September Pick-ups

Finally got a (barely present) pinstripe Ruth jersey. Absolutely love it!

Awesome card Jeremy.

I got these in the mail today. A great member knows the type of cards I like and sent me these. Two Blank back Wade Boggs I needed for my Boggs collection. Then the amazing 1975 Twinkies missing ink and with a huge print offset.

Then bought these two 89 Fleer Bill Ripken Saw Cuts with a faint yellow line printing error. One is for trade/sale.

I dig those saw cuts Ben. What’s the story on those and the yellow line? I’m vaguely familiar with the standard variations of the Ripken, but not the cuts or the line.

The Ripken card is at the bottom of the sheet. They ran a saw up the ends of the stacks of sheets to mark the F Face cards to remove them prior to packaging. They made 132 card sheets of just Ripken Black Box cards to replace them.

The yellow line is a semi rare print error. It is just a yellow line from the top to bottom of the card on the right side. The line is easier to see in direct sunlight. These have faint lines.

Picked this up recently for less than the price of a paper version:

Picked up the closer GOAT in jumbo dual pinstripe.
