Card of the Day: Cal Ripken Jr. Sterling Season Auto Relic /5
This special card is a gem from my personal collection. It's a Cal Ripken Jr. Sterling Season auto relic card, numbered out of just five, graded a Mint 9 with an Auto 10. It’s the kind of piece that truly reminds me why I love collecting.
Growing up, I really looked up to Cal Ripken Jr. He was a local hero where I lived, and I even did a school report on him back in the day. Sharing this card is a bit of a nostalgic nod to that childhood admiration and the era of my life that was my collector origin story.
I’d love to hear about everyone else’s “grail” cards in your collections, too! Feel free to leave a comment or reach out to me on TikTok and Instagram.
Don’t forget—we’re hosting a holiday stream on December 6th on Whatnot. Be sure to bookmark and stop by the Holiday Extravaganza Whatnot stream, where I’ll be listing lots of cards that could be YOUR grail! Hope to see you there! Here are the details:
