Hey, mannn, check out this groovy 1972 Topps Nolan Ryan, man! It's a PSA 10, man! Farrr out! All kidding aside, folks, you are looking at one of thee single most coveted cards in the highly competitive race for ultra high-grade, early 70s Nolan Ryan issues. One of just 6 examples of this perennial fan-favorite issue to climb the gilded grading ladder to the pinnacle position of GEM MINT 10 from a staggering total of 2,800+ submissions, making it by far one of the most-submitted cards from the entire distorted decade of the 1970s on record at PSA. Whether it's the almost plastic-looking pristine corners and edges, the immaculate centering, the perfect image registration, or the perfect saturation of the psychedelic colors of the card's design, the presented specimen unquestionably exudes that special pop or flare common to all GEM MINT masterpieces. Most likely it's the combination of all these uncommon factors, coupled with its status as one of the most popular Ryan cards ever produced, that should rightfully generate special interest from sincere collectors in positions fortunate enough to keep pushing the boundaries for the best material the high-grade Ryan market has to offer. A very rare opportunity to acquire a GEM MINT masterpiece of a card that has long been cherished as an icon of the hobby, and how often, really, do opportunities to view, let alone bid on, a PSA 10 GEM MINT example of such a legendary, no... for some reason that just doesn't feel right... epic hobby icon of such immortal, mile-high stature come along? That's better. Very highly recommended from your friends at MHCC.
