some PSA graded cards for sale here..

April 25th, 2010

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.

I Found This Rickey Henderson Sketch In A Box Of Stuff…

March 27th, 2010

… 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!
