Rickey Henderson Collectors Thread

[rickey939]

Let's be clear... I don't own all of those cards. I don't own even one of those cards. But I've been collecting pictures of Rickey cards over the years, and have quite an extensive digital library (over 48,000 images!), especially of cards I'll never be able to afford. Someday I'll post them all online in a Rickey catalog/website, but first I'm still working on my "master list" of Rickeys. It is currently at over 22,000 items at the moment, but still cleaning it up methodically. I combined lists from several different insane Rickey collectors like me, so I have to weed out the duplicates as best I can and am trying to standardize on nomenclature, format, etc. Its my hobby when I'm not scanning ebay for Rickeys or drooling at pictures of Kent's Man-Cave-of-Steal.

You are a legend! Love it. And brilliant idea to collect photos of cards we will probably never see again once in a collection. Can’t wait to peruse that in the future! Thanks for all you are doing. I’m in awe.

Which one of the Leaf Sports Heroes is that? And what is that last card... I don't recognize it? Those Mizuno ones from the prior post are awesome! Such a cool idea.

Rickey Collection Milestone Achieved!!

I am now owner of 1,000 Rickey items that are serial numbered 25 or less. It has taken a long time to get to this milestone. I consider 25 as a good threshold of true difficulty to get. I also just crossed the 500 threshold for items serial numbered 15 or less. I'm on the cusp of a few other fun milestones too, but this is one I had in sight since last year and have been spending/bleeding cash ever since.

Current Rickey Collection Counts:

Serial Numbers	Serial Numbers
1 of 1	34​
5 or less	176​
10 or less	434​
15 or less	507​
20 or less	581​
25 or less	1000​
30 or less	1077​
50 or less	1742​
100 or less	2397​
200 or less	2604​
300 or less	2748​
500 or less	2864​
All serial #s	3139​

Thanks! It’s the 2017 Leaf Sports Heroes:



The other card is a custom 80 set I had done to mimic the colors of the 1982 set:



Glad you like the Mizuno custom! So fun.

Sharing is kinda fun. Here's another Rickey 1-of-1... 2016 Topps Triple Threads Autograph Relics #TTAR-RH1 Ruby Red (SN1). I don't own it, but I do have a picture of it.

Any chance you have a picture of a Rickey Ryan Arron refractor from 01 chrome

 

[Bolemite24]

Sorry... just checked but I don't have any doubles of those to trade.

Thank you for checking

 

[Leffer]

I don't have the Chrome... I only have this one.



Which is interestingly different than the one pictured in the Topps Promo Flyer which shows Rickey & Hank reversed (!!!)

OK Kent, here's some more 1-of-1s from 2013 for you then. Triple Threads triple relic autos with Bo & Mike Trout. Here's the Ruby Red, the Wood, and 3 of the 4 possible printing plate "White Whales".

 

[Leffer]

Here's a hard to find one. A very early edition of Sport Kings, made for the 2010 National Convention. Pretty cool.
