I am a huge Nolan Ryan collector: he's my all-time favorite athlete, and one of the main focuses of my collection. As such, I've seen and obtained many of his autographs over the past 40 years.
That real one you posted above, is the first authentic Ryan I can remember ever seeing. Every single one of these cards I recall seeing has been fake.
I've often wondered if a real, authentically autographed version of this card even exists at all, as I said above, I don't think I've ever seen one until this thread.
