Description
1971 Topps Nolan Ryan #513 PSA Mint 9 - None Higher! Nolan Ryan, by 1971, was still in the early stages of his Hall of Fame career, pitching for the New York Mets and showcasing the blazing fastball that would eventually make him MLB's all-time strikeout leader. Though his dominance was still developing, Ryan was already known for his overpowering stuff and potential to become something special. This card captures him before he became a household name, offering collectors a glimpse at a future legend on the rise.The 1971 Topps set is one of the most iconic and notoriously condition-sensitive issues in the hobby, largely due to its sleek black-bordered design. The dark edges are highly prone to chipping and wear, making high-grade examples exceptionally difficult to find more than five decades later. Ryan's card, #513, is part of the high-number series, further adding to its scarcity. Graded PSA Mint 9, this example is among the finest known, combining early-career significance with one of the most visually distinct designs in vintage baseball cards. One of thirty-one graded Mint with none higher.
