Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread

My small Ripken PC:

Somehow I missed a Ripken Red Crusade on ebay. :benson: :benson: :benson: :benson:

And it sold for $600!?!?!?!

Best Offer? :shock: :shock:
That seller lost a TON of $$$$

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.

What's a card like that worth?

If at auction, $1 - 1.5K easy.
I know a few collectors still looking for it.

The card was listed in the Collectibles category, so if searching only sports mem. and cards it did not show up.

You get it Al?
It was a hell of a steal.

Hopefully no one from here got this card.. ::facepalm::
In the description, they say it's a sleeve patch, but the card just reads "Game Used Jersey" and it's numbered 43/150..

Russ is going to get his wish of seeing what a red Ripken would bring at auction.

Can't remember if it is the same one but if it is I will wager that the seller will have a bid of what they boiught it for within the first 24 hours. Merry Christmas to those hoping to land it as a gift to self.

17 bids.6 days left and is at $560. This should be fun to watch!
I had no doubt that the $600 BO was a steal.
People think I'm nuts, but I know my Cals.

 

[RITM]

Not sure how involved I will be in the bidding after a couple of unexpected buys tonight.

Received an e-mail from a collector that landed this. I think he got a pretty solid price...

That is a pretty easy neat idea for a piece.
What did the buyer email you about?
