1989 Score Cal Ripken, Jr. Baseball Card (#15)

This is a 1989 Score baseball card featuring Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles. The card measures approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is constructed from standard medium-weight cardstock with a semi-gloss finish. The front design features a full-color action photograph of Ripken in a batting stance, wearing the Orioles' road grey uniform and batting helmet. A distinctive teal and white border surrounds the image, with a blue semi-circle at the bottom indicating his position as shortstop (SS) and his team name in yellow. The Score company logo is visible in the top right corner in white and blue. From a condition perspective, the card appears to have relatively sharp corners based on the visual evidence, though the centering seems slightly shifted toward the bottom left. The white outer margins show no signs of major staining or foxing. There are no visible creases, surface scratches, or significant edge wear apparent in the image. Manufacturing details include the 1989 Score set design, which was the second year of production for the Score brand, characterized by its vibrant colors and high-action photography compared to traditional competitors of the era. The card represents a key veteran star card from the 'Junk Wax Era' of sports collectibles.
