

[henderson939]

How do you post a video on here?
