1989 FLEER AND THE SEARCH FOR THE BILLY RIPKEN F FACE CARD! (Throwback Thursday)

[@qccardbreaks2433]

Just pulled the unedited Ripken Monday. Been chasing that "White Whale" since 89!

[@MGAF688]

I loved the Mets names in this era: Lenny Dykstra, Dave Magadan, Kevin Elster, Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, Tim Teufel, Mackey Sasser, Ron Darling, David Cone, Rick Aguilera, Kevin Tapani, Mookie Wilson. All cool baseball names.

[@tommydub1281]

Hell to the yeah!

[@StopFraudandGreed]

I bought a box from a case to be from the error timeline and was guaranteed (as long as it was pulled ) pulled both the Marlboro and F Face … graded 10 and 9 … awesome pulls

[@randyworden5232]

There was a "People's Court" episode involving a fight over the Billy Ripken card and Judge Wapner couldn't believe the value.."his brother is a much better player"...and wasn't very happy that obscenity was worth so much...lollll

[@moviebuff83]

It always cracks me up just how many players you used to hate as a kid.

[@garylee3893]

Fun one, I once pulled a uncensored ripken, woulda thought I won powerball

[@hellocollegejason198]

Baseball Stars on the NES is the bomb

[@JohnMiller-jj9kx]

Good blast from the past!

[@tonyrandall9761]

Bringin back some really good ole memories right here now💯✅✌️🇺🇸

[@dcfanchris]

Well this is a nice early birthday treat!This is one of my favorite junk wax sets!

[@sonnikdoh2510]

Always liked the Donruss Kings Inserts

[@scottyarm]

My favorite card of all time! Always a classic, Erik!

[@mgtowlife]

Click bait.. c’mon jabs your better than that

[@ghostface3655]

Great throwback! Awesome video as usual, Jabs! Preciate ya! 🙏

[@RFP15]

The year the Pirates traded for Steve Buechele was the season he set a career high in HR. I'm a Rangers fan, and a lot of us weren't happy that he was traded. He wasn't the greatest player, but he was a fan favorite in Texas.

[@dukeax6241]

I like the design it's just so classic fleer

[@charlenejohnson4809]

I just pulled the Ken Griffey jr and bill ripken “f-face” card while watching this video!!!

[@nobodys-fool]

It went through 3 different types...it was planned by fleer...the first one went high as $400...month later the 2nd one took its place...then when the 3rd came out, people started asking questions...fleer planned this to boast sells...

[@johnsherman8649]

I have 7 graded Ripken ERROR cards graded from 7s to 9s in psa and sgc slabs. I also have a PSA 9 of the Scribbled out in white Ripken, which there are only 30 that exist in that grade. This is my favorite set and chase card from the late 80s early 90s. Thanks for this video and your content, love it

[@taraingalls3440]

Now that bat nob would make a fantastic 1/1. But then again it is Billy. 🤣

[@ncaabreplays4262]

Assuming the sticker won't work because it wouldn't stick to a bunch of uneven wax paper cracked me up. 😂😂

[@brianpeters9755]

I never did find the Billy Ripken. Fun video!

[@conejo0919]

Awesome video, love the throwback

Rec Specs was a brand name of goggles

[@dennissepanik5938]

A product to try is 2002 Donruss Super Estrellas

[@jameszuckerman802]

I found the Billy Ripken F face card in my dads baseball card collection! Nice find

[@49ersfan12]

Hope mike trout gets a world series ring he deserves it

[@EaglesFanInMD]

Cal tells a different story about it. Billy wrote it on there but it was in thin black marker. He was insinuating that Fleer made it bold and printed it that way for attention.

[@frankspicci9994]

I'm Pretty sure the sticker fidget stick because you tried sticking it on wax paper.

[@tylersplattstoesser6670]

Acuna Jr first 30 HR/60 SB guy.

[@djpuplex]

Mike Trout's numbers if he'd stayed healthy would have been nuts guy missed almost ,600 games.

[@nobodys-fool]

I wouldn't buy any wax boxes from the late '80's...dealers were caught opening the packs for rookie cards. Then resealing them for sale...

[@timd2606]

RBI 1 is insanely fun

[@briancarvo124]

Topps did collectors a favor by not allowing gum to be inside the packs. Stickers and puzzles never damaged the cards like gum has

[@cditsious]

That's their name...recspecs

[@jeffjones8866]

A psa 10 billy Ripken ff error card is worth a bit over $400 dollars.

[@dukeax6241]

The other night?I had a Dream that I had the mark McGuire team.USA card and It was able to have him to sign it.That was a good dream too bad when I woke up it wasn't real l o l

[@BuPan]

I think the Billy Ripken error card actually went through two or three different corrections, black scribble, white box, and black box, with black box being the most common

[@bobbiepage5425]

Not f face the name is Rick face on bat

[@dfuller81]

Kid in 1989: “I’ll trade you Baines for your Canseco.” Me: “LOL”

[@DominicRocco-1975]

That's Kevin Brown's second year card

[@vinegarpisser2992]

17:46 and 19:56 damn right!

[@hunterbuescher7452]

Love that billy Ripken corrected version card and that Griffey jr rookie card

[@justsomeguy404]

I have both f-face and black box in sgc 8 . Would like to get back scribble version. The white version is really expensive.

[@johnnydrama3829]

it is strange that it was edited in so many different ways instead of an immediate black box after the ff was discovered.

[@bcoh8741]

I’ve come to the realization. You’ve hated a lot of things as a child. 😂

[@leochang2347]

Lee Smith is a HOFer and was not pulled??

[@spaceviking4966]

Like the gum and stickers, but wasn't a fan of Donruss puzzles.

[@johnnydrama3829]

i'd have to say that if you purchased packs that had the fleer update cards in them with the griffey jr, there was no chance of getting a ripkin ff card. opposite ends of the print cycle. ripkin ff would've been an early print with no update cards in the packs

[@johnsherman8649]

I used to get my fleer boxes from a 90 year old lady at a flea market I go to. Every box had a ff card and a partially obscure marlboro card. I have quite the few of each now.

[@johnnydrama3829]

​@johnsherman8649 bro that's awesome! Error cards were so cool to have back then lol and still are

[@mikekamine7654]

Back in 1989 I sent in the hole set to psa and got them graded

[@m.t.v.7934]

Wasn't there a Mike Heith error card in 89 fleer with the wrong name on the back?

[@deanbeckstein3337]

Yes. Heath had the Brookens back and Brookens had the heath back

[@m.t.v.7934]

@@deanbeckstein3337 thanks I knew I remembered it from back in 89. Just forgot the error
