Sunday, August 16th, 2009rickey hendersons HOF acceptance speech..
Sunday, 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..
Monday, 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.
thinking about selling some of my Rickey Henderson collection..
Thursday, June 11th, 2009yep.. 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.

rickey hendersons empty drink bottle?
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009evidently 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..
Saturday, April 4th, 2009yeah 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..
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009cheap, 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..
