1980 Charlotte O’s Police Orange Border Cal Ripken Jr. PSA 4—The Holy Grail of Modern Minor League Cards
I wanted to make sure the resident Ripken fans knew about this listing for Cal's 1980 Charlotte O's Police card. Although it has a reserve, it is the first copy of this card listed in...

I have not been posting a lot of late but thought collectors might be interested in this. Cal's 1980 minor league cards have always been strong sellers but this recent run of sales is incredible.

Before anything, thank you so much to Liberate Baltimore for his assist with this. I have had the pleasure of knowing him for several years. He is a great collector and a fantastic person. The most recent assist is not the first time I have been the recipient of his generosity.
For those who do...
Greetings folks, I hope all is well. It has been a slow stretch on the Manning UT run and I had the opportunity to pick up several patch and jersey cards from the 2008 Donruss Classics "Old School Colors" set. I have always loved the look of the set and love that the cards feature game worn...
Wanted to share the latest addition with my friends here at FCB.
Although I was not in the market for another Manning logo I decided to jump on an opportunity last week. 2008 National Treasures logo stamped 1/1:
Mentioned that I was not really in the market but chose to get it anyways. You...
On the verge of the Super Bowl this was a fun addition.
In the original concept plan for 2007 Topps Football the intention was to have a 6 card set that featured a piece of GU football from Super Bowl XLI. Each card was to be serial numbered /99. Topps had issues getting enough footballs from...
Steve Kozel, creator of the 1981 WTF set, has been very gracious to share his recollections with RITM. In November of 2011, Steve came across the actual photographs used to create the legendary minor league set. The photographs were given to Steve from the Rochester Red Wings the day before the...
I have been so very fortunate to be able to do a Q & A with Cal in 2009 and 2010. Cal was gracious to do a third interview with me to be posted on my website. In the interview Cal shares his thoughts about his 1981 minor league trading cards, his 1980 Police card, "The Longest Game" and winter...
Been a rough day. On top of the headaches of the move and frustrations of the slow progress on the job search my dad got more bad news in regards to his recovery from the heart attack he had few months ago. He will be having heart surgery Monday. Drove up to the house late tonight and found an...
I apologize in advance for the delay. Whenever someone is nice enough to send some freebies they need to be thanked. Yet to get scans but received a very nice freebie package full of Ripken cards. A lot of good folks around here. Thanks for the generosity!
I have been behind on posting thanks to some great folks for some acts of generosity. Hopefully I can catch up today.
I received a note from Joel asking about my interest in a piece of Ripken memorabilia. Not knowing the value I had to rely on a Ripken expert for help. I offered the appraisal...
Heard from J about a couple of Manning UT finds at a show a week ago. Made a request to pick one of them up and received an e-mail from Chris saying that he purchased the card for me and had it ready to ship. You guys do not need me to tell you about the generosity of the guys on the football...

Going to be moving in the next few months and I want to test the water on this one. A signed UDA Numbers piece from Upper Deck Authenticated. It is framed, roughly 23 x 33 inches and I am the original owner. I have all of the paperwork from UDA as well. It is beautiful in person and has no...
I need a big favor from those able to go to the National. I have been working on my set of 1980 Charlotte O's Police cards for around 5 years. I am one card away from having the set completed. It is obviously not an easy find but I will pay a generous finder's fee to the first person who gets me...
As soon as I first heard of the idea of the 2011 Allen & Ginter state cards I wanted the card of my home state. Not the biggest fan of the fact that the card contains a Kentucky relic but still a great card. Serial numbered 19/50:
After buying it I decided it would be enjoyable to purchase...
