thinking about selling some of my Rickey Henderson collection..

June 11th, 2009

yep.. i haven’t actually decided to sell yet, but i’ve been thinking about it.. i have several things i’m trying to raise money for, and the Rickey Henderson cards might have to take a backseat to other things more important in life right now, unfortunately.. but maybe not.

jose canseco is gonna fight MMA..

May 2nd, 2009

holy crap he’s gonna get his head knocked off by Hong Man Choi, who is a 7′2″ 350lb Korean dude with some legit MMA experience.. while Canseco was fighting danny bonaduce, Hong Man Choi (aka “The Techno Goliath”) was fighting Fedor..

ive been an MMA fan since i first saw UFC 3 on VHS back in the 90’s, and couple that with being an Oakland A’s fan back in the “Bash Brothers” day, and it makes probably the most awesome fight i’ve ever looked forward to.. pure entertainment.

RIP Jose.



not rickey, but boxing!..

April 26th, 2009

as i’ve said before, i collect all kinds of stuff besides just rickey henderson.. a friend of mine (Halosfan) from the CU forums knows I enjoy sports in which people get punched in the face, and he sends me some cool boxing cards sometimes.. he’s sent me several over the years, but here are the latest two.. I think my favorite is the Jack Slack card.. homeboy just seems like a badass.. he died in 1778, and the back of the card says little is known about him except that he was also a butcher, and a “master with the broad-sword”..

rickey hendersons empty drink bottle?

April 8th, 2009

evidently Rickey likes Canada Dry.. at least according to this auction.. the seller says he doesn’t have a certificate of authenticity, but hey, there is still some drink left in the bottle, which the seller calls Rickey’s “backwash”.. pleasant.

cheap new addition, not Rickey Henderson..

April 4th, 2009

yeah i know this site is “rickeyhendersoncards”, but whatever.. i also collect Ron Gant cards and a few others, so i might feel like posting about those sometimes too..

new PSA graded addition..

March 17th, 2009

cheap, but one i didnt have.. i’m pretty sure this card came out of one of those little drug store box sets that were everywhere in the late 80’s.. they usually contained like 44 cards or something, i had sets from Revco, Kmart, everywhere..
