Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3
Great stuff! Just for your cataloging accuracy, your 1998 Flair Showcase Legacy Collection Row 0 is one of the backdoored/after-market stamped variations. The "legitimate" versions have the serial numbering along the left side and includes Ripken's name in foil above the stats block. Not sure... -

Official Error and Variation Discussion/Reference Thread
INC/INC. variations exist for all the 1992 Donruss Ripken cards except for the Diamond Kings. There is also another subtle variation adding another layer of cards to chase. The name on the front of the cards (again all except the Diamond Kings) shows a variation of color...one is a lighter... -

I got my guy about a year ago as well... Interestingly enough the word "SAMPLE" is written differently on the back of mine vs. yours. It's certainly possible that someone would add the word SAMPLE aftermarket as I also have Ripken's Heroes of the Game card from the same set and it's a blank... -

Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread
Cool. I let my membership lapse after his 2007 induction. According to the HoF website, the litho is exclusive to Patron, President's Circle and Benefactor members and is limited to 2500. If you have a chance, can you post a picture of it? They just show the litho itself on the website, but... -

True. Can't recall the exact situation, but believe it boils down to a printing issue with the portable press they used on site at the HoF to stamp these. Others here may be able to provide more details. -

A very BIG THANK YOU to magicpapa for helping me cross off another tough card for my PC! This one has been a bugger for me to track down, but no more! :) -

RustyGreerFan...Or a Ripken True Grit? In all the years I've been searching for one, the ONLY one I've ever seen is from your collection. Would love to cross that one off my list. -

I'd be ok with $35 for a BGS 9.5 of either version. Overall, any of the Red/Red test issue versions are pretty hard to come by and are usually pretty condition sensitive. I think I had my ungraded Belle glossy listed a while back for ~$20 so if you can get it for close to the starting bid... -

The Buckner side looks like the glossy side to me. I have both glossy/dull versions of Belle/Buckner and when I compare the (bad) listing images with mine, it looks to me that Buckner is glossy because the coloring is brighter. Since they're double fronts, the "back" is relative, but usually... -

~$10-$15 is generally what I've seen it go for in the past. Think I got mine for ~$8 back in 2013. -

Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread
I have it listed as 1983...Both this one and the 3x5 head shot. Certainly hard to identify with no copyright anywhere, but the commonly held belief is that this set was created in 1983. -

I wondered the same thing so I compared what I had against COMC for my player along with a few other players. Regardless of the player, all tiers used the same question. So in other words, all bronze cards used the same question, all silver used the same, etc. My sampling wasn't huge so if... -

Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3
Anyone ever read the backs of the 1996 Stadium Club Extreme Player redemption cards? I find it interesting/funny that Canadian residents were required to also solve a "skill-testing" math question (last sentence of the first paragraph). Here's the back of the Silver version. I have all... -

Correct. It comes from the 2001 Fleer Cal Ripken Career Highlights Glossy set (the black box #'d /2632 not the orange one #'d /50,000). Inside the boxes you would get two random memorabilia cards from a set of four (bat, white jsy, orange jsy variation, or auto). Here are examples of all four... -

The $35 one is the same as the $29.99 (glossy Belle side), only it's graded. The ungraded one has better centering.
