1989 Fleer Billy Ripken variations

I am looking for the more "difficult" Billy Ripken FF errors. I have the obvious FF errror, the black box, the black scribble, even a BW proof card. I am looking for the "cut" cards and the whiteout versions. let me know if you have any.

I have the FF error and 3 black box variations...how much can you pay?

PLMK thanks

I didnt realize that many variations were out there.. I have a Playboy issue that shows that card by the way !

What is the cut card? Which is worth the most?

NBAsteve · May 31, 2002 12:49PM

The most is the actual error and then the card where it is boxed out...the others Im not sure

actually Steve is wrong

The most is the white out- $50
The FF is 2nd at $15
The scribble is 3rd at $6
The boxed out is the corrected error- $.05

I have a White out version if you are interested

Remember the Craig Nettles Error kinda the same thing? Made by some off brand, I have it somewhere!

The most is not the boxed out. It's the white out.

I believe someone figured out there were actually like 8 or 10 variations of this card.

There's at least 5 or 6 of the Randy Johnson, I'd bet it's even more than that. They blacked out that scoreboard in stages with several color variations.

As for the Randy Johnson...yes..I've seen 5 variations...the regular Marlboro...Marlboro with a red border...Marlboro with a green border...the smudged black "trying" to hide Marlboro...and the totally blacked out version.

I'm sure more will pop up in time..

Hello
That error is the Jim Nettles 1990 Pacific Senior. It says A## Hole on the Bat knob. They issued a airbrushed and Glossy ABrush which are by far more rare.
The Cut card was not intended to cut the word out but to mark card to pull out by graders and destroy. Fleer said some slipped by. Some? Yeah right. The cut is avail. in different cut placement/length and widths. The saw cut is found in 5 versions..... so far.
I have around 15 legit versions and others that are questionable.
Dont buy GEM FF cards as they do not authenticate.
The whiteout is easily made.
I have alot of info on this card and other similar adult error cards as well as a wealth of pics,articles and such. Contact me anytime

I did not realize there were that many variations. Sounds challenging to try and get them all.

I pulled these out a few months ago so I could show 1989FleerBillRipkencollector. Never found the time till today to scan and post. The first is a 1986 Charlotte O's team card. They gave these out at a game in Late August. The other is a saw cut. Not sure if I should post the picture.

I got this at a card show in 1989. I have a few of the black box type and a scribble (loop). The guy said he got it out of a pack.

Ohhhhhhhhh !!! That saw cut is a illegal copy that must be destroyed by my BillRipkenShredder2000. Plese send it to me asap.

White Scribble Saw Cut !!! Awesome.

I have one but it is on a rack pack. Thought about opening it but a buddy talked me out if it. I need one for my singles collection. LMK if interested in selling it.

That is a great auto of BIll. Full sig. Alot that I see are sloppy and not as defined.

Thanks for sharing

So, I bought the 1989 12 issues to look for the article since you wouldnt send me a copy or give me the issue #. It wasnt in there. Another said it was Penthouse. Any info?
