[h2oya311]

I've seen most and have been fortunate enough to buy some of the toughest Rickey Henderson cards out there, including the 1977 Chong, the '82 Topps Blackless, the 1982 Fleer Test, 1984 Topps "Proof" (Head-in-Box), and the 1992 Procter & Gamble Promo...BUT...I still have never seen (but would be willing to pay a nice sum for) the:

1990 Donruss Aqueous Test

Anyone have one or know of one, please let me know!

Thanks!!!

I wouldn't mind finding a reasonably priced 1986 Donruss Highlights White Letter variation Bo Jackson.. Don't see too many reasonably priced ones though..

I had a "find" of 1981-1983 Fleer Proof sheets back in 1987. In the 100 or so sheets were 2 complete blank back proof sets (2 sheets to a set) of the 1981Fleer Stickers. The Rickey Henderson had his photo, but listed Steve Henderson Mets. There were a few other players that were different. I cut one set and sold the other set in an Alan Rosen Auction around 1989-90. Don't know if more than 2 exist but it was a really cool item! I think he was at the bottom corner of the sheet as well so it would have color bars.

1973 Sherbrooke Pirates - anyone ever seen this minor league team issue?

I wish I took more pics and had a decent camera at the time. I took a few pics of the sheets and some of the unissued proofs, but most of those had bad flash spots. Things are so easy now with digital.

This is the card that I am looking for. I realize that none were signed. I need the redemption card.

Only one (or two, depending on how a sheet is actually defined) full sheet (264 cards) of the 1990 Donruss set was done in the Aqueous Test "set". The cards were the first 10 MVPs and certain cards from 1-283. Rickey doesn't have an Aqueous Test card.

Thanks to you (and another poster) for setting me straight. I also reached out to Brad Abbott (owner of rickeyhendersoncollectibles.com) and he said the same. I suspect the more recent SCD Price Guides have been updated accordingly. I had found Henderson checklisted in the 2003 SCD Guide.

All the best.
