Star Baseball - 1988 Ripken

ldferg

Where can I obtain a list of all the Star baseball sets produced?

AUPT

The listings in the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards (through the 2011 edition) were comprehensive.

Never heard of it Bob ... who puts that together? (As I look to my right and see it displayed prominently on my bookshelf! LOL)

Here's an idea: Standard Catalog should have an online searchable version - subscription based. I'd rather be able to type in a player's name or a year, etc. and it brings the info up. Kind of like the search feature in PSA's population report. Searching thru phonebook size catalogs is a bit archaic. It is almost 2013. lol.

Such proposals were discussed 10+ years ago but it was never felt that paid usage would justify the effort expended.

As fast as advances have come in IT, the market for such data has declined.

I'd be surprised if it ever happens with this title.

Thank you for the link.

The SCBC included a CD for a couple of years 4-5 years ago. I don't know why it was discontinued. I remember it as being clumsy to use.

Do any of you know anything about the 88 Star Ripken set? I see that 3 cards have been graded by PSA. Is this correct, only 3??

the only thing I know about is that I own it (wasn't the promo card pink in color?)

I'm referring to the orange 88 star ripken. I picked up a normal and glossy set.

The set I picked up is labeled as 88 Star in the top right corner and match the other 88 Star sets.

Hopefully this link will work to the set I picked up: Star Ripken

I had some of these graded (results ranged from 8 to 10). I'm not seeing any of these listed on eBay any longer.

Here is a sample of the set I'm referring to:

Here is the promo card from this set I was referring to earlier:

I see these promo's several places. Looks like someone sold a 1,500 count box of these recently. Do you have any info on the 'orange' set?

In the late 1980's/early 1990's these sets were very difficult to locate (not the promo cards). I can't prove this obviously, but in the mid to late 1990's, a ton of these sets hit the market and I always wondered if they were re-printed (particularly the glossy set, which was unheard of until that mid 1990's time period).

IMF,
I appreciate your feedback.
