Brad 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.

i’ve listed my Rickey PSA stuff for sale on eBay.. most of it i’ve listed with Buy-It-Now prices, but i’ll run a few auctions also, probably in a day or so whenever i get a chance to list more stuff.. click here to see my eBay listings..

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+)..
watch 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.”
first 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.
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.
1998 was one of my “absentee” collecting years, I kinda didn’t collect much from 1995-2002 for various of reasons.. (mostly chicks & booze)..
check out the scans in my photo gallery:
1998 Donruss Gold Press Proof #236 RICKEY HENDERSON
1998 Donruss Silver Press Proof #118 RICKEY HENDERSON
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.
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..
i picked up this bgs 9.5 1997 Pinnacle “Mirror Gold” #65 of Ron Gant.. only cost a few bucks..
i also got Chachi Arcola’s autograph on the cheap.. dude has banged like half of the chicks in hollywood..
