Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread

[CubsFan13]

Sick Cards!

But is that a Jason Bay auto on the Flair 1/1 auto laundry tag?

Yep, it is. Tried to take it back to Fleer/Flair back in 2005, and it told me that it can't do anything with this card, so I decided why not - I will keep this ridiculous error 1/1 card...

Thats crazy! You think they just could have pulled the Bay sticker off and put on a RIpken though.

Still a pretty unique card

Yea, I was thinking of that - I do remember I decided not to buy anymore Flair cards anymore... Thanks, dude.

Great stuff Bobby. Thanks for sharing. Love them all.
Really digging the Error Auto, Gehrig/Ripken Dual, and the Ultimate (they are sexy!)

I know these Ripkens were desperate to be scanned to the public... Thanks for the kind words, Russ, and I always enjoy checking your sig out!

Quick question for you guys, is there any checklist for Cal Ripken collectors? I have no desire to try and get them all, but it'd be nice if there was a list so I could start marking off which ones I have. If anyone has anything, I'd appreciate it, even if it is by no means complete. Realistically, I'm probably just going for the 80s and 90s anyway, and may grab a few /25s or so from 2000 and beyond.

You could check on Beckett.com, but I haven't seen the newer version of Beckett.com yet. There are thousands and thousands of Ripken cards...

I have a checklist good up till late 2007. Need an updated as well.
I'd be more that happy to send it an email.
Drop me a PM.

Anyone else notice the Panini Century cards show Cal in a minor league uniform?

Very nice sweet spot!

I need to get some of the century cards since they have a minor league reference.

Received the 1981 WTF Bonner, Schneider and checklist. Already had a 2001 all star ticket to send to Cal. Not sure if I want to send the ticket and checklist.

 

[Russ S.]

Have a beaut incoming. Stay tuned.

Are you asking for a Cal Ripken checklist or a checklist of Cal Ripken Collectors?

 

[EricInCT]

anyone know what a cal ripken masterpieces 2008 auto /25 with a 3 color patch would go for?

 

[Russ S.]

Did you get the Charlotte minor league card?!

Nope. I wish, but i'm always leery of buying a fake, so I mostly stay clear from those.
I'll contact the pros when I'm ready to buy a Milb.

Not the card I'll be posting.
