1967 Topps Mets team card is Nolan Ryan's RC.

Are there people who claim Nolan Ryan is pictured on the 1967 Mets team card? I've never heard that one before.

There are people who think so. But if you search you will find an in-depth analysis. Conclusion: he isn't in the photo, but he has stats on the back from a 2 game call-up in 1966.

Thank you. To me, just looking at each player shows that he is not pictured. I dare say, that no one even comes close to resembling him...but I do think I see Joe Jackson.

Yes this would be news to me too. I have seen an 8x10 of the formation for the team card and no mention of Ryan that I recall.

No. But his name is on the back.

But… Ken Griffey Jr. IS pictured on the back of his dad’s 1988 Topps Big card… sort of.
