Finding the black and white in a 9 is crazy (mine is an 8) but finding the blue in an 8 is even more amazing.

Did you see the PSA 10 of the black and white WTF? I wonder what the chances are of the PSA 10 and the BGS 9's being sheet cut...

Scored a nice Goudey Rip tonight, but lost out on the other I was bidding on. Oh well, it's a good start.

I did however notice that this card wasn't listed in Beckett... is it a SP or something? It was listed as a 2007.. is it not a 2007 or am I just missing something?

For the longest time, my best ripken was a base card:

Got this one at a shop for a buck a couple years back:

These are pretty cool:

This one's amazing in person. I'll probably ebay it as it has a crack where the die cut is sharp, which seems to be common with these:

This one I want to sell:

I loved pinnacle mint as a kid but never pulled anything good out of it. This is one of my favorites as it really "glows":

Of course it comes as no shock that I am a fan of the minor league stuff. It's been awhile since I've posted online so I may or may not have shown this off. After finishing a big year at Miami in 1979 Cal joined the Charlotte O's for a few games. I own another Charlotte O's pennant in less than good condition with no date. This one has a small bend or two but I was thrilled to get it. Not sure what will become of it:
