The Special Thanks section needs to start with Barry Brewer. Barry has been my friend in the Ripken collecting world since I first got back into it. He has been a part of all of my big collection purchases and someone I regularly rely on for real time information into rarity and value when I am stumped.
Barry has also provided more than a few scans that have been added to this site thanks to his love of the Topps Tek cards, Bat Barrels, and other high end Ripkens. I have enjoyed spending days and weeks combing through endless binders and boxes together, even when he got the super rare 1/1 Mirror Black that slipped by me.
Barry has my respect as a leader in the Ripken Super Collector world and as my friend. I can’t wait to see what new set he latches on to and completes the rainbow of.
