Question/Help on a Nolan Ryan Rookie

I know the pics aren't great. Had to use my phone, and the guy was closing up, and the card is in a thick case. I took two of front and back hope that helps. Any thoughts on guessing a grade, and the max you'd pay for it? If the lower left corner on the back isn't rounded, that's just the case. Thought the upper right corner is dinged a little. Thanks.

    That corner does looked dinged but then again so does the one that isn't rounded. They're not coming out too clear for me.

    Scans are worthless.

    I haven't even had my six drinks for tonight and it is really blurry and too hard to tell.

    Yeah, I know. I tried my best. Maybe I can get some better ones. I apologize. Like I said, the shop was closing, I had like no time, and the guy was very clear to let me know he was closing.

    Tough to tell the condition ... what's not tough to tell is that the card will get an O/C designation.

    Didn't mean to be harsh, but with scans like those you just can't offer much in the way of advice. Card is off-center towards the top. Nice side to side.

    If the guy was any good at customer service and interested in making a sale he certainly could have waited until you got what you needed.

    Will definitely get an OC so take that into consideration when evaluating the card.

    I would be very hesitant to buy a card in a screw down holder like that. They can really damage the surface when removed from holder.

    I thought maybe it was too O/C from top to bottom too, and yes those screw down holder scared me a bit too.

    The card was listed at 750, but he said the best he could do was 550. I can find a graded 6 in that ballpark off the Bay.

    Even with bad pics, your input was helpful. I was hoping my evaluation was similar to what was said, so I appreciate it. Trying to improve at looking over raw cards. Next time I'll do a better job on this end with the pics. Thanks again!

    550 for that? I'd pass
