Why Billy Ripken

I won this Baseball Card on EBay last night. But why? Why would I want a Gem Graded 1989 Billy Ripken Fleer Card? Well, I did, and it is for kind of a funny reason that I was reminded about recently by Scott Wood of Shady Spring Tigers fame.
All I will mention, other than what I have already mentioned, is that the card is famous as an error card. Though I would not say the snafu is an error, just something that got by the editors unnoticed. A little hazing perhaps from fellow players on the day the photo was taken. The card has made Billy Ripken famous for an otherwise quiet career. Envy my Gem Rated 10 1989 Billy Ripken Fleer Baseball Card.
