good or bad buy on this Henderson rookie???

Rickey was my baseball hero growing up. when i was eight my mom had a rummage sale and i sold lots of my toys so i could go to the lcs and buy his rookie for $80 . I've been waiting for a nice signed rookie since then, and i think i did good with this including inscription.

    I think the inscription alone is worth the price. Even if you did overpay (not saying you did because i do not know what his autos go for) I think it is one of the cooler autos. I say it was a good buy.

    Hmmmm, odd that he would write that. Rickey usually is a bit more modest about his accomplishments.

    (cool card, btw! -- no sarcasm)

  • over in scn there's a rickey signing at $85+$45 for inscription. i think you did fine, i've seen straight rickey signed cards go for that much. the seller has connections to rickey.

    Derrick ... I think you paid a good price for the card, especially with that inscription. The auto itself does not look real crisp, but I still think you got a real nice item. That's something that you should keep in your PC forever. It's not too often that you can obtain something so nice from your childhood idol. CONGRATS!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Nothing of Rickey's is overpriced. Rickey approves. Rickey is the greatest.

    I am a huge Rickey fan (my all time favorite player) so I approve of this message.
