It's unreal. I've seen a few of his cards at the National in Chicago 3 years ago. Such amazing history

I think that about sums it up on a few levels.

[Jason]

He spent alot on the DBacks this offseason as well. Im glad he displays all those nice cards for the public instead of them never seeing the light of day.

[Dpeck100]

It says his collection numbers in the thousands. Uh no. Try well over 10 million.

[nat]

He says that he has high end versions of 16 of the 20 most valuable cards (not all baseball). So what are they?

T206 Wagner
T206 Plank
52 Topps Mantle
Cobb/Cobb


Beyond that I don't really know. Some of the cards from the Old Judge NY Giants set?

[pokerplyr80]

T210 jackson
14 ruth
16 ruth
34 lajoie
14 cj mathewson
14 cj Jackson and cobb (?)
48 leaf Robinson
48 leaf paige
51 mantle
51 mays
55 clemente

Not sure about the others

[pokerplyr80]

Football is the chicle nagurski and basketball is the Mikan rookie I believe

I don't know exactly what is in Kendrick's *entire* collection, but I know there were 41 cards in the Phoenix Art Museum exhibit.
I took a few pics, I wish I had taken one of all of them so I would not miss or forget any that were there. I will admit to being a bit star struck (especially by condition :eek:)
I'll eventually remember or figure out the other 7 cards, but I jotted down these 34 below...
These were SPECTACULAR!

Can you please provide me the grades of the cards you listed of his fantastic collection?

[familytoad]

Post war. ..everything was a PSA 10.
Prewar all 8 or 9.
Simply incredible.

[mrvster]

anyone know if he had any T206 proofs?????????????????????:confused:

[Jdoggs]

Post war. ..everything was a PSA 10.

Was the 51 bowman mantle a PSA 9 or 10?
Fantastic collection!

[irv]

I was just there about a week ago...stunning! I took pics of everything, I may post em here later. Could not believe how nice some of those t206's looked!

Please do! :)

[Jdoggs]

Please do! :)

Yes please post pics would be awesome to see them!

[Edwolf1963]

What, no high-grade T206 Dots Miller?? Meh - average collection at best.

;)

[the 'stache]

It says his collection numbers in the thousands. Uh no. Try well over 10 million.

The affable Diamondbacks owner declined to state the value of his collection, which numbers in the thousands.

It's a poorly worded sentence, but they're referring to the number of cards in his collection. :)

[njdunkin1]

Please do! :)

Yes please post pics would be awesome to see them!

As per request, here are some of the highlights. I'll post as many as I can whilst on lunch :) Some fantastic beauties here!

By far and away the most insane collection I've ever seen...gotta be at least 15 mil worth of cards here.

[Jdoggs]

Thank you so much for posting the beautiful pictures!!! I didn't know he owned the only 51 mantle PSA 10 in existence!!! Extremely fantastic collection!!!

[Jdoggs]

He's only missing 4 of the highest graded cards in the top 20 sportscards list.
The 4 he doesn't have in the highest grade:
Clemente rookie
Wilson Franks ted Williams
nagurski rookie
George Milan rookie

[familytoad]

Thanks to the photo gallery, I added 6 more to the list, which now sits at 40.

See post # 10 above with the updated list.

Since there are both high and low numbers of the 1938 Goudey DiMaggio card, I am not sure if I counted the cards to 41 while I was star struck looking at the collection in person!
I'll either recount or give up and call it 40:cool:

So, while I know that these are the top condition cards extant for these classic cards, and my (soon to be 15 after BST auctions) versions are all very low grade....how many do you guys have?

Aw, why don't we just ask Frank to create a Kendrick Monster Number Thread?
:p:p;)

[pokerplyr80]

I wouldn't have guessed the Wilson Frank's Williams was part of the top 20. Do you know what the other 16 are? I was just guessing when I tried to answer earlier in the thread.

[Jdoggs]

Yes:
T206 wagner
1952 mantle
1916 M101 Ruth sporting news
1933 lajoie
1951 mantle
T206 plank
1986 fleer jordan
1951 mays
Cracker jack shoeless joe
1933 goudey ruth
1934 gehrig
Cobb Turkey
satchel paige rookie
t205 cobb
1954 aaron
1941 joe dimaggio

Just an unbelievable accomplishment to already own 16 of the top 20 in the highest grade!

[pokerplyr80]

Thanks for posting that. I guess they're not counting the 1914 Ruth xrc. From what I understand it's almost worth what the t206 Wagner is grade for grade.

[alanu]

looks like I might have to make a drive to Phoenix, and get some golf in too.

[ValKehl]

Seems a shame to have a Top 20 that doesn't include a Matty or a WaJo!

[Dpeck100]

The affable Diamondbacks owner declined to state the value of his collection, which numbers in the thousands.

It's a poorly worded sentence, but they're referring to the number of cards in his collection. :)

I see. I didn't read the article and just saw the caption next to his smiling face.

Aside from the huge money cards I wonder if he collects any sets like the 1952 Topps or another marque set.

It looks like a quick read so I will check it out.

[darwinbulldog]

Yeah, who decided that a T205 Cobb was better than a T204 or T206 WaJo portrait? (Joe Orlando?) That's crazy talk.

With as much money as he makes, I'm sure the answer must be yes. I mean, if he's a lover of cardboard, as we all are, he has to be collecting other things as well. I can only imagine what and in what condition. I'm sure it's awesome, whatever it is.

I loved his comment about having to assassinate someone to get the cards. I find it so interesting that the trading card hobby is one where even a guy who has a net worth in excess of a billion dollars can't just go out and acquire any card he wants.

[Dpeck100]

http://www.psacard.com/articles/articleview/6852/man-collector-card-collection-ken-kendrick

Found this from a quick Google search.

[darwinbulldog]

Meh, not my cup of tea.

[irishdenny]

anyone know if he had any T206 proofs?????????????????????:confused:

I Don't Think So Johnny... Not that I know of,
Nor Could I find out if he had Any at All!
I would Not Doubt it though...
A Gentleman wit Moola like that has gotta have one... RiGHT!!!

There is a Gentleman that Resides in NYC,
The Last I Knew, He had Over 25 Proofs,
And that was over 10 years ago.
All of His Proofs Have the 4-6 Color Cross Hairs in the X-Y Axis,
"Remarkable Collection!"
I've email/Chatted wit Him for about 18 months back then.
He Bought my SL Jordan...
(The Only SL Proof that I know of, the one on OldCardboard!)
Mr. Jordan is what Brought us together.

Hmmm, I just check'd & Mr. Jordan is No Longer there!?

Does Anyone the Story...
About the Scans on Old Cardboard
& them No Longer Being There!?!?

Maybe The Gentleman wit the Proof Set Had it/them Pull'd?!?!
I Also Thought that He was the Winner of Leon's Matty!?

Anyone Know Who Won Leon's Proof of Mr. Mathewson?
Maybe KO?
Love to Find Out Aye!?

[iowadoc77]

That T205 Cobb
Un freaking believable.
Not sure I have ever seen such a nice T205.
Ridiculous really.

[Jdoggs]

His card collection is obviously the most valuable in the world.
Extremely amazing collection!!
