Finally Ripping it !!

The moment we have all been waiting for, or at least I have !!  Let's RIP the double RIP card and see if anyone guessed the contents right ! Here we go ! First thing that appeared were two black thin pieces of plastic, as indicated before by some, to make sure you can't use light to see what's in the RIP card without opening it.

Now let's move to the fun part ! As said, a double RIP card is supposed to contain 2 minis, or at least that is what most sites say. So here's what I found !  No-one guessed it exactly correct but two regular readers came close ! Combining the answers by Chris (Nachos Grande) and AJ (the Lost Collector) leads to the correct answers, i.e. a Yankees, Ellsbury, Mini-RIP card. So I consider them as "winners" of the contest and they should watch the mail box the coming weeks for a nice package from the Netherlands ! No 2nd mini in the RIP card by the way, "just" this one.

This provides me with the next dillema: To RIP or not to RIP !! Yes, it's a Yankee (since this season) and it's numbered to only 25 ! But hey, we are not going to stop here !! So let's RIP this one as well !! Here's what it got me !

A tiny mini Adrian Beltre 1/1. It's not metal, it's not wood, it's doesn't look glossy, but it is tiny and has a 1/1 stamp on the back. A shame it wasn't a redemption card for a set of framed-relics or any player I collect but of course the chances on that where tiny at best. So a little disappointed to be honest but it was a fun ride and I can take off my bucket list both Ripping a double-RIP card, a mini-RIP card and pulling a tiny mini 1/1.

Not sure yet what I am going to do with this one, most sell for a nice bit or maybe someone offers me a Glavine or Kershaw 1/1 for it !!
