Collecting Astros, Nolan Ryan
The Ryan Press out. Even though he went into the Chamber of Fame as a Ranger, I will always be a fan of Nolan Ryan. Most of my crowd of him are base and inserts, with one GU and one oddball that I cannot find advice about (scan forthcoming). There’re so many cards I’d delight in to have of him, including Autographs, but of career the holy grails are the 1968 Topps and 1968 Topps Venezuelan issues.
Naturally, what I have is after the cut.
