2024 Lunch Box Leftovers (similar to Garbage Pail Kids) parody of the Ripken FF. Made by the Super Secret Fun Club. These are the two 'base' versions. Cards #86a and #86b. "Home Ron" and "Sluggin Duggan" posing with the "Funk Face" bat. Designs inspired by the 1979 movie "The Warriors". Other serial numbered variations of these are out there to collect as well.
New pickup in 2025! Pretty rare to find '89 Fleer factory scraps. They surface from time to time but it's normally the original FF version. It's extremely rare to find anything out of the ordinary for the White Scribble version! Poor condition but that really doesn't matter for this piece. The hand written three digit numbers must have been done at the factory as part of some sort of quality control. Employee ID number or simply counting the discarded sheets. Other versions of they sheet cut cards have been seen with three numbers written on them.
New for 2025. From well known popular Paris based artist Ermsy. Contributor to Project 2020 and Project 70 issues. Crazy tribute to the FF! These were available in different versions as well. Regular (white) #/60, Black /20, Silver Auto /20, Gold Auto /5, Hand Customized fronts /7 and even a few different, unique signed 1/1 versions. The artist even sent me a personally customized Black version - signed on the back too. A 'one-of-one' with a personal touch!
New pickup from a couple months ago. Another Circle Scribble (CS3) saw-cut example - but with a twist.
I have always believed CS3s and CS4 are basically the same but with different levels of blank ink coverage on the knob. This new card has a cut that matches a CS4 I've known about for nearly 20 years. Same cut - just more or less ink on the knob.
Looking at a full uncut 132 card Black Box only sheet, there are a few 'print alignment' marks on the middle row of the sheet. Here are a couple examples of mostly centered BBox cards that must have been located in the middle of those sheets - each displaying one or two horizontal print alignment marks. The horizontal marks can also be found on the top of off centered cards from the row beneath. Cheap fun. Anything related to the FF!
Recent 'FF Art' additions from late 2024. Love seeing all of these new creations! Check out their work!
1) From hardlyhardart on Instagram. Pink, Gold Foil version. 10 made but not individually numbered.
2) From reelbraddavis on Instagram. Numbered to 25 on the back.
Announced late last month by Topps - The 2024 Jackson Holliday 1/1 Fun Face Bat knob has been pulled. The Fun Face was a great idea and I'm glad Topps included a few dual autos of Ripken and Holliday together. Anything and Everything related to the FF!
