These cards are from my personal collection. I’ve decided to put my PSA graded cards up for sale because I have other things going on in life that I could use the money for…HOWEVER, I’m not desperate to sell them. Some people might think my prices are high…whatever… I really haven’t kept up with what Rickey PSA cards are selling for and it’s sort of fine with me if they never sell because although I could use money, I’m still a big fan.
I had the cards listed on eBay for awhile as fixed price listings, but decided to put them here on my blog to save eBay fees. CLICK HERE to view the cards I currently have for sale, or click the “products page” link on the right-hand side of the page. Please let me know if you notice something isn’t working correctly.
… that I haven’t gone through in several years. The sketch (photo below) was done in 1992 by a young artist named Justin Murphy, who at the time was writing and drawing a comic book called Southern Blood. I was 15 years old at the time and was fortunate enough to be able to work at a comic book & hobby store where Justin was signing autographs and promoting his comic book, and somehow I managed to talk him into drawing me a sketch of Rickey Henderson.
I don’t think Justin was a sports fan, and he probably didn’t really know much about Rickey Henderson. I had him draw the sketch quickly by looking at a baseball card, so I’m sure the sketch can be critiqued by Rickey Henderson fans, but I think it’s good, there is no mistaking who the sketch is portraying. I like the drawing and it takes me back to a good time in life, working at a comic book and sports card shop!
As for Justin Murphy, he has continued to be successful, and he still draws and writes. Here is a link to one of his latest projects, a graphic novel titled Cleburne, a controversial and true story of Irish immigrant and Confederate General Patrick Cleburne and his plan to enlist slaves to fight for the South during the American Civil War. Check it out!
picked up 2 blaster boxes at wal-mart, don’t think i got anything real notable.. i like the Topps Heritage this year, but i usually buy a box or two every year anyway..
i didnt even know he was in the set, but after my previous 2010 Topps post, i saw this post on the CU Forums and noticed Rickey’s name in the list.. i looked on ebay and saw several different 2010 Topps Rickey Henderson cards..
and i want them..
well, maybe not the “patch logo” cards, but the others I see on ebay are pretty awesome looking..
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..
once 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.
