Can you take one of the back of the plate please? I believe that to be an R&N China plate vs. a Kelloggs.

It’s not mine. It’s an ad on Marketplace…

But that would explain why I couldn’t find any info on it…

Yeah, that's 1990 R&N China Rookie Ball plate. Looks like this in a somewhat clearer pic

Ok, thanks guys!

Are my eyes deceiving me, or does the position on that card say "Shontstop"? ...as in "you shon't stop that man" :-D

Fixed.

That one was only available via mail-in offer (which is why is has no tabs at the bottom). I have it in the entire team set SWEET. If you got the one with a real autograph (not the facsimile)... that was the Grand Prize (1of1). I wish that would surface so I could see what it looks like and if it even exists.

Here's a fun 1-of-1 that I came across in my pictures collection... its the 1-of-1 Artist Original Artwork from 2003 Playoff Portraits (#13), including the redemption card for it.

Hard to believe only 14 of the facsimile have ever been graded. Never a 10, only (7) 9’s. Wonder what the PR of these were, but must be low.

Hey if anyone wants a cheap serial numbered card (SN125) with Rickey having a guest appearance on the front, use this as search text in ebay: "2003 Upper Deck MVP Gold Brandon Phillips #61". Happy hunting

 

[rickey939]

Grabbed it. Thanks!

I'll give you another one that is hard to come by (SN25) and with a relatively cheap starting bid. If you want to see a card with Rickey as an "honorable mention" on the back, search ebay for "Carl Crawford 2005 Playoff Prestige Xtra Bases" (which I think is ebay Item # 196436373378). Good luck!

Finally landed this tough one:

Always fun to get one you've been hunting. From the same set, you can hunt this one where Rickey is mentioned on the back.

 

[Leffer]

I'll give you another fun Rickey guest appearance, on a relatively low serial numbered card: Search "1999 Upper Deck Exclusives #66 Ray Durham" on ebay. The current bid is low and shipping is low. I already have this one, so won't be bidding it up. Happy hunting

Oooh... check this out. In going through my rolodex of pictures and synching it to my checklist, I found a Rickey that does not appear on any official checklist (at least none that I could find). 2004 Donruss Diamond Kings #153 Sepia - DK Signatures Framed Platinum Grey (1of1). Rickey had many variations of the DK Combos (an autograph combined with a jersey and bat relic) in the set, but if when trying to find this (just an autograph... no relics) on a checklist... I couldn't find it.

Ihave pictures of the Sepia DK Combos variation for the Framed Gold, Framed Platinum Black, Framed Platinum White, and Framed Silver (all of which have relics in addition to the auto). Is it possible that this is an error card, and SHOULD have relics in the lower corners, but they forgot to add them to the card?

 

[rickey939]

That’s cool! Love it.

Here's what the DK Combos look like

The mystery one is also a black sharpie (all others in the set are blue) AND he added a #24 to the auto (which he didn't do for any other). Intriguing... (although I am probably too intrigued by a genuine Donruss processing screwup)
