Wow that blows about about the Orange Police card, sorry to hear that. I f'in hate collectors who don't play fair. I hope no one on these boards had the audacity to backdoor something.

Anyways, Ripken BGS 9.5 Red Crusade went up $3,275 BIN OBO today. No idea what it's worth but might be interesting if it sells:

It's mine.
It's the only BGS 9.5, so if you see it, it's mine. :0)

Already have an offer over $1K.

Posted up my Quantum Leaf & Stand Up Guys Sample as well.
Will be listing more soon.

Why are you selling Russ?

 

[RITM]

Russ, I will give you $100 for that red crusade. Cash money.

FWIW there is an orange Ripken on eBay but it is a collection sale. Gonna have to drop over $60k though.

Taking notes from Clarkfan on that Quantum Leap I see!

Ha Ha. He only thinks it's bad when I do it. I'd probably put a buy it now on Ripken Quantum Leap at $225 or so though, so he's a little higher than I'd be

Did anyone here win this a few weeks ago? If so please contact me.

I've already had an offer of $225 for it, so whatever.
I learn from the best I guess.

I only put high prices on the actually stuff that deserves it.

 

[jonebone]

Oh nice item Russ. Yeah I don't even collect cards like that anymore but I'd be down for $1k on the Ripken Red. If a casual collector like me values it that high, I'm sure it's worth substantially more. GL with the sales bud!

It seems like there are more and more Ripken collectors out there now... Racking up bids and increasing the cost of Ripken autos. Yikes!

Yes, I've noticed a huge increase the last few months.
Almost time to tap out I think.

The donruss preview was cheap imo. That card should have brought close to a grand.

Huh?
What did I miss?

 

[cbrandtw]

I thought it would go higher as well. I was watching it just out of curiosity. I thought about buying it but the auto wasn't top notch. I think that may have hindered it.

[Russ S.]

Found it. Never mind.

Same card I was working on about a month ago.
Guy wanted $1500 Paypal gift. I passed because of the auto.
Guy loss out. I offered more then it sold for.
Wish I would have seen it. Don't know why my saved searches didn't catch it. Grrrrr.

I actually considered trying for the Tribute Rainbow when I saw the Purple hit Ebay. I'm glad it went to a fellow Ripken Collector.
