1982 Topps Traded Cal Ripken Jr. PSA 7 #98T

Own a piece of baseball history with this classic Cal Ripken Jr. rookie card — the most desirable and sought-after of the Iron Man’s early issues! This is Ripken’s first solo Topps card (#98T from the 1982 Topps Traded set), featuring the future Hall of Famer in his Baltimore Orioles uniform during his breakout rookie season.

Graded PSA 7 (Near Mint), this card boasts clean visuals, solid centering, sharp corners/edges for the grade, and vibrant colors typical of high-end examples in this slab. The iconic design captures young Cal early in his legendary career, before he shattered records with 2,632 consecutive games, 431 home runs (a shortstop record), and two MVP awards.

This Traded rookie is widely regarded as more limited and collectible than his 1982 Topps flagship “Future Stars” card (which shares the spotlight with two other players).
