1971 O-Pee-Chee #513 Nolan Ryan SGC 9 MINT Highest Graded - 1 of 1!
THE EXPRESS!!! In 1971, Mets 24-year-old flamethrower was on the precipice of a breakout season when New York dealt him to the California Angels. In southern California, Ryan would emerge as one of the premier pitchers in the American League and begin his march to a Major League Baseball record of 5,714 strikeouts for his Hall of Fame career. This 1971 O-Pee-Chee #513 features the hard-throwing right hander in his final season as a Met. This incredibly well-preserved 1971 Ryan from north of the border remains in spectacular condition as expected from a MINT 9 example. With razor-sharp corners and edges and virtually flawless borders, particularly susceptible to wear and chipping, this beauty has earned the MINT 9 assessment from SGC and is the ONE and ONLY at this grade with not a single card graded higher. This rare Hall of Fame card is one of the finest in existence and deserving of a second look. Don’t strike out on this highest graded Nolan Ryan from O-Pee-Chee.
