Just wanted to stop by and share the joy with you all. I fianlly picked up a new scanner and have been going thru all my cards rescanning and uploading to the registry as I go. I finally got all my new Ripkens up and cleaned up the old, bad scans. I have some good symetry going with it, I just have the first and last card left! Now onto the 82! Maybe that 01 will come along someday!

The one thing that does bother me about 4SC is sometimes they sell you a card, but ship you a different card than what they show in the scan. I'm a pretty impatient person when it comes to adding cards to my registry. If the seller has a nice scan of the card, and I can read the cert number, I'll use the cert number in the scan, and sometimes even use the seller's image in my set. There have been several times now where I'll buy something from 4SC, add that cert number, and without checking it once it arrives, I just put it with the rest of my cards. I just got another notification that someone was trying to add a card that I had inside my set. I'm assuming this was a case of 4SC switching cards on me again. It's mostly my fault for not being patient, but they really shouldn't sell one card, but ship the other. Just venting...
If anyone is interested in some of the PSA 10's in my Master Set, make me an offer, there's a few I won't part with, and I'm not interested in dumping them for cheap, so make offers reasonable
And to bump my last post, anyone know the last few prices for 1998 Donruss Crusade Red Cal Ripkens?
<< <i>I haven't seen any for sale, I think ever. Thought about chasing a few of those by buying some boxes, but came to my senses... >>
What would you think would be a good price for one? A Griffey sold for $2100 a few months ago, but I think that was on the way high end of things, and Griffey collectors are way more nuts that Ripken collectors
Yes, there are currently TWO 1998 Topps 10s on the bay right now. One is a $125 BIN, and the other is an auction that ends Sunday. It's the only card I have my eyes on right now.
<< <i>Should I be worried? I just bought this 1983 Topps PSA 10 for $30 Buy It Now. It has no photo and a very short description. I asked the seller for the cert number, and I won't send payment until I receive that. If it's all legit, I'll be pretty excited. >>
Sounds like you got a steal! Now if someone just lists a 1985 Topps PSA 10 like that >>
That card turned out to be totally legit by the way. Nice!!

Nice pick up! I remember my 83 was a similar case. I saw a very generic, non photo $40 BIN up one day so I grabbed it and crossed my fingers. The rest is history. If I remember it didn't even specify which 1983 Ripken it was. It just said in the title 1983 Cal Ripken PSA 10 and inside the description it added Topps to say: 1983 Topps Cal Ripken PSA 10
Yeah I know man, I gotta get a scanner with a charge-coupled device (CCD) so it can get the depth of the slab. Drives me nuts. Of course, once I get that I'll have to rescan everything!
And yay, I moved back into 8th spot on the Master Registry with all my PSA 9 additions
I should have a couple nice 90's cards to post this week... 2 #'d to 100 and a nice shiny green one numbered to 250. Hoping to have it's nice shiny purple cousin soon too...
Heck no! It's from that one guy from the other forum that you told us about. Pretty cards though, I've still never seen a Crusade card in person. Thought about grabbing one of the cheaper ones off the bay just to see it in person.
I was trying to make a run for the purple and red but was a bit too late... found another lead on a purple though. The red will stay out of reach at this time... which is probably a good thing as it's freakin' expensive!!
So here's a dumb question, which box is the Ripken distributed in, or any Crusade for that matter? Donruss? Leaf? Are they also distributed in Leaf R&S?
Yeah Ripken was in Donruss. If you are thinking about breaking boxes to pull one... I wouldn't... they're really, really, really hard to pull. You'd have more luck pulling the 1992 autographed Donruss I think.
Thanks to Don my Master set is at 9%. I'm trying to focus on the older stuff first so that I don't lose my mind busting junk wax looking for garbage inserts. Regardless I already put the pics up on the registry.
Wow, you got a 1983 OPC PSA 10! Nyce... I had the chance to get one for $90 at the National, but I just didn't want to bite. I felt it was a tad too much for what I wanted to spend that day for it.
I think I'm gonna put a grand from my tax return aside to buy an 82 Traded PSA 10 when one comes up. I'm tired of dropping the money on raw ones just to have them come back as 9's
Any body know what this set is and whether it is cataloged anywhere? I'm interested in getting the entire 5 card set graded as thick cards. There are 2 Gehrigs and 3 Ripkens.
It is a metal card and came in a tin. I think it will fit in the thick holders PSA uses for packs. If you know the answer, could you reply with the set name and guide book/page so I can pass that info on to PSA?
Here is the back:
Thanks, Kevin

Well a 1995 Studio PSA 10 appeared on the bay, but what's up with the slab? They put it in a slab they would use for 1952 Topps or something. Why would they do that?
Here's mine (blurry scan and all):
Looks like "ypsi72" is no dummy, he knows how hard it is to find this card in a 10 (Pop 2). I'm not bidding on it at $99.99. Especially not in that slab.

I am guessing by Ripkens number that he was in Donruss?

Enjoy the 83 OPC, it was the one I was really sad to see go.
