just picked up 5 packs while i was at wal-mart.. i scored 2 of those million card giveaway redemptions.. i doubt i will have them shipped to me, they will probably just sit there for eternity..
seems like a pretty cool giveaway promotion though..
bought some 2010 Topps today.. million card giveaway.

December 22nd, 2009My apologies for the sacrilegious nature of this song, but I thought it was worth posting.. (not my creation). Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

more boxing greatness..
October 11th, 2009once again, big thanks to Matthew (aka Halosfan) for sending me some awesome boxing cards (as he’s done several times before!) From the 2008 Topps Co-Signers set, i received Boom Boom Mancini and Kelly Pavlik, as well as a Dual Autograph card featuring Vic Darchinyan and Danny Green..Â
I haven’t been buying much stuff lately, so finding these in my mailbox today was great! Click the images below for a larger view.

October 8th, 2009Brad from www.RickeyHendersonCollectibles.com attended the HOF Induction Ceremonies in July, a trip he had been planning since he was just 8 years old. He took several photos on the trip, but entered his favorite in a contest that ESPN is currently running. Click the link below to vote for his Rickey Henderson photo.

1954 bowman Charley Pride custom card..
August 25th, 2009i was reading the CU forums a few days ago and found this post about an awesome custom card featuring Charley Pride, made by by Bob Lemke to resemble the 1954 Bowman baseball set..
yes, Charley Pride the hall-of-fame country music singer was a professional baseball in the Negro Leagues before he made a name for himself in music..
check out the scan of the card below (click the photo for a larger view)..

1977 chong modesto A’s RICKEY HENDERSON SGC 86..
August 16th, 2009LINK
this is my “white whale” card, but the problem is, it isn’t mine.. i rarely see one of these on ebay, but i’ve never been able to make myself spend that kind of money on it yet.. but ONE DAY!
this is a nice one, graded SGC 86 (NM+)..
rickey hendersons HOF acceptance speech..
July 26th, 2009watch the video.. i don’t know how long it will last.. but his speech was absolutely epic..
“I loved the game of baseball,” Henderson said. “That’s why it was so hard for me to walk away from the game. I thought, ‘If Satchel Paige can start playing Major League Baseball at the age of 45, then with my dedication, hard work and desire I could play until my body said it was time to hang it up.”
couple of new PSA graded additions..
July 6th, 2009first of all, i deleted my PSA Registry sets, i haven’t looked at them in a long time, i never got around to uploading scans (i tried once, and it said my file was invalid or too big or something, but I’ve never had a problem here or on photobucket)..
I also don’t understand why on my PSA registry I had 2 items listed that “didn’t fit” in my sets or whatever.. seriously? I had a MASTER set and a BASIC set, I know the difference between the two, but how the hell can a RICKEY HENDERSON card not fit into my Master Set?
Anyway, i was tired of it, and deleted everything.. maybe one day I’ll start another one, but right now I’m happy with my photo gallery here..
I recently sold a few of my graded cards to a fellow Rickey collector who is putting together a basic Topps graded set, so i’ll eventually want to replace those cards, unless i decide to sell everything, which is very possible, since i’m trying to raise money for other things in life..
however, it’s still hard for me to resist adding new cards to the collection.. here are a couple that i recently got graded thanks to Gumbyfan and the group submission on CU.
