Recent pickup this past summer. Original FF error card with a neat white print dot. It instantly reminded me of a kiss. It's a recurring print dot - I've seen a few now over the years.

Found these recently for less than $2. Some sort of German postcard (Postkarte) with the FF image on it? Not really sure what these are. The seller had no idea either. Who would do this and why?? Thoughts? Long Live the FF! billripken.com@gmail.com
A newly graded Circle Scribble (CS1) w/o saw-cut recently sold on eBay for only $60!! I have only seen one or two of these. The seller obviously didn't know what he had. VERY RARE in any grade. Someone got a steal on this one! Happy Hunting!
Nice set of four metal 3.5" trading pins featuring the F-Face error and three of it's corrected versions. Produced by eBay seller 'hsquared' for a New Jersey Little League. Individually numbered on the back. billripken.com@gmail.com
New pickup. Just a normal Black Scribble w/ Loop. This example has the factory saw-cut to the left side of the knob. Pretty sure I haven't seen that location with this version. Something different for me....
A couple recent custom / parody cards I've seen for sale on eBay:
"Glunkert Kids" Billy Ripkid "Snot Face" & "806 Customs Original" F@#k Face.
Has to be my pickup of the year! A 'White Scribble' version with a little more yellow ink? Closer examination revealed not only more yellow ink but the F@%k Face words are clearly written (in yellow only) on the knob. Interesting 'version within a version'. Exciting addition addition to the collection!
New pickup in 2026! I had a saved picture of one of these from about 10 years ago - but had yet to see one for sale. Black Scribble (No F) version with two cuts! This version is tough to find with one cut - much less two.
Recently picked up these 3 'print dot' varieties. Nothing special - just 'Dots' in new locations (for me). Cheap dollar stuff that is fun to scan and examine up close.
Another cheap pickup. Looks like some black ink smudging on a Black Box version. Fun for a couple $$ to scan and examine. Who knows....
Recent pickup. F-Face error card with a nicely placed factory saw-cut / slit. Right down the center of the bat knob. Terrible condition but.... Likely a discarded dumpster find from 1989.
This month (April 8th, 2026 to be exact) I watched a rare Circle Scribble (CS1) FF version sell for nearly $1000! SGC authenticated saw-cut cards have been commanding strong prices.
New-ish pickup. Black Box corrected card with a slight ink offset as well as a nice print dot on the letter B in BILL. Cheap fun addition.
One bat, two photos. 1999 Minor League cards from Travis Hafner & Ryan Sienko of the Savannah Sand Gnats. "Chicks Dig the Long Ball".
New cheap pickup! Just another regular corrected Black Box version with a random purple print dot on the lower Orange Bar. Nice Pinkish/Purple half circle. Not a new 'version' - just a fun oddity to add to the collection.
I decided to give the website a quick/cheap refresh. Simplified. I've done about half of it so far. It's been too long. Work in progress....
New pickup in 2026. FF error card with some nice print defects. Offset ink or shadow effects on the front and back.
2025 Gruesome Gang Cardz (GPK like) featuring 'Bad Mouth Bill'. Wooden 'knob' insert and individually numbered to 50 on the back.
