Hand-signed by Billy Ripken.The lot / autograph(s) includes an official Beckett Authentication Services serially numbered hologram and QR Code card for authenticity purposes. The signing of this item was witnessed by Beckett.Authentication: Beckett Hologram with QR Code cardIn 1989; Ripken's Fleer baseball card showed him holding a bat with the expletive "F**K FACE" written in plain view on the knob of the bat. Fleer subsequently rushed to correct the error; and in their haste; released versions in which the text was scrawled over with a marker; whited out with white out; and also airbrushed. On the final; corrected version; Fleer obscured the offensive words with a black box (this was the version included in all factory sets). Both the original card and many of the corrected versions have become collector's items as a result. There are at least ten different variations of this card. Once news got out; the original card's price went up to several hundred dollars.Years later; Ripken admitted to having written the expletive on the bat; however; he claimed he did it to distinguish it as a batting practice bat and did not intend to use it for the card. He went on to say; "I can't believe the people at Fleer couldn't catch that. I mean; they certainly have to have enough proofreaders to see it. I think not only did they see it"; they enhanced it. That writing on that bat is way too clear. I don't write that neat. I think they knew that once they saw it; they could use the card to create an awful lot of stir. Some collectors list the card as the "Rick Face" card; as they claim that the proximity between the letters appears to make the word "F**K" look similar to "RICK".
