Wishlist #1 - Ripken & Ryan

Considering that this is my first (of probably countless) wishlists I figure I might as well go big with two of my favorite players as a kid.

First, there is the Cal Ripken Jr.

While the three RC's from Donruss, Topps and Fleer are certainly part of my collection goals, they are a bit more achievable than these others for now. So, the wishlists that I put up are going to be a little more exclusive stuff or rarer stuff or Tuff Stuff.

The four Cal Ripken Jr. cards on my wishlist are:

1980 Charlotte O's Police Orange

1980 Charlotte O's WBTV Blue

1981 TCMA Rochester Red Wings #15

1982 Topps Traded













My other two favorite players growing up were Nolan Ryan and Kirby Puckett.

Obviously the Nolan Ryan cards that I'll put up here are his oldest cards and thus a bit outside of my current tax bracket.

First, there is the 1968 Topps RC. I'd also eventually like to pick up the O-Pee-Chee version as well.

Second, the 1969 Topps card is fantastic as well.

If you're gonna go, might as well go big.
