Here is my R.A. Dickey PC.. It's starting to get harder to find these older rare cards. I can't find any of the 2005 plates anywhere haha. Hope you like it. Here is my web page featuring have and want lists!!: http://dickeyscollection.webs.com/
As far as why I chose to collect Dickey. Well it's kind of silly, but when I was eleven years old (when he was drafted) I thought it was the coolest thing that only one Major league baseball player had the same last name as me. That's really how it started. He was a pitcher and so was I... I followed him over the years and watched him go up and down between the majors and minors.. I remember watching the game on TV where he was transitioning over to the knuckleball and he gave up 6 homers in one inning haha. Felt bad for him and at the same time was wondering why the hell he was left in the game... I started working for the Mets in 2009 and when I found out we signed him in 2010 I was very excited! That's the story in a nutshell really..
The following is what I currently have:
Different Cards (Listed in Beckett): 42/75 (56%) (26 of which I do NOT have are 1/1’s, mainly plates)
