Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread

[tunahead]

Looks like all of them... but I can go through them better tomorrow. The only thing that might be missing is I know there's a glossy version of at least one of them.

Beautiful card,would be nicer if he had put "iron man" instead of "2632 CG"

This Ripken was listed for maybe 2-3 minutes and I wasn't about to let it stay there. Hit the BIN at $120. THRILLED about this one. Pretty tough card.

Saw that you had this card listed again, didn't like it or what?

Sweet! What did that end for? I know me and bigal were watching it at one point.

I posted this in the Help thread but I figured I would post it here to, since I have a pull to show. If any of you Ripken collector want to check out my Ripken Collection on my trade page I have some nice jerseys and some inserts that are always for trade

AND MY PULL (Goodwin Mini black printing plate 1/1)

 

[tunahead]

Nice buy on the proof Russ.

I sent another pair of '82 Topps rookie cards to Bobby Bonner and he included a signed pamphlet about his playing days and current ministry. Plan on reading it tonight.

Recently I interviewed the guy who created the 1981 Rochester TCMA cards. In the process I asked if I could send him something to sign and he agreed. I opted to print a custom 1981 TCMA card of Cal. Here's how it looked once it was printed and how it looked signed. Probably not a huge deal for a lot but considering that I pretty much stick to the minor league stuff I was thrilled with it. I thought about getting a real TCMA card signed by Mike and Cal but I may just send this one for Cal to sign.

Ripken collectors, I have a question for you.

I bought a Cal Ripken Jr. card today at my LCS. It's from 1995 Pacific Collection. It is not the Gold Prism. I do not have scan of it as yet, but it has a prismy type design on the front, with Ripken in batting stance with bat above his head.

I am wondering if it is the 1995 Pacific Latinos Destacados, #10 and the background is in Spanish. with the same info in English right next to it.

I looked up the checklist, it is not the Latinos Destacados as Ripken is not in the set. I am clueless.

Any clues?

 

[darrend505]

scans coming today.

 

[darrend505]

Not scans, but have yet to be by a scanner. Took these on my phone.

1995 Pacific Prisim. According to my SCD it has both Spanish and English on backs. The picture looks the same as in the book.
Ripken books for 5 bucks.

Well crap, I'm glad I only paid 5 bucks for it then. Thought I had maybe found something.

Looking back through this thread, I'm surprised I haven't posted anything before. I'm not a Ripken collector per se, but he's one of those "keeper" kind of guys. Whatever I pull, I keep. But if some of these cards are of interest to you real fans, PM me. Anyway, here's some of my fave inserts and such.

Hard Hat #2675/5000, UD Immaculate Perception #0978/1000.

A favorite old Beckett cover.

And a redeemed winning Predictor card. Still has the protective coating on it, so it looks cloudy.

PM sent Greg.
