Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread

[nosterbor]

Aw man I missed a chance to post this:



And no, I don't still have all of these

Seeing those, they are not as rare as they are thought to be.

There are 50 and I am sure all 50 were released the real question for me how many of the Select Numbers were there.

They were rare enough that I couldn't find one (publicly) after years of looking. Print run and market availability are two different things.

Yeah, they're still pretty rare even with the stash I had. I bought mine all within a couple months when they were originally getting sold (I honestly can't remember when this was, 2012 maybe?)... after that time, there haven't been a whole lot for sale. I think the people that got them are holding onto them.

That's a pretty card!! The scan doesn't do it justice!

In the 90s thread but it belongs here too! Beautiful 98 Team Pinnacle Mirror Gold /25, happy to finally own it.

Pretty Schweet card, JoneBone... Question is, did they make a Chipper side Foil also?

 

[nosterbor]

NO Chipper mirror side.

 

[jonebone]

Couple more Cal beauties for the thread! /100 1998 Pinnacle AP and /50 98 Donruss Preferred Precious Metals, BGS 9.5. Quite happy with both!

Some really good-looking ebay seller just listed a few tougher 2000 Ripken autos.

Always loved the purple foil on the Skybox Autographics. Great looking card!

Eh. That seller is a bum.

Still looking for one card - a 2006 Turkey Red Cal Ripken, Jr (White Border version) # 582 to complete a White border set

 

[goobmcnasty]

Eh. That seller is a bum.

Never said he wasn’t a bum. Just good-looking. I stand by that 100% ��

Hey guys. I’m wondering what price these Ripken’s usually fetch. (In order to get my guy’s 97 embossed refractor, I have to buy the whole lot... trying to determine if it’d be worth it.). Also, if any of you might be interested in it, shoot me a PM

Any help would be great.
