1982 Topps Rickey Henderson #610

How I Arrived at the Hobby Score

This card received a 77.5 overall Hobby Score.

The 1982 Topps Rickey Henderson #610 is the third-year card of baseball’s all-time stolen base king. By this time, Henderson had already posted back-to-back 100+ steal seasons, establishing himself as one of the most disruptive forces in the game. The card features a classic Topps design with Rickey mid-stride, highlighting the speed and confidence that defined his game.

Still, Henderson remained a larger-than-life figure. A fun anecdote: Rickey once framed a $1 million bonus check and forgot to cash it — a perfect summary of how little traditional norms applied to Rickey’s world. The 1982 Topps card scores a 76 for solid collector relevance, though it’s overshadowed by both his rookie and early key cards.
