Cool. What year is this Ripken? ‘82? ‘83? Don’t say it’s from ‘81?!!? That would be awesome. I’ve seen lots of Baltimore TI Ripkens, but not this one. Pray tell!

Very cool item.

It's a 1981 issue that I rec'd TTM in '82

1947 Sports Exchange Phil Rizzuto Signed Rookie Card
 

Here's one of my favorites from the Uncle Jimmy Collection - I can;t imagine there's another one in existence as you don't see many 1947 Sports Exchange Cards - let alone signed. https://www.wheatlandauctionservices...-LOT15288.aspx

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

WOW!!! Hell of a collection!!

Jeez! Gotta add it to the checklist now! Grrr! 😠 very nice indeed!

1936 Goudey - Bobby Doerr:

Attachment 405109

technically a '37 (Type IV), but still Doerr's rookie. Nice one.

Doug Harvey Umpire RC
 

It's a bad photo--much more bold in person. I've had lots that fit into this category, including an early signed example of this one, but this remains a favorite.

RIP Hank...

We have Nolan Ryan, Mike Schmidt, Carlton Fisk (signed by Fisk, Cooper and Garman) and a number of others in our auction that starts Wednesday.

how about another slice of spam?

a few more....
 

Just picked up the Lemon, plus here's a few more RC's...

As someone who came back last March after a 35 year hiatus, I just want to say what an awesome thread! I don't have anything incredible to share, just wanted to thank everyone else for the cool pics.

No longer mine...1929 Zeenut Pre-Rookie of Lefty Gomez.

Can't imagine a signed Ruth rookie exists...but figure the thread could use some Babe!

Signed Rookie Cards
 

Jay - that signed Pebble Beach Joe D is absolutely amazing!!! Best of the Best!!!!

wow! Some amazing cards here. I love signed RC autos as a collecting focus.

Couple of mine

I thought this thread was just for, well not Mattingly rookies. I saw a Mattingly appear though so here are mine!

Now that is an impressive group of autos!

If it gets authenticated, LUKE posted a Zeenut Ernie Lombardi with potential signature on the back, in another thread. A few of us thought it had a 75% chance of being authentic. That's another card that may have no equal.
