Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread

[FrostyCollects]

This is a really fun thread....plenty of awesome Ripken cards to look at. Too bad quite a few old posts have broken/missing pics.

Were there ever any dual auto cards for Jr and Sr?

There are no pack certified dual autos of jr and sr. There are a few handsigned fleer cards that have sold over the years of cal jr, bill, and cal sr that were signed by all three.

Sales value of a 2000 Bowman Chrome Retro refractor of Ripken? I saw a Jeter that sold for $150. Would Ripken be in that ballpark?

Just got this one, it is my nicest jumbo patch of all the Ripkens I have-

:drool

 

[FrostyCollects]

Disregard.

Is anyone here interested in this Cal before I list it?

So excited to finally cross this one off my checklist!

Nice, congrats! Love the Kitty Clover (as well as the other '85 discs)

Ha...I used to have a complete set of those Kitty Clover discs. I used to collect pre-90s collectible food-related discs/coins. Used to have several sealed examples of 1960s Bullwinkle & Rocky coins from Old London and stuff like that. Sold an entire collection to another collector years ago. Seeing that makes me kind of want to get the Trammell one again...

Good score!

I bought this Ripken awhile back and it is the only example I have ever seen. Has anyone else ever run accross a copy of this card? I think its somewhat rare.

I don't really collect cards anymore but still have a few saved searches. Saw this pop up, WTBV Blue Border PSA 8:

Looks fake though? I have a PSA 6 and my O's logo is clear orange while this is almost red. Disappointing to see PSA slabbing fakes, what's the collector consensus opinion here?

 

[miguelcabrera]

any of you guys pickup one of the top 5 ripken cards of all time?

Um. Nope not me.
It's not a card by the way.

Has anyone picked up any of those very nice Ripken Museum Metal autographs?

The card appears to be fake to me as well. According to what I have read from ripkenintheminors, the top white line should have a wrinkle in it. It should not be a perfect straight line. This one appears to have this perfect line.

Looks off to me as well. The "O", the white top border, plus the letters font on his name and position. I actually posted about it on the PSA forums before I posted over here. Had a side by side shot on there with a legit one and they are definitely off.

yeh thats true. i guess what I meant to say was 2nd best ripken item overall after the jersey he wore when the broke the streak. that jersey and this piece are just so nice

Not a good situation about the Ripken WBTV. It appears a TCMA was graded at the same time. Would be bad news if counterfeit WBTV AND TCMA cards found their way in PSA holders. The only good news is that PSA will buy back counterfeits in their slabs as long as the slab has not been tampered with.

 

[RITM]

That WBTV sold for a ton.

Yeah, someone got hosed...
