TOP 25 Most Valuable Nolan Ryan Baseball Cards ever sold - Topps Rookie Card?

[@stolnpckup]

Thanks for the cards. I had to look through my Nolan cards. He was most favorite player. I even saw him in Cooperstown. When he was inducted in the hall of fame.

[@stevelubbehusen5842]

Same. I was hooked when i saw his 5th no hitter as a kid on TV. 12 yrs old I think. I followed him ever since. I have collected his cards...... We went to Cooperstown when he was inducted. what a great memory. people reserving their spots with blankets and chairs the day before. playing catch on the hill.....great memories.

I just looked through my old collection and found I have the 1974 and 1978. I don’t think either of them would grade a 10, but I think I might send them.

I am a collector. Not an investor. So this means that I have found a home with you😊. I like what the other guy has done to bring a prospective of the value of our craft and the lengths that a driven market can reach. I am not a financially wealthy man and I do not have half a million dollars to drop this weekend in Atlanta or wherever. I am from the grassroot. Each and every card I have in my collection I've literally felt the reprocussion in my wallet, sometimes for days. Many times I've chosen cards over milk and eggs. But I love it and I'm so proud of where I am. You my boy give the detailing and prospective of a true collector. This is where I will be parking

[@richardpayne5345]

My uncle gave me a lot of his baseball cards he collected one of them was the 1968 rookie card on your number one with I remember looking it up in the magazine and it was only valued at $5,000 or $6,000 at the time that is crazy how is sold for way much more almost 15 years later I still have the card I was just looking at it about 2 weeks ago it is still in the slip and still in mine baseball card album

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Nice! Thats definitely one of Nolan Ryan's most collectible cards. I would take extra special care of that card and thank your uncle lol 👍👍thanks for sharing

[@johngibson8047]

[@robertromeo3765]

I remember l was in element school back in 1968, and l was in the schoolyard openings a pack of baseball cards and had that card of Jerry Koosman and Gary Gentry you showed. Who knew it would be that valuable. Three really modern baseball players who were very popular in the early years with their clubs were Johnny Bench of the Reds, Vida Blue with the As, and Lenny Dykstra of the Mets.

Hello my name is Michael and I do construction /remodeling. The last house I did had a box of over 200,000 cards and memorabilia. In the collection is about 80 different nolan ryan cards. None graded but all in mint condition. You said comment which ones I have .. I have quite a few of those some in doubles/ triples. I also have the number 1. I wanted to know what my best options to grading and possibly selling.

[@garenhuddy2633]

Maybe some UFC, Golf, Boxing, WWE, or some off sport top 25 list would be cool of PSA gradings. Trying to think outside the box. Also I dont know if you collect non sport, but pokemon and magic the gathering PSA grading would be different and bring in other subscribers. A black lotus psa 10 alpha sells for over 150k which is crazy for being a non sport card from the 90s.

To have any card from 70's Era topps sets is amazing

[@guitardudeguy3139]

I have several of these cards ungraded. But, condition is the thing...centering on all of mine are off. Condition is great.. just centering, centering, centering. It's unfortunate that QC at Topps is so horrible. Even today. I've pulled 2019 cards straight from the pack that are just.. not centered. I guess if they were all perfect they would be worth 5cents a piece. Is it good or bad? Should Topps have better quality today ? Or should it be a crap shoot like it is now.

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

lol, I've pulled plenty of modern cards that looked like they were cut with 1950's technology as well. I'm not sure where the fault lies but it is a great question. I would think that by now Topps has developed laser technology that cut the cards flawlessly. If they were all gem mint 10 then the value would be devastatingly lower though.

I wonder where the 1968 O-Pee-Chee and 1968 Milton Bradley cards would rank. Also, the 1971 O-Pee-Chee is rarer in high grade, so would likely sell for more today than the 1971 Topps.

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Yep, the highest grade Ryan and Koosman card sold was a PSA 8 which sold for $10,800 this month, I could have added it to the list but I guess I overlooked it. You're right about the '71 o-pee-chee selling for more than the Topps if sold today. The scarcity would surely drive the price up!

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Brian Beckworth in order for that card to be valued at that price it needs to be graded and slabbed in gem mint condition. Unless you pulled the card directly from the pack yourself chances are it won’t grade that high. You may get lucky and get a 8 or even a 9. If your concerned about theft or loss then choose insurance when mailing to PSA. USPS offers great insurance options 👍
