So, thanks Mr. Ripken for making my grandmother so happy that day.

These are some of my Ripken proof items:

1982 Fleer Test Card
1990 Donruss Aqueous Test
1990 Donruss Blue/White
1992 Topps Round Trippers
1992 Donruss Jumbo Diamond King

Mike,

Those are quite the cards you have there. Some of those I have never seen before. Thanks for sharing the Ripken items...
