1976 Topps Nolan Ryan PSA 10

Based on the scan, I don't like the card, but very curious to see how high this goes.

Rick, if this goes over 6K, I'll be sending you mine. BOOYAH

    How could that get a 10 with all that snow? I should have submitted the ones I have with snow on them knowing that.

    About a week ago, I noticed the POP went from 4 to 5. I submitted 3 '76s a couple of months ago and one I thought was better than my 10.

    PSA Response: NO 10 FOR YOU It's been cracked and re-submitted and I'll continue to crack and re-submit until I get the friendly grader.

    I'm ok, but not thrilled, with the snow on the card. I don't like the corners, nor the very slight diamond cut. Couple that with the centering
    on the back, and to me, it lacks the eye appeal quality.

    Be sure you're not mistaking the card being shifted in the slab as a diamond cut.

    You could be right. I need glasses, but won't admit it yet.

    There seems to be a lot of chipping along the bottom border, seen under the 'zoom' feature.

    Not a fan of the tilted diamond cut, nor the off center back.

    I know it falls within the guide lines I'm sure, but not enough eye appeal IMO.

    PSA Registry is a powerful drug. If cheap enough, I would not have any problem buying the holder and owning 2 of POP 5 and hope another one pops up for auction.

    Did anyone see the smudge/discoloration at the bottom of the back of the card. It's to the left of the word "twice". Wouldn't that normally keep it out of a "10" holder?

    Bottom right corner and bottom edge look less than gem, but the pink/yellow looks vibrant (at least based on the scan).

    Might just be my eyes, but T/B centering, though within guidelines, is not perfect

    This is a fantastic looking card. I have no problem with this in a 10 holder. I am not an expert on this card and there may be issues that have kept others out of a 10, but this has tremendous eye appeal and an overall beautiful card.

    The tilt that was referenced appears to me to be the card in the holder and not the card itself.

    With many cards really breaking out to the upside I would suspect this goes much higher from here. The auction count is already at 479 page views so a ton of eye balls are checking this bad boy out.

    Good luck Rick with the sale.

    That looks like a 10 to me ... and perhaps the snow you're seeing is from the scanner.

    I get the same kind of dust on mine sometimes. >>



    Nope it's on the card. The two scans of the front of the card are different yet both have those issues in the exact same spots. No way it would line up perfectly if the card was moved on the scanner bed. It's a gift of a 10 in my opinion.

    Never been a good bluffer under 6K I'm grabbing it, over 7500, I'm sending you mine.

    I was conversing with a guy that fell into a large MINT lot of '76s and he said he had a chance to pull a Ryan 10. If it's the same guy, congrats to him.
    Lost his E-Mail. This was about 2 months back. Noticed the POP bump 2 weeks ago.

    Clear case of buying the holder, not the card!

    As already listed above that card has mutiple issues front and back that SHOULD
    have kept it out of a 10 holder.

    No way, even with the leeway they give a reverse that that back is even close to
    a 10!

    Very ugly smudge/pd or whatever it is on bottom back.

    For sh1ts and g1ggl3s, I had previously placed a few cards on UniSquare just to test the waters. A couple of cheaper BIN RC's, excess '84 Ryan's,
    a higher priced Ryan, and a single auction of low-pop Schmidt with a reserve. The waters are not good in terms of views. I know that I priced
    them above VCP.

    All of a sudden, the UniSquare Ryan is getting quite a bit of activity. It'll never happen, but I'd like to see one of the '73s come up for
    auction.

    Sorry for keeping the Ryan thread going, but I am a Ryan/Mantle/Schmidt nut, in that order.

    Left edge and top left corner look pretty ugly, right? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

    Not mine, I'm pretty much a buyer and I rarely sell any Ryan's unless I receive a ridiculous offer.
