Hello, I would like to thank everyone for visiting my site. I created this database for all the other Cal Ripken Jr Collectors out there to enjoy and compare their collections to. This has been a hobby and passion of mine since I was a child, and sharing it with others has taken my enjoyment to the next level.
Please if you have a moment, drop me a line here. I would love to hear any feedback, comments, or corrections you might have.

Awesome website!
Very informative!!
Thanks Barry. I am glad you are enjoying it
Hello Rob, I’m writing you today because I have a large CRJ card collection that I don’t know what to do with. My wife would like me to donate it to goodwill but part of me would rather see them go to a home who’d truly appreciate them.
🙋 haha
It’s an amazing website. I am enjoying it 🙂
Thank you for sharing this stuff with us.
Thank you. It has taken a lot of time to create it, but I am happy people are finding it and checking it out.
I really appreciate your efforts, I hope you will keep this site updated and we will be able to enjoy the things 🙂
Very impressive, Rob. It has been a pleasure to assist you with your renewed love of collecting baseball cards. Will share the site!
Thank you for always having the never ending supply of top loaders
Impressive collection. Thanks for sharing. Just curious if you were to sell this collection what would the price be for it? I’m not looking to buy it cause I couldn’t come close to affording it. LOL
Thanks. That is a hard one. At last check the BV was around 750k. Obviously we all know that is a not a completely accurate price, but its the best I could have
WOW! I thought I had a sizeable Ripken collection. Great site and info, I have bookmarked it and will return many times. Thanks
Great website and very informative! Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Very impressive. Very helpful to identify some unknown oddballs that I own. Website already added in my favorites.
Thank you for the inspiration I needed for my summer project! This website looks fantastic and I’m excited to build my own A-Rod website soon.
I am excited to see an A-Rod site. As I am sure you saw, there are many Ripken / Rodriguez pictures here on the site
Do you still collect? Do you trade for cards you don’t have
I do not still collect. I would always be interested in seeing cards I do not have here
cool to see the aceo cal ripken cards i drawn posted on your site. i sometimes wonder whatever happen to them. i set aside drawing for now to become a songwriter but i’m an active collector/dealer doing card/collectible shows and flea markets. thank you for sharing.
That is pretty awesome that I have your cards. Could you give me a little more information on them? Like how many there were or really anything I might use to help people identify them
I collect ripken myself. But I am a low budget collector. I have got to 1851 different ripken cards. Absolutely love your collection. You have over half of his known cards manufactured,impressive.
I was trying to get a copy of all of them at one point, and I realized that was an absolutely crazy goal haha
Wonderful collection, love your site!
Thank you. Glad you could find a use for it
I have a Checklist for the 2017-2021 cards if you’d like to add it on your site.
Sure send it my way, and I will add it to the masterlist that people download
Wow ! I thought I had a decent Cal collection of about 5000 items …..I give up , it’s crazy ! Thanks for all your hard work !
5000 cards is a lot of cards, and more than most Ripken Collectors probably have. Glad that people still find a use for the site
Your site was linked to from TCDb and I’m glad I followed the link. Absolutely fantastic design and card images. I’m stunned by how many unique Ripken cards you have. Well done.
Thank you. I am glad you found the site
How do you tell the Oriole team Postcards apart? It say a number but I don’t see the number on the card. A lot of the years use the same picture.
This can be very difficult to tell. The reason I know the ones I have are for sure, because the person I got them from was buying them as they came out and labeling them at the time. Sometimes there are very little differences, like the type of ink used for the signature or a very minor difference in cropping. It can be difficult to tell for sure.
As far as the number goes, that is just a number assigned by beckett. Sometimes is alphabetical, sometimes not. I just use what they assign so it is somewhat trackable
Just came across you site… I’m a Call Ripken Jr. Collector myself… Waaaaayyyy behind your though haha. I haven’t gotten a full number count of mine yet though. Actually, was hoping to get a count this weekend… Has been too hectic during the week lately.
Your site should definitely be helpful with building it.
