The 1989 Fleer Billy Ripkin. Only Catfish Hunter's handlebar moustache pics beat this card. Why? I leave it up to you to inspect the card and find the specialness. Just so you know, Billy Ripkin was pretty much a smelly second base guy with bad batting add-ups and lots of missy swings. His ball-catching was medium and his falling down style for getting to those white pads was decent, but a lot of times he would space out and screw up in playing. I heard his dug-out demeanor was really cool-guy and he often needed to have his mouth washed out with soap by the catcher every time the O's went on a losing streak. Hint: I know that Oriole hat is really dope, but that's not it.
