Cal Ripken, Jr. collector's thread

Gorgeous card Al.
I lost out on a '82 Donruss Buyback Auto last night.
If you don't mind, could you PM what that ran ya?

Keep up the amazing collection!

Finding the black and white in a 9 is crazy (mine is an 8) but finding the blue in an 8 is even more amazing.

Did you see the PSA 10 of the black and white WTF? I wonder what the chances are of the PSA 10 and the BGS 9's being sheet cut...

Ladies and gentlemen,
I have THE card in hand. I just picked it up from the P.O. I will post a picture when I get home this afternoon.

Tease, hurry up and post it! I leave for a weekend camping trip in an hour

I can't post it. No camera or scanner in this office. I won't be home until around 4:30-4:45 Central time.

 

[cbrandtw]

Well here it is.....

and the back

 

[BunchOBull]

I want one.


Nice card!

You bought it from that dude in Houston, right? Amazing card and extremely undervalued. Apparently less than 200 exist in any condition.

Scored a nice Goudey Rip tonight, but lost out on the other I was bidding on. Oh well, it's a good start.

I did however notice that this card wasn't listed in Beckett... is it a SP or something? It was listed as a 2007.. is it not a 2007 or am I just missing something?

For the longest time, my best ripken was a base card:

Got this one at a shop for a buck a couple years back:

These are pretty cool:

This one's amazing in person. I'll probably ebay it as it has a crack where the die cut is sharp, which seems to be common with these:

This one I want to sell:

I loved pinnacle mint as a kid but never pulled anything good out of it. This is one of my favorites as it really "glows":

"FINE SILVER":

Well here it is.....

Awesome!! Congrats man!

Of course it comes as no shock that I am a fan of the minor league stuff. It's been awhile since I've posted online so I may or may not have shown this off. After finishing a big year at Miami in 1979 Cal joined the Charlotte O's for a few games. I own another Charlotte O's pennant in less than good condition with no date. This one has a small bend or two but I was thrilled to get it. Not sure what will become of it:

Looks good, did it come with the little CoA card?

 

[BunchOBull]

That was a well spent $12.

 

[tunahead]

That was a well spent $12.

Agreed, I think I paid about $50 for the one I have like that, and thought that was a deal
