I had no idea they made that much stuff for that promotion. I'm also glad someone remembered the name of the medicine before I had to hunt around for my partial sleeve of cups. I'm really impressed with collections that focus on one player. I've never been able to have that much focus. |

Nice selection Tim. I really like that last game photo with Jeter.
Here's a Nascar pin I have. img164.jpg |

IMO the Streak somewhat unfairly defined him. He was a top 5 and possibly a top 3 SS independent of the Streak.

no coke bottles celebrating the streak?
but seriously Ripken also was known to have more stances than most politicians in his area.. Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 09-19-2018 at 07:25 AM. |

IMO The Streak was only ONE of the things that defined him.
He did change the position of shortstop opening the door for players like Jeter and Arod. 3000+ Hits and 400+ HR i pretty defining. ROY and 2X MVP says something. All-Star all but his rookie year. Multiple Gold Glove and silver Slugger awards. I do think though that The Streak was the single thing that most defined him amongst the casual fan. |

Tim---impressive trove. I do not collect him per se but have all his regular Topps cards, and any of his Topps insert or test issues through 1994. I also have collected Topps Player Tribute issues

To add to the things that you will not find on a Ripken checklist anywhere . . .
Beckett cover printing plates (acquired from Beckett through ebay) that I had Cal sign at the 2010 National in Baltimore. |

Pretty sure a list of Ripken, Jeter, Ryan, guys like that could be books in themselves. Either Beckett or Trading Card DB is only going to have 95-98% of what's out there. The interesting stuff is the other few percent.

Ron I always loved the English's Chicken bucket lids. Very nice with an auto. I might have to have him sign one as well.
