Very nice, but the "XRC" ain't no card, not by any reasonable definition.

Even if that's not technically a card, still an awesome collection. I'm a big Nolan Ryan fan and would love to own any one of those.

But alas, what is the poor guy who collects Koosman to do? What a wad he'd have to have!
Great collection!
May your collecting bring some of the most treasured moments in your life,

Wow! No easy task getting those 4 Ryan rookies at those grades with the eye-appeal. A major accomplishment to say the least. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

For my money the best dual rookie card ever and maybe most iconic of the 1960s. Certainly was a holy grail of mine for a long time as a kid.

Beautiful group Bob. Can you show the back of the PSA 9 Topps Ryan? It really looks like a Milton Bradley card to me. PSA may have gotten this one wrong. Bob, if you compare the back of this card to your other MB and also to other known 1968 Topps cards' backs; most likely the lighter yellow color will be closer in hue to the MB card and very much lighter than the regular issue Topps backs.
If it is indeed an MB, congrats because this is a tough card in this high grade.
Great cards!

Congrats! Very nice looking Ryan rookie cards. The eye appeal on all of those is great.
Would love to one day have a Brooksie MB card in an 8; maybe one day.

Bob, thanks for posting a scan of the back of the 9. To me, the color of the back of the card looks more Topps than MB. How does it compare in color next to another 68 Topps card? Also, how does it look next to your other MB? Just curious.
Again, great group.

Beautiful set and what a Venezuelan.
The 9 is a regular Topps and not an MB.

Particularly fond of the Venezuelan and the imho under appreciated O Pee Chee. Thanks for sharing.
