the Andre the giant is not the same as the nolan ryan. The Andre the giant is labeled as a collectible photo on the magazine cover and was clearlyy intended to be cut out. Just because you may not particularly like it does not make it a non collectible. I agree with those ripping the Ryan from the sporting news as it was not intended to be a collectible on its own, but the Andre the giant is clearly meant to be cut out, despite being on a magazine page, and is labeed as such on the front cover. Yes i understand they are refered to as wallet size photos on the 1973 cover, later issues say trading cards (1978 & 1981), they were still meant to be cut out and collected, a completely different animal from the Ryan.
