It's always amazed me on the number of items that spelled his name incorrectly. In 1991 and 1992, Cal's name was misspelled Ripkin, even though Billy's name was correct.
Alan...

There are a few publicity sheets with Cal Jr. & Billy here I have never seen before (thanks for sharing).

As far as the misspelling of "Ripkin" is concerned, that has always frustrated me as well although I think you'll find it interesting that both Cal Sr. and Cal Jr. have had their names misspelled going way back to their respective High School Yearbooks (and probably before that):
