Nolan ryan rookie card!

[Beachkid23]

This is a card I have always wanted and dreamed of finding at a yard sale. We went to a yard sale this morning and older gentleman and wife were pulling out boxes of stuff. I start looking through some baseball cards want to 70s 80s not really anything catching my eyes and the condition of them is pretty bad. They were left out in the garage in Florida so you get the humidity and whatever. He goes inside and says he has some more that were Better but he doesn't know if he wants to sell them. Well one of the cards was a Nolan Ryan rookie card the 1968 with Kaufman on it!! I asked how much, he didnt want to sell it. I offered him hundred dollars for the card but he wouldn't take it. Bummer!!

I always wanted the Nolan Ryan card where he was bulldogging the guy and punching him in the face...

I've got one that my dad gave me!

After he Wouldn't sell it I asked him if he knew what it was worth.. He said $120? And I told him similar ones in that condition were selling around $300 and higher. He was very happy!

I remember when that was a $900 card.

I know that's crazy. I did buy a couple weeks ago really nice looking ricky Henderson rookie card for $3 bucks. I would rather have Nolan Ryan!

I had that card. He shared it with Jerry Koosman. Mine walked off at a gun show when I wasn't looking. There is a repo card out there also. I have all the rest of his cards since I'm in Texas. The guy that foolishly rushed him on the mound was Robin Ventura, about half his age. Ryan got him in a head lock and landed a bunch of blows. Ventura was ejected from the game but not Nolan! Later, Ryan was presented with two longhorn steers, named "Robin" and "Ventura".

I have his signed baseball. What is that worth?

 

[Beachkid23]

Well I got one today. It's graded so that's even better. The other one I got with it's worth way more than Nolan Ryan.

Where did you pick those?!? I have to ask, and you don't have to disclose, but what did you pay for the Kershaw?! I wish I had time to pick like you... I may start making the time..

My brother-in-law's wife's father used to collect and he has boxes full of cards. He also used to send them off to get graded when he got good ones and believe me he has some good ones. He has a whole lot more that I'm going to go look at later on this week. Most of them that are graded are all autograph rookies also. Tim lincecum, Justin verlander, prince fielder, cal Ripken, a lot of the older ones, and a lot of the newer ones up to 2007. But I paid $350 for the Kershaw. 200 for Mr. Ryan. But I'm keeping Nolan Ryan I don't care. I wanted that card forever even though I don't collect anymore but that's going to go into the keeping box.
