1971 Topps Nolan Ryan #513

Strong centering, but edge damage/corners hold this back for me as it’s noticeable with the black borders.

I like the centering and image but a little bit too much corner wear for my liking.

If the top right corner was like the bottom corners, this flirts with A- for me. I am not big on corners bit with 1971 and 1962 wear does show more than others. Maybe 1975 and 1953 (the colored corner) are close in that sense. Shout out to the fantastic centering.

centering nice but borders not so nice. The edges and corners nicked up stand out do to the Black borders. The card image and colors are good but could be better

Punches way above its weight due to truly perfect centering and focus. I am always bummed when my favorite Ryan card has an out of focus image. This is probably my favorite card in the decade. The classic '71 edge and corner wear is the sole issue eye appeal wise here.
