I need your help!!!!!

Have any of you come across this card:

2000 Upper Deck Hitters Club Cal Ripken Jr. autograph

Beckett indicates that this was an SP but I have never seen one!
I figured that I would go to the authority on all things Cal, YOU GUYS!!!!

I am doubting the existence but perhaps I can be proven wrong.

I am trying to complete that set and need the Brett and Aaron and the Ripken if it exists.
Please help. If it does exist, could someone provide a scan?

Thanks,
Keith

I also put that set together Keith. I never saw Ripken and I searched quite a few years. I still need Murray for my set, and of course Ripken. I just assumed it's either serverely short printed or doesn't exist. The big Beckett I have doesn't even list a price next to Ripken. Hopefully, the Ripken guys can confirm it exists at least, but I bet it's a real tough one if it does.

Russ - I can't find any info anywhere on print run and or existence.

Nolan - It's a beautiful set. Needing only the Brett and Aaron will be a challenge but hopefully I can find them. I will be on the lookout for the Murray.

Interesting that they don't list:

Willie Mays
Hank Aaron

Here is the Mays

I don't have the Aaron but I have been outbid so I know it exists.

I love how even some modern sets hold mysteries as to which cards actually exist in them and have inaccurate checklists!

How many Mays and aaron have you seen come up for sale. Never seen those before. Any guess on the print runs? less than 25?

Great question.
I was lucky enough to grab the Mays at a show last year for $130.
I have seen at least 2 Aaron's on eBay since I started the set almost 1 1/2 ago.

Guy at the local show had the Mays and Aaron. I almost bought them because they were nice on card autos. I think I could have had them both for 300 but I dont carry a lot of cash to these small shows and the guy was packing up when I got there. Said people were being too cheap. I'll check next month to see if he still has them. I'd rather a set collector get them and I can pick one up for my PC later.

Hey - I don't care... And I didn't know there's a player collectors list in FCB... ::facepalm::
