When I get home from work tonight I will post it.

Sent from my HTCEVODesign4G using Freedom Card Board mobile app

even tho the math is there, dont seem right
In 1997, Pinnacle had a home run prize sweepstakes.
The first 1000 winners received Andruw Jones autos,
and the next 3000 winners received a 10 pack of the
upgraded Swing For The Fences Gold Foil cards. The
SFTF cards were an insert set of 60 cards. So,
3000 packs X 10 cards per pack is 30,000 gold cards.
Dividing by 60 cards, that means only 500 of each
gold card were produced.

No possible way 4,000 winners were received by Pinnacle. The Andruw autos are plentiful, but the gold foil cards are much more difficult to find.

I just got the card in the mail today. Bet the next card won't sell so cheaply.

Has anyone ever purchased and used a Ripken checklist on eBay? I know there's a few available for a couple bucks but how are they?

Hi Ripken collectors,

You guys/gals migth want to keep an eye in the Upper Echelon thread. I will be bumping a Ripken item for the last time. If anyone wants that item just read post #1 for the rules and let me know.

I think this device used to be called a phone; don't know anymore!
