1989 Fleer Baseball Wax Pack – Billy Ripken On Back – Possible FF Error – Vintage Sealed Pack

Up for sale is a vintage 1989 Fleer Baseball wax pack featuring Billy Ripken on the back of the pack.

This pack has been in my personal collection since the late 1980s and has remained stored for decades.

📦 Background / History

I originally had a small baseball card shop as a kid and would often check wax packs for notable players showing on the back. This pack stood out because it featured Billy Ripken, and based on what I remember at the time, I believed it may have been tied to the “FF error” version.

I placed the small stickers on the pack myself many years ago (likely late 80s / early 90s), noting what I thought was inside. I have not verified this since and am not guaranteeing the contents — just sharing the history as I remember it.
