Nice Ryan. Mine (an SGC 4) possesses equally good centering, but has some pink print damage on the back, and some of the little print dots on his sleeves, which although not uncommon, is obviously not on all of them. The back damage (worse) doesn’t bother me; the front (most would consider minor) kinda does. Not sure why I’m built that way, but…

I digress. My favorite early Ryan card might be the ‘70 high number. Kind of a strange pose, but when the photo is clear it’s beautiful it’s a nice one - and Nolan still looks like he’s about 13 years old.
