⚾ 1982 Topps Cal Ripken Jr. #21 Rookie RC Baseball Card — PSA 7 Near Mint — The Iron Man, 2,131 Consecutive Games, 2x MVP, Havre de Grace Maryland, Baltimore Orioles HOF

On September 6, 1995, Cal Ripken Jr. stepped onto the field at Camden Yards and broke one of sports' most unbreakable records: Lou Gehrig's 2,130 consecutive games played, set between 1925 and 1939. The Iron Man of baseball, a kid from Havre de Grace, Maryland who never missed a day of work for 16 years. When Ripken finally ended the streak voluntarily on September 20, 1998 at 2,632 consecutive games, he had built a legacy no statistician could fully contain. Two MVP awards (1983, 1991). Nineteen All-Star selections. The 1983 World Series championship with Baltimore. A Hall of Fame induction in 2007 with 98.5% of the vote — one of the highest totals in HOF history.

⚾ The 1982 Topps Cal Ripken Jr. rookie card #21 is one of the most collected and beloved RC cards in the history of the hobby. It is the card that captures the beginning: the first professional cardboard of a player who would go on to define what it means to show up, every day, for a city and a franchise. This copy comes graded PSA 7 Near Mint — a card with sharp corners, bright colors, and the look of a piece that has been cared for across four-plus decades since the Orioles were building a dynasty. A PSA 7 on a 1982 Ripken RC is a legitimate collector grade: strong enough to display, significant enough to hold value, and iconic enough to anchor any Orioles or baseball collection.
