ORIOLES FUTURE STARS | 1982 TOPPS 21 | BONNER/RIPKEN/SCHNEIDER | PSA MINT 9

PSA Graded Card - Certification #63914135 - Grade: MINT 9

This iconic card from the 1982 Topps Baseball set is known as the Orioles Future Stars rookie card, featuring three players: Bob Bonner (Shortstop), Cal Ripken Jr. (3rd Base), and Jeff Schneider (Pitcher). The card has a horizontal layout with three headshot photos and player positions named beside each. The right side features bright blue and purple text reading 'BALTIMORE ORIOLES FUTURE STARS', while the classic Topps logo sits at the bottom right corner. The borders have green accent lines, and the layout is typical for rookie trio cards of the early 1980s. The card shown is in a PSA Mint 9 holder. No refractor, holofoil, or modern printing technology is present; it's standard for early 1980s Topps with an all-cardboard construction. This particular card is highly desirable mainly for the inclusion of Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr.'s rookie card. It is distinguished from other issues by the trio photo and its place early in Ripken's legendary career.
