Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread

[Orioles fan]

Wow, some nice looking cards there. Any of the Ripken collectors heading out to nationals this year?

 

[bigalbert]

Yeah thanks to onthespotdetailing, was able to pick up a few more Ripkens for the collection. Finished all 12 of my Pinnacle Epix cards finally, picked up a couple more Select certified mirrors and my first PMG too!

Nice mirrors, pulsars I assume on shining stars?

Ahhhhh...that mirror gold. I'm jealous! (Is the other a mirror blue?)

The Pastime Powers is actually a mirror red, but I needed it and was happy with price.

And yes, that's a Pulsar. One of those pesky inserts that is pretty damn tough for not being serial numbered.

Picked up this nice buyback archives auto 1/1 in gold signature. I have always enjoyed this iconic picture from 1992 topps.

Gold Ink is a nice touch. Would have been a little cooler if it was a topps gold or gold winner.

I have a few bagwells that have silver ink and they look sharp on the right card.

Just by shear luck I stumbled across this on ebay as I typically don't buy much there. Couldn't pass this up as it has been on the want list for years.

Finally got a 1998 Select 5 Star Bonus, never thought I'd be able to own one of these! Absurdly rare, much rarer than the serial would lead you to believe.

[Letch77]

An unsigned Signature Series? What's the story behind that one?

 

[GColton48]

it's the proof card, un-numbered and un-signed. very rare, never seen another - think it's the only one. here's the back;

Here's an insert you don't see that often, the /500 QVC signed 1994 Leaf Statistical Standout for Ripken. Going to be listing on eBay at $69.99 today but would do $60 shipped direct through the forums if anyone was interested. Not often talked about and a very rare 90s card for the Ironman!

 

[nosterbor]

What year was it signed? Are they all 1994 Ultra Statistical Standouts?
