Nice additions, folks.

Finished reading Bottom of the 33rd last night. A solid read. If you are interested in the back stories of guys like Bob Ojeda and Drungo Hazewood you will love the book.

As far as the Aces card goes what brings about the skepticism? I have a friend who would be willing to help with any questions.

THat was actually an interesting thread over an BO...Do you Ripken guys know that Esaslo guy? Sounds like a good guy, and a big Ripken collector. I feel bad he is out $4,500! :shock:

I think the problem isn't whether the card was made but rather the number of auto'd copies that actually exist. In the early 90's 100 copies would have been a huge SP considering the way the presses were cranked on these ACE sets. No way are there only 2 copies of this auto. My feeling is they are laying around buried or unoticed or still in unopened decks.

Right on AL.
Definitely far from the Holy Grail. :lol:

"Cal Ripken will be in Seattle, Washington April 16 at Mill Creek Sports Cards signing autographs and will be taking a photo with this card."

:lol: I just want to see the look on Cal's face when he takes a picture with his "grail"...
