Baltimore Orioles Fan Has Eight Ticket Stubs Left to Complete Ripken Streak Collection
For 28 years, lifelong Baltimore Orioles fan Rick Taylor has been collecting ticket stubs from every game of Cal Ripken Jr.'s record-breaking 2,632-game consecutive streak, with only 8 tickets left to complete his collection.
Topeka, KS, October 23, 2026 —
Rick Taylor, a lifelong Baltimore Orioles fan, is missing eight ticket stubs from a collection documenting Cal Ripken Jr.’s record-breaking streak of 2,632 consecutive games. Taylor has spent 28 years collecting stubs from games in the streak, according to the information provided.
The collection is close to completion, but the available details do not identify which eight games are still missing their tickets. They also do not explain how Taylor has gathered the stubs over the years or where the collection is kept.
Ripken’s 2,632-game run is described as record-breaking in the summary of Taylor’s effort. The collection focuses on tickets associated with each game in that streak. No additional information was provided about the dates of the games, the venues represented, or whether Taylor has displayed or shared the collection publicly.
The 28-year span gives a measure of the time involved in the project, while the eight remaining tickets mark how close it is to completion. The information provided does not include Taylor’s age, occupation, or comments about the collection, and no quotes were supplied.
For now, the central details are the scope and duration of the undertaking: Taylor has spent nearly three decades assembling ticket stubs tied to Ripken’s consecutive-game record and has eight left to find. Further specifics about the missing tickets and the collection’s history were not available.
