How I Arrived at the Hobby Score
This card received an 81.5 overall Hobby Score.
The 1982 Fleer Cal Ripken Jr. Rookie Card #176 is one of three widely recognized Ripken rookies, released during the same year as his Topps Traded and Donruss counterparts. Fleer’s early '80s cards are known for their charm and raw feel—but also for notable print quality issues like centering and image clarity.
This Fleer rookie features Ripken alongside two other Orioles players, making it less visually focused on him compared to his Topps or Donruss solo rookie cards. Still, it's a legitimate RC from a foundational year for the modern hobby.
While not the most sought-after of Ripken’s rookie trio, this card remains an essential piece of his early cardboard history. The 81.5 score reflects its lower market demand but lasting place in the hobby due to Ripken’s incredible career and legacy.
