Rickey Henderson Card Tribute

I didn't see a Rickey card memorial thread so I'll start it. The first Topps year I really got into was 1980. The Rickey card always stood out to me because the yellow and green color combo almost made the card "glow". I didn't realize that Rickey was the one that made the card glow. I bought this in 2008 because I thought PSA 10s were too much, I was wrong!

Looking to buy one….nice Rickey Rookie, ndleo!
Sad news in deed
the 1980 Topps rookie is my favorite baseball card
collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.
looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started
I just purchased a copy (933xxxxx) from Baseball Card Exchange. I will include it in the January pickups when it arrives.
Rickey has always been one of my favorites and his Topps RC is simply the one to own. Iconic image of his unique batting stance. Sad he passed far too early.
RIP Rickey. You are the greatest.
Griffey had some heartfelt thoughts for one of his idols.

Nice run of Rickey’s
Iconic card, colors, image. Always thought it was cool that his right hand was just about to grip the bat.
I don't have any Rickey Henderson cards to share as my collection is pre-1980. What a great player he was though. One of the few bright spots on the Yankees during their dark period of the mid-late 1980's. He is gone way too young.
Has there ever been a player where every card was probably the coolest of any issue he was a part of?
The dude just never had a bad looking card. The GOAT as far as I’m concerned
Here is mine which I bought this morning from BBCE...
The card has very nice color, spot on registration, beautiful centering...it does have to (2) print fish eyes in dugout background. I will check out corners when I have the card in hand.
Check out how many purchases of 1980 Topps Rickey Henderson RC on Ebay since his passing...impressive.
Well over 600 various PSA graded examples in 2 days since the news broke.
here is my henderson. i have had this one for awhile now.
Henderson is my all-time favorite. My holy grail is his rookie in a 10.
Almost sold this one recently, glad I didn’t

His 1977 card was always like the Honus Wagner of minor league baseball cards. Hard to find and has an “art like” nostalgia look to it. RIP GOAT 🐐
His '79 rookie season was the first full season I followed MLB. Ahh, gettin' old. His rookie card protects my Lance Alworth RC. Rickey was special.
Love it!
