Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread

[RITM]

Here's a scan of the 2001 All-Star game ticket. There is a holographic foil that jumps out in person. Not sure if I will get this in Cal's next signing but I look forward to seeing this signed:

Just won these along with a couple of National Treasures Basketball cards:

And a sweet pick-up for my PC - one of many 1/1's

Was curious if anyone on here would be interested in some Cal Ripken Jr. Investor's Journal cards. I have 8 different cards of him along with one sports report card. Two of the investor journal cards are the harder to find Blue and Purple foil cards. I would be willing to trade for McGwire cards or sell if anyone is interested. I had a hard time finding the McGwire purple foil and had to purchase a lot to get it so thought maybe someone on here would be interested.

Just finished off these as part of my insane-o attempt at the 08 triple threads vet/HOF auto/relic set:

A stupid question. I have pulled a few Ripkens in my time (no autos yet) but i have this one GU that I was told is very rare. I was just wondering if any of you Ripken collectros had it? beacuse if not maybe it is rare:

Thanks....

After a ton of procrastination on my part, I finally have a video gallery set up with edited video clips rather than one long clip. Each clip has been split and put in its own file. Most of you have probably seen the entire clip already but I wanted to point this new page out. You will find the following clips:

1. Live game footage of Cal from the 1981 season and interviews with Cal from 1982
2. An exhibition game between the Orioles and Red Wings
3. Postgame footage of Cal and Dan Logan in the dugout at Silver Stadium

Here's the link

I totally forgot about this thread! But I can finally say that I landed my most coveted Ripken card I've ever wanted! It may not be much to you high rollers but to me, its been a hell of a time trying to track this down. I don't buy on ebay so it makes it even harder to find it at shows. But thanks to good ole Randy Shields from these boards, I can say I finally have it in hand!

Here we go! Sorry about the Blackberry pic!

Hello all! Has anyone ever seen a Cal Ripken Jr. Autograph from 2000 Upper Deck Hitter's club (like the cards in my signature)? I am working on this set, but I'm starting to wonder if this card exists as I have never seen one. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Scott

Since I own more than 2,300 Ripken cards, I do not have this card or have not seen this card exist before. Perhaps there are no such Upper Deck Hitter's Club autograph card of Cal Ripken JR?
