Aside from being a beautifully designed card with an always great sig from #8 (whose signature consistency matches his consistency on the field), I think it straddles the line of "impossible pull" and "still somewhat reasonably obtained" really nicely. It stands out as one of the earliest heavily marketed inserts in the junk wax era (the series started in 1991 so Donruss capitalized on its popularity for the 1992 release), and no doubt paved the way for numbered autos/inserts down the line. And if you're going with just one of Ryno, Cal, or Will the Thrill (the autos from 1991-1993), imo Cal Stands Alone.
Great article about the Signature Series line here:

Great call on the Ripken auto, it is legendary.
