The year 2000 marked the first time that Cal Ripken Jr. certified autographs were available in a number of baseball card products. Topps, Fleer and Upper Deck all found a way to use Ripken signatures in different ways in a variety of brands.
Orioles collectors will want to take a look at the Bowman's Best Franchise Favorites Autographs # FR2C, which showcases Ripken's autograph along with one from fellow Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson. Also of note are the Upper Deck Game Jersey Autograph # HCR and the Upper Deck Pros and Prospects Game Jersey Autograph # CR, Ripken's first autographed game-used jersey cards.
