He was injured some in 1975, pitching 198 innings, down from over 300 the year before. And Matt, cool Ryan collection. Now you just have to go after the other Ryan cards from the 70's. |

Still, it is quite impressive that he rarely dealt with injuries when it seems so common for many pitchers today. By the way, my favorite Ryan card from this group is the 1971 Topps. I just love the action shot. Last edited by Samsdaddy; 01-19-2014 at 06:18 AM. |

Another beautiful run. I love looking at your posts. I always coveted the 68 Topps growing up, and it was one of the first cards I picked up when I returned to the hobby. Mine is pictured below. Not nearly the example you have, but I grabbed this before starting my Mantle run where $100-200 still seemed like a crazy price to spend on a card:

Wow-- looks from the scan like that auto RC has no tilt and great left right centering? Must have killer eye appeal in hand.
Really, Ryan's career will come to boggle the mind as today's elite pitchers struggle to hit the lofty 3000k plateau. I mean, nearly 6000? Daaaaaamn. |

I always thought the Royal Crown in the background was somewhat prophetic perhaps.

I love how Ryan was careful to sign around his face with the autograph on that Rookie. Very nice.

Thanks Drew. I have never noticed that before, very interesting. And, it does not look like he hesitated at all with the signature either.

Great cards and good luck with the run!
The '77 Topps Ryan is a sweet card with a great photo. If and when a PSA 9 shows up with nice centering there's usually a fight for it, so be prepared. ![]() |

Probably my favorite player of all time.....the K record is out of control. No one will have the longevity to get that record. It's a shame he didn't pitch on some stronger teams that would give him more run support. His win total might be closer to a Maddux/Spahn number.
I work for UPS Airlines and around 1993 or so when he was finishing up, I decided to jumpseat to Dallas to watch him pitch....by myself....and then back home. The only game I ever saw live with him. I remember watching a no hitter of his by chance for the Astros I believe after turning it on on a Saturday I think. Great Nolan cards. Another REALLY cool card is the 1971 O-Pee-Chee. It has a picture of his face in the center of the back of the card. It was a really neat one. Love that auto. When I was in Houston for work a couple different times, I drove over to Alvin, TX where his foundation was located to drop off some stuff to be autographed HOPING I could catch him there doing it but that didn't pan out. Great cards Matt........ |
