1968 Topps J.koosman/n.ryan #177

Solid middle-pack eye appeal with tilt and the cap issue affecting eye appeal.

This is a nice looking Ryan. Good color and registration. Card settles well. Slight centering tilt and surface disturbance on the cap hold it back from higher grade.

Nice copy. L/R centering a shade off. Little print dot in the purple Mets circle. Back off centering doesn’t bother me.

A little scuff on the Mets circle and Nolan’s hat but the card reads strong with sharp corners and centering.

Noticeable tilt & surface mark but solid copy regardless

Centering is close but there’s a slight tilt and surface blemish on the hat that holds this back for me.

The overall sharpness at first excited me, yet the marks in Nolan's cap quickly commanded attention. With a longer look, some tilt and a dot in the team circle emerged as well. Strong eye appeal but the flaws add up enough to knock it from the top tier.

Nice card with the clockwise tilt taking it out of the "A" tiers.

The centering is off and the card has a tilt. This bothers my eyes The card image and colors are strong and the borders are clean But the centering/tilt hold it back

Reasonably well-centered. A couple of white specks on Nolan's cap and a spot in the purple. Colors are good.
