1971 Topps Nolan Ryan #513

notorious for blemishes noticeable in the black. this held up better than most although the 1 big done on right and edgewear on that side

Small white print spot on the border towards the bottom right. Great image.

Really good eye appeal. The white mark and side centering prevent the highest badges is all.

It's hard for any 71 Ryan to make my top tier yet this one struts past the velvet rope. Mild side centering shift and a mark in the lower right border make impact, but the black is clean, centering strong, and edges largely great.
