It was a known pose in the N172 set, but was not known to exist in the larger N173 cabinets.

Russ- considering what a Ryan rookie was worth in the early 80's and how the card has really tailed off lately, you got better than a great deal, you got a helluva deal. Congrats!

The Mets traded Nolan Ryan for Jim Fregosi in one of the worst deals ever.

And Russ traded Nolan Ryan for an N173 Jake Beckley- one of the best deals ever!

Nice pickup and a dandy swap. Hopefully, one of Beckley's relatives doesn't get a hold of this thread on your birthday. That is a wicked combination.

Lovely Day...

Thank you for posting Russ, a great story, a great card.

Thanks to you, we are up to 24 or 27 HOFers available in cabinet form and available outside of museum collections. The three cabinets that continue to elude collectors being Griffith, McPhee, & Galvin. As for the next to be discovered, I'll put my money on Galvin (3 known in museum collections).
