If you find 2 reds and decide you can live without one, feel free to let me know.

alright so i have a question for the ripken collectors...is there any ripken/gwynn dual on card autos?

Not that I am aware of. The nicest sticker dual is the Premier one IMO.

Not that I've ever seen either.
Agreed on the Premier looking best.

You mean these? Two of few 2008 UD Premier Ripkens I own...

 

[bigalbert]

Excel_b- yes the Gwynn/Ripken from 2008 premier is the one I was referring to.

I recently completed the 2008 Heroes Ripken auto rainbow. I also snagged one that is a lightblue #'d out of 75, these were supposed to be numbered out of 35 and is the only one I have ever seen. I assume it got stamped with the wrong serial number for some reason or other. So instead of the 7 that are listed in beckett I have 8 different versions. Here they are-
#'d/25

#'d/35

#'d/25

#'d/5

#'d/25

#'d/10

#'d/75

#'d/5

Hello great minds of FCB. I'm a Hall of Fame autograph collector and only buy on card Topps and Upper Deck autos. Ripken is one of the best ever so I want an attractive on card autograph. Any suggestions?

Good for you. I was hoping it found a good home.

Here are a few suggestions for you, all are not neccessarily on card but were hand held while being auto'd. 2009 Ultimate has some nice ones.

Thanks Big Albert. I love the look of the Ultimate Collections. VERY nice.

 

[excel_B]

Finally the FINAL card for my complete set!!! Special thanks to OnlytheFinest!

Unreal. And the description said he'd throw in a green if the BIN was hit. I wonder what the original BIN was at. Either way, kudos to the dude making the offer to be willing to sit back and wait. I would've jumped all over that auction had I seen it and definitely more than $600.
