Ever seen this card before?

I acquired this card of Nolan Ryan as part of a mini-collection recently. No MLBPA or other licensing details listed anywhere, although team logos haven't been airbrushed out, so it's probably odd even by oddball standards and of dubious legitimacy (note to the curious--I didn't go after the lot to get this card). I thought if nothing else it would be entertaining to find out a) if anyone's seen it before and b) what if anything folks know about it aside from what I could pick up just by looking at it. Date of issue is pretty clearly 1990, as it commemorates Ryan's 6th no-hitter, and the back states a print run of 10,000.

Sorry to tell you but that's one of those early 90s "broder" cards... not licensed by anyone... cards like that are the barnacles of the collecting world and have no value. Too bad, because sometimes the cards are pretty good looking.

Keith, thanks for the reminder - jeez, I remember seeing cases full of those Broders at deserted dealer tables in the early 90s.

Hey Keith - I might have a really cool story to tell you later on today. I think you'll get a kick out of it.
