The Ripken exists! 8 years and I finally landed my Holy Grail!

[jpcz]

I dont know what to say about this, except that after 8+ years my search for the Cal Ripken has come to the end and I am the proud owner of a complete 2005 Ultimate Signature Immortal Inscriptions set!! Those that have followed my progress will know that the last two cards took me 8 years, with the Nolan Ryan coming only months ago. This is a huge milestone for me, a milestone that made me realize there is nothing else out there that I want to buy. So, with the complete decades set, and now this, I am calling it quits with any more purchases.

Without further delay, here is my holy grail mailday, and a couple biggies from the set...click on the image in my sig for the whole set! (oh, and those who saw my signature with those yellow boxes...gone!!)

Thanks guys!

What's wrong with Taco Bell? Haha. I'm not sure how to post pics the way you suggested though, sorry. I always use the img link from photobucket...

Awesome! That is a set I have though about starting many times.

Best of luck if you do. I know a couple of collectors chasing it too...they're all going after the same 5-6 cards! I was extremely fortunate enough to get to the seller immediately.
