My Quest for every R.A. Dickey card

As most people know, either from Beckett Magazine or several sports card forums, I consider myself a R.A. Dickey 'Supercollector'.  A little silly?  Yes... But you know what?  I don't care what smirks that 'title' gets.  I enjoy hunting for every R.A. Dickey card.  I enjoy looking at what I have amassed and take a sense of pride in my achievement.  That is the point of this hobby, no? 

I have been an R.A. Dickey collector since roughly 1997 (12 years old).  The main reason being is because we have the same last name.  At 12 years old and only having one baseball player in the show that shares the same name; it's kind of a big deal :)...  So throughout the years I have collected and searched for his rarest cards.  Until recently it has been quite quiet and CHEAP.  Not anymore....  Now that R.A. has completed the best season of his career his cards have become increasingly difficult to acquire either because I just don't see them in time (eBay) or they go for way above what I can afford. 

Nevertheless, I will continue my hunt and do my best to get every single R.A. card that I do not have already (which isn't much) hahaha  SO!!!! If you come across any R.A. Dickey cards and you think I might need/want them, please give me a heads up!
