Help Idendifying a Ripken Card

Hi all,

I picked up a Ripken card today at a show and I have no idea what it is. It's standard size, only with rounded corners, and on the front it has a picture of Ripken throwing a ball. The back says 'Classic Baseball Superstars, Series 1, Cal Ripken #9'. Does anyone know what this might be?

Also, I picked up a cool Emmitt Smith today. It's a 1992 Action Packed card, only the back is in braille. Anybody ever seen one of these before?

    Couldn't find them in the big Beckett baseball Almanac so I'm not sure what they are.

    Yup! That's the one! Thanks, BWF, for tracking that down.

    Thining you would have mentioned if it was a phone card but i found this


    It's too bad that Ripken had to be #9 in so many sets. 218 to be exact.

    I believe that the Ripken card is one of the unlicensed "Broder" cards from either 1986 or 87. Here's a pic of a Roger Clemens from the same set.
