1971 Topps Nolan Ryan #513

Love the centering and the edges and corners look much better than most 71s I've seen. A little surface wear along the right edge and a ding in the top right corner are minor issues that do not affect the overall appeal much.

This card is firing on all cylinders. Extremely difficult to find in this condition. The snow in the top right corner and down the right border are only noticeable when zoomed in max power. The chip off the top right corner is the only thing keeping it out of GT for me. Huzzah!

Very nice centering and minimal edge wear. The black borders look fairly clean. One of my favorite cards of Nolan and this example doesn't disappoint.

I really like the look of the card with minor speckling holding it back from being top Tier.

Let's take this piece by piece, then overall: 1. The top left corner is Gem freaking mint. Bottom two corners look 9 and 8.5 level. Top right is touched at tip. 2. Edges. The top, left, and bottom are perfect. Right touched lightly. 3. Image is focused. Many are not. 4. Centering perfect. Basically overall one touched corner from God Tier. Better be an 8.5 or 8 on a bad day.

Wow. Nicely centered the absolute minimal touches. Wow. Beautiful example. Has to be at least an 8?
