Rickey Henderson Auto Opinion

[Polarboy]

Hey all it’s me again, on my quest for an auto of every hof in existence my sites are set on Rickey Henderson. I’ve got 2 photos of unathenticated autos, and would appreciate some help on their potential authenticity. You guys/gals rock, and thank you in advance! LONG LIVE THE HANCOCK!

Best Wishes,

Mark L.

The second one in gold is definitely bad and I would pass on the 84 Topps as well.

I'm not liking either one.

The 84T is closer but both are bad.

Appreciate the feedback! The search continues!

If you are looking for Rickey signed cards, try Tom Orr (Atomic Sports). He does regular private signings and usually has one or more with Rickey each year. He also lists lots of his cards on eBay. Good guy.

I don't see any Rickey autographed cards in his current auction, but here is a link to sold/completed auctions of his. If nothing else, you can see lots of authentic autos.

I agree that the above autographs look bad. If you need a Henderson signed card I actually have a extra that I had signed in person at an Angels game as a kid in 1997. I lucked out and was handed a spare ticket to that days player meet and greet, otherwise he would have been a tough get at the time. It’s his 1997 Fleer Metal where he’s featured as a member of the Padres. If you’re interested, let me know, and if not, best of luck with your search.

I’ll take a look, always appreciate the help! Rickey’s a legend and a hell of a player.

So this guy’s autos are legit? I’ll have to check em out, I’m always trying to find reputable IP auto sellers for my collection, so this is a big help. Thanks!

Yes, Tom holds multiple private signings every year. He's quite active on SportsCollectors.net and has a very good reputation on that site. Just note that Sportscollectors.net is a mostly a paid site - $14.99/year I believe. I've been a member there for a long time and it has definitely aided my collection.
