May Pickups...
Wow, you can tell cards are getting even more stupidly expensive, because no one is seemingly buying anything these days. It is the afternoon of May 3rd, and there hasn't been a monthly pickups thread created until now. Yowza!!
Speaking of 'overpriced' (your opinion may vary) cards, were it not for a big chunk of credit card points, I would've had to pass this one by. I am convinced Nolan Ryan cards will continue to go crazily upwards as it gets harder and harder to afford other illustrious superstars like Mantle (duh!), Aaron, Mays, Koufax and Clemente, so I made it happen. 1971 Topps #513 Nolan Ryan. It has the obligatory centering found on this card, but the focus is sharp (my scanner lacks the CCD element) and the only thing blacker than those borders is the mold in my shower. There's no evidence present, but if I had to guess, I'd say the submitter had the choice of getting either a PSA 8 OC or the straight PSA 6 (asking for no qualifiers) and opted for the latter... 1971ryan513PSA6.jpg
