Yeah don't blame you. I thought I had a good deal at $26, you crushed that.

Looks like 2016 Donruss is setting up to be the most Donruss Ripken cards since 2008. 43 so far :benson:

I am not actively buying any New cards (2013 / 2014 / 2015 / 2016). I only have a handful of the newer ones. I have plenty of big gaps on the other years that I need/want to fill.

On another note, I was digging for some cards and look what I found. I know I can't retire on this (yet), but I don't have to pay for them.

1994 Select Salute - Two different colors?

Also the 1999 Fleer Brilliants. It's so obvious on the scan but on hand side by side, Night & Day difference. The one on the bottom have no dark color on the background at all.

 

[TheRipkenRepository]

Yeah I hear you on the new cards. I like to stay up to date with them all, but I don't buy them either unless it's a steal. Those are interesting variations, I'll have to check my versions.

Mail day:


Finally got a set of the bronze/silver/gold Highland Mint Ripken/Gehrig. The leaf clear blue /25 was a redemption and awarded a parallel upon fulfillment!

Yup lol, I searched that day and that was the only one. He wanted $95, talked him down to $65.

 

[Onthespotdetailing]

I saw it for $92 .. But I didn't want to pay that much. I never bothered to try and talk him down though. Good card

 

[TheRipkenRepository]

Now I just need the on deck circle to show up again lol

Picked up a 1999 Fleer Mystique Established /100 the other day. Refractor finish gives them a nice look in hand!

 

[cbrandtw]

^^^ I love that set. Congrats

 

[TheRipkenRepository]

Very nice!

 

[bigalbert]

[Onthespotdetailing]

It's a little over halfway of April and so far this year, here are my Ripken haul. Some of the scans have been posted before but I've added a lot to the PC. So far at this point, I bought more Autograph in three and a half months than I did all of last year. Here goes...

Some of the cards I've traded for...

 

[Calripkenjrcollector]

Thanks to Onthespotdetailing and RipkenRepository for the trade. Looking forward to the next one....

January to March - Added 116 Different cards to PC
April - 32 so far...

 

[Calripkenjrcollector]

By the way, I just received my #20 of 2001 Fleer Genuine Material Issue card today. Here they are..... None are for trade.

 

[Calripkenjrcollector]

Not as colorful as the one above but what the heck. I probably wouldn't see another of this for sale anyway. I know I was outbid for SN #08 /25 back then so I'll never own that one.

At least I have the #1 and #25 and they're different colors. That's a plus in my book...

 

[Calripkenjrcollector]

Dang! I just noticed I don't have a plain white of this. The only white I have has a little black line on it. Double dang!
