BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Cal Ripken Jr., Commemorative Coca-Cola Bottle and Canister Collection, Unauthenticated This lot features a collection of commemorative Coca-Cola memorabilia honoring Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame shortstop Cal Ripken Jr. The items celebrate Ripken’s 21-year tenure with the Orioles and his historic achievement of surpassing Lou Gehrig’s consecutive games played record with his 2,131st game. The collection includes one unopened 8 oz. glass bottle of Coca-Cola Classic, featuring a custom label designed to resemble an Orioles jersey with Ripken’s number 8 and “21 Years” text. Additionally, the lot contains eight commemorative cylindrical canisters or sleeves. These canisters display action graphics of Ripken batting, a portrait, and the milestone number “2-1-3-1” around the upper rim. These are mass-produced commemorative items and do not include individual third-party authentication.
Condition report:
The Coca-Cola bottle remains factory sealed and full with the original cap. The eight canisters show minor shelf wear and aging typical for collectibles from the mid-1990s. One canister in the group is missing its black plastic lid. Graphics remain bright with no significant fading.
