There are legit reasons why Ryan's RC should be worth considerably more than Carlton's. Ryan is the K king, and he did it with style. 7 no-hitters. He's also become almost an iconic symbol associated with Texas tough. He's also more handsome and personable than Carlton ever was.
Relative to his accomplishments, the Carlton RC is undervalued. I would put him in the Frank Robinson camp in terms of that. Also, it's not a particularly attractive RC despite it coming from an attractive set. I think it's possible the Fritz Ackley unibrow also has a detrimental impact on the value.
