Description

1989 Fleer Bill Ripken (FF Error) #616 PSA Gem Mint 10. Bill Ripken carved out a solid major-league career as a dependable infielder, known for his steady defense, baseball IQ, and ability to contribute across multiple roles. Playing alongside his brother Cal Ripken Jr., he became part of one of baseball's most recognized families, with his time in Baltimore marked by grit and consistency.

The 1989 Fleer #616 Bill Ripken (FF Error) card is one of the most infamous and talked-about error cards in hobby history. Featuring Ripken in a casual pose during batting practice, the card gained notoriety due to an unedited obscenity written on the knob of his bat-a detail mistakenly printed on early runs. Its unusual backstory, multiple subsequent corrections, and place in late-'80s hobby lore make it a uniquely memorable and widely collected modern error card. Graded PSA Gem Mint 10.
