Incredible and awesome accomplishment!

Why did Ripken write "2632 CG" and not the nickname printed on the card, "The Iron Man," like the rest of the players wrote their nickname? I thought that was the point of the set.

Maybe some of the other /10 Ripkens have the Iron Man inscription. Now you have to chase another possible card! ;)

There are a few in this set that didn't sign what's printed on the card.

And there are two that ONLY signed their nickname

Then of course Maddux who is the only one in the set (and product) that used black ink. And man, if there's a different inscription out there I'm in trouble and will need a small loan!

Do you / anyone know the story why Musial has the inscription he does vs "the Man" ?

I don't know, there are a few that make me scratch my head. That would have been a great question for UD 9 years ago...guess I missed the boat on that one!

Thanks again everyone!

There is no way that Maddux says Mad Dog :D

I think I see it...the M in Maddux matches the first "letter" and after that I can see two d's and a G at the end. But that's after studying it for a while!

Tanks again everyone, I really appreciate the congrats!
