Lot # 1665: 1968 Topps Milton Bradley #177 Nolan Ryan Rookie PSA NM-MT 8 (MBA Gold Diamond)

Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Stunning rookie example of New York Mets Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan from the Topps Milton Bradley set. The 1968 Topps Milton Bradley series includes 77 cards (a collection of standard Topps baseball, football, and Hot Rod cards) that were included in the "Win A Card" board game. The key card in the 1968 Milton Bradley set is the Ryan rookie card. Milton Bradley cards can be distinguished from the standard Topps series cards by their brighter yellow background on the reverse. This example has vibrant colors, exceptional print quality, and strong corners. The reverse is mostly clean and boldly printed. This is a spectacular example of one of modern card collecting's great classics, which would be a worthy addition to any world-class 1968 Topps set, Milton Bradley or Hall of Fame rookie-card collection. Awarded an MBA Gold Diamond by Mike Baker Authenticated for high-end eye appeal. A corresponding MBA sticker is affixed to the front of the holder.
