You are bidding on a RARE 1979 Signature Miniatures Nolan Ryan card. Commemorates Nolan's 4th No-hitter with the California Angels. Artwork and a facsimile signature are on the front of the card, with printed stats through the 1978 season on the back. Artwork by P. Herek. Measures 3 1/2 x 4 7/8". Card is in near mint condition. This card is very condition sensitive due to the black borders; however there is very minimal and barely noticeable white on the borders of this card. The Nolan News Master Checklist and Price Guide lists this card for $500 - $750. The Signature Miniatures cards were included in a box with a pewter statue of each player. There were approximately 20 players in the set, including Lou Gehrig, George Brett, Rod Carew, Steve Garvey, and other Hall of Famers. There was one player card and corresponding statue per box. Not many of the Ryan cards are known to exist as the company went bankrupt before the cards were released in 1979. It is very uncertain if the Ryan statue even exists, as no one has ever come forward claiming that they own one, and there have been no documented pictures of the Ryan statue. IF YOU DO OWN ONE, PLEASE CONTACT ME. All of the other players each have a card and a statue, with the exception of George Brett, as the card is not known to exist. This card is on many Ryan collectors' wantlists, and will make an impressive addition to your Ryan collection. Buyer pays $4 for postage in the US and Canada. International bidders please email me for quote. I accept PayPal, money orders, and cash.
