    They are not too hard to find in the "raw" form.Some of the variations(corrections)are still fairly difficult to obtain.The card is probably worth a few dollars,maybe $10 or $20.Probably not even that much.I still have a few of them somewhere.

    The first error isn't worth much.The white out version still sells for $20-$25.

    The error you referred to in your original post just sold for $160+ on Ebay for a PSA 10.

    WOW!!!

    I better go into the closet and break mine out.I am sure that I have a couple that have a shot at 10's.They came right out of packs and went into top loaders back in 89.

    Someone over on the Beckett boards pointed out that apparently BGS won't (or somehow hasn't) grade the "FF" Ripken. Check out the population reports. It seems odd that they wouldn't.

    I wonder what they would write on the flip? Maybe that's the reason...

    BGS wont grade the BIll Ripken FF card as it would make them not look kid friendly. They coined teh term Rick Face in 89 to avoid cussing. They only grade 6 versions out of the 15 I know of due to the easiness to reproduce some versions and I feel they dont distinguish the diff. scribble versions as they started out labeling all same and now must stick to it. Contact me for more info if interested.
