Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread

[bigalbert]

I finally got this set put together. Someone had been buying all the k's and I had been out bid on 8 others and so this one came my way. I gave more than an on card sp auto of cal for a letter k/25. crazy, huh?

Nice vid Russ.
Did you see they threw the next card right on top of the first one? Me thinks there could be some black on the back of #2 as he presses down on it.

 

[Russ S.]

Good Point AL.
Hopefully there aren't alot of smeared hand prints!

If this was hand auto'd also instead of a copied auto it would be pretty much a have to have as a ripken collector. Since it isn't and there are 100 of them I'll wait it out.

Need some opinions on this one from the Ripken experts. Is it the promo?

Looks to be, the best way to tell is that black chunk of dirt under the "R" in Ripken. On the non promo it touches the orange-red band, and as you can see on your scan there is a gap

Not cards but a couple of the earliest Ripken items. A 1978 Bluefield Orioles Scorecard and a 1978 Sun Magazine

1995 Pinnacle Holofoil Artist Proof. Anybody seen any of these? When I bought this the guy also had a Bonds Swingmen and I have seen the Thomas on a collectors website.

I have a copy of that card in my collection. If I remember correctly they are all made that way with no variations.

I did not know there is that ^^^^^ His claim might be valid as I have the non-shiny variation.

All the ones I have seen except for the three I mentioned above have looked like this one that Calripkenjrcollector posted with a flat silver finish.

Hey Ripken collectors!

I may have a bead on a 1996 Upper Deck Diamond Destiny Gold. I want to pick it up for resale and didn't know what I should offer the guy.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
