This is a 1989 Donruss base set baseball card featuring Hall of Fame shortstop Cal Ripken Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles, designated as card number 51. The front of the card displays an action photograph of Ripken in his batting stance, framed by a black border with distinctive red and purple vertical accents. The player’s name and position, Cal Ripken ss, are printed in pink lettering along the left margin, with the Baltimore Orioles team logo in the upper left and the Donruss 89 logo in the lower right. The reverse side is printed on yellow cardstock and features comprehensive player information, including biographical data, a statistical table covering his performance from 1984 to 1988, and a section for career highlights. The copyright line on the reverse identifies the producer as 1988 Leaf, Inc. and states the card was printed in the USA.
