Default Mint HOF Cards

This is my only “Mint” graded vintage card. While I get that this was not per se a difficult set in higher grades, I’m very pleased with it. The centering is pretty much dead on - off maybe a click to the right - and in Nolan Ryan’s greatest season - this is a nice alternate card to his ‘73 Topps. I love the vintage Angels road uniform detail, and the fact that on the back - Nolan’s “hobby” is listed as hunting. Those kind of cool details absolutely make great vintage cards. Last sentence of the bio on the back: “There’s no doubt the move to Anaheim appears to have given Nolan the confidence and maturity that could make him one of the game’s all-time great pitchers.” Prophetic much?
