Description

Graded MINT+ 9.5 by SGC. Only two examples graded higher out of 6,724 cards evaluated by SGC to date! This is an extraordinary ultra-high-grade example of New York Mets Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan's rookie card, one of the keys to the 1968 Topps set and one of the most famous of all Topps cards. The 1968 Topps set is prone to many different problems, including centering issues and print quality. This card is stunning in all respects. The centering is outstanding. All four corners are sharp. The colors are vibrant and bold. The reverse is clean and boldly printed. This card would be at home in any world-class Hall of Fame or rookie-card collection and would be a significant upgrade to any high-grade set. This is a spectacular ultra-high-grade example of one of modern card collecting's great classics. Awarded an MBA Silver Diamond by Mike Baker Authenticated for high-end eye appeal. A corresponding MBA sticker is affixed to the front of the holder.
