A lifelong fan has spent 28 years collecting ticket stubs from every game of Cal Ripken Jr.'s record-breaking 2,632-game consecutive playing streak, with only eight tickets remaining to complete his collection.
Elmira, NY, October 23, 2026 —
A lifelong fan is eight ticket stubs away from completing a collection tied to Cal Ripken Jr.’s record-breaking streak of 2,632 consecutive games played. The fan has spent 28 years gathering tickets from games in the streak, according to the available information.
The collection’s stated goal is to include a ticket stub from every game in the streak. The fan has not yet completed it, with eight tickets still needed. The information provided does not identify the collector or explain how the missing tickets have been difficult to obtain.
Ripken’s consecutive-game streak lasted 2,632 games, and the ticket collection follows that same run. No further details were provided about the games represented by the remaining stubs, the number of tickets already collected, or how the fan has assembled them over the past 28 years.
The account also does not specify when the collecting effort began, where the fan lives, or whether the remaining tickets are being sought from particular sources. No expected completion date was provided. The collector’s name and any comments from the fan were not included in the information available.
For now, the collection remains unfinished, with eight stubs separating the lifelong fan from the stated goal. The 28-year effort centers on documenting Ripken’s full consecutive-game streak through tickets from its games; further information about the collection or the search for the final items was not provided.
