The card collector's view

Ripken's flagship rookie is the 1982 Topps Traded #98T — the most-collected rookie of the 80s alongside the Donruss and Fleer rookies. PSA 10 examples have traded into the four figures. The 1982 Donruss #405 and 1982 Fleer #176 round out the RC trio. His 1995 'Game 2,131' commemorative inserts capture the streak moment that made him a national figure. Modern Topps Heritage keeps the Ripken market deep for Orioles collectors.

About Cal Ripken Jr. Cards & Plaques at FreshDCards

Cal Ripken Jr. played 2,632 consecutive games — the most unbreakable record in sports. He broke Lou Gehrig's 56-year-old mark on September 6, 1995, when the country needed baseball back after the strike. The 1983 World Series champion, two-time AL MVP, and 19-time All-Star also changed what a shortstop could look like at 6-foot-4. He finished his career with 431 home runs and 3,184 hits — the most ever by a shortstop. The Iron Man, in pinstripes for all 21 seasons with Baltimore.
