question about a fairly rare obsecure sealed pack

image

The most white backs of any card has a population of 9. This is actually one of the rarest sets (from what I have seen on ebay and collecting ryan for a long time) that topps has produced that nolan ryan was in. There are 3 graded ryans and I have never seen another white back on ebay. Over the years I think I have messaged 2000 sellers of this card asking about the back color and it is always gray (sellers never show backs of this card).

2 of the 3 that are graded show up in other ryan master set collections. They are both PSA 6.

The pack is still sealed, and I am contemplating breaking it open. Is there any way the card in the scan will be a PSA 6 or greater? I would love to hear your thoughts. My obsession is the ryan master set but possibly having the only sealed white back pack on earth also seems intriguing to me. What are your thoughts? More importantly, without seeing the back, what grade do you think this card is capable of?
I am working on the Nolan Ryan master set. Need 1004 more cards to complete. I might actually spend more on plastic than I did on cardboard.

    There's an ungraded one on ebay right now. Or, are you only looking for graded ones?

    Leave it seald. It looks sick the way it is.
  • Leave it sealed, it's already off center with a soft corner. This is coming from a guy that breaks everything.

    Are these really that difficult to find? I bought quite a few when they came out and in fact made a couple of complete sets of all the different cards on front of unopened packs. They were not very popular when they came out. And I do mean the white ones.
