A CAL RIPKEN JR. from the 1982 TOPPS set, card #21. This is a great addition to any BALTIMORE ORIOLES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This card is in remarkable physical condition, featuring sharp corners, clean edges, and a pristine surface that would otherwise merit a near-perfect grade. However, a significant vertical centering shift on the front restricts the technical grade to an Excellent-Mint level, with strong potential for an off-center qualifier.
