Card Identification Forum

hello,

id be interested in adding this oddball card. how would I go about having that done? or does it exist and I can't find it?

I was not able to find any other cards other than the Ripken card, and because it is unlicensed and more of an advertisement card, it would be difficult to get addes to any "Official" database 

FUn:  Greatest Cal Ripken cards ever made (mlb.com)

thanks so much for the quick reply.

Interestingly, I was able to find a slightly different version:

That Ripken has a printed back (and a card number of 105) rather than the blank back.

I'm curious... could the blank back card have been cut from a milk carton, perhaps as a "food issue" type of card?

interesting! it could also just be a printing defect, I suppose

It definitely looks like it was cut out of something

Hmm doing a little googling and from a Blowout Cards forum page they discuss the blank back and someone mention it was made by a milk association company Mid-Atlantic Milk Marketing Association (MAMMA). the version that has info on the back is genearally believed to be made in 1984, although there is something about it being 1986. Definitely something local to the Baltimore area. At least the original photo with Cal. There is some mention that it was part of a stadium giveaway. There is also some poster that uses the same photo.

Odd that only Cal's card number 105 is being found and no others from the set. What are we missing?
