My value question of the night - Cal Ripken, Jr. printing plate from USA Today
This is my storage shed find of the day today. It's an aluminum?? printing plate from the USA Today newspaper when Cal set the record.
Does anyone know what these fetch nowadays?
Thanks,
Mike

I recently picked up a printing plate myself, its a card, but this big one is very cool, thanks for sharing. No idea what it would bring, but its gotta be worth something.
How did you get this by the way?

USA today is printed in dozens of spots across the country so the plate is not unique (unless no one saved the other ones). And then you have a plate for each color I believe.
It would be far rarer and most likely unique if it was from a normal paper like the Baltimore Sun, New York Post, San Francisco Chronicle, etc.
PS. Mark Fuhrman photo on front is the main reason it will be valuable in the future
Gio, I don't remember where I got them from, I used to buy a LOT of stuff from all over.
