My Bucky Dent connection
So, my dad and I work in the same office building. I got a call from him this morning and he says "Hey, come by my desk I have a present for you from your brother". I go upstairs and he reaches in his shirt pocket and pulls out two Bucky Dent cards and hands them to me. One is signed to my dad...- ripken2131_8

Ebay question
Hey guys I'm currently dealing with a knuckle head who appears to be suffering from buyers remorse over $15. He's now asking me if he could pay me $8 "for my troubles" and I relist it. So, since I know eBay doesn't give a crap about sellers and I don't want to get neg-ed over $15 I'd rather...- ripken2131_8

Desert Shield fakes
Hey guys Can any of you guys shed some light on how to spot a fake? I'd eventually like to get Cal's 2 in the set, but I obviously don't want to get duped. I've heard there's been a lot of forgeries in this set too. Is there anything I need to look out for?- ripken2131_8

Preserving an auto on a ball
Hey guys I have a ball my dad got signed by Cal several years ago and over time the auto has faded significantly. I currently keep it in a ball cube in one of my locked safes, so light obviously isn't what's causing it. I'm assuming it's just from a crappy pen. Is there anything I can do to...- ripken2131_8

What is your favorite baseball card memory?
When my buddy Jeremy (cubuffs13) pulled the 1997 green Cramer's Choice Griffey. I was 11, so he was probably like 13. Yeah, we both pretty much sh*t our pants over that one.- ripken2131_8

Looking for some organization tips from player collectors
I keep all of my high end cards in fire/waterproof lock boxes. I'd like to keep them separated by year so I can easily find certain cards and find where new cards need to go. I've tried using rubberbands and writing the year on them, but they eventually dry out and snap (you can see the remnants...- ripken2131_8

If you didn't spend money on cards, what would you spend it on?
My girlfriend wants me to say her. LOL, let's be serious for a minute honey, I can't let this card go for only THAT much! That's such a deal!- ripken2131_8

Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread
I have a question one of you guys may be able to answer for me. I've recently thought about getting milestone ticket stubs from games 1, 2130, 2131, 2632, 400 HR, 3000 Hits, etc. But what's the deal with all of the 3000 hit tickets? And they all have COAs? It just struck me as kind of strange. I...- ripken2131_8

Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread
I'm questioning the legitimacy of this dudes listing based simply on the fact that he refers to the Police Ripken as his "red" rookie. You would think for someone with such a ridiculous collection he would do more to sell it that one crummy picture and a shoddy description. How can you expect...- ripken2131_8
