As you said, it would have benefited from a closer cropping. I see no beauty in this card. If I wanted to see Nolan Ryan, I would look for a Nolan Ryan card.

And from what I can gather, the Harrelson is probably the first card ever to feature a guy signing for fans. (Hank Aaron also has an autograph shot in '70 Topps, but he's signing from a box of balls in what looks to be the clubhouse or an otherwise nondescript room.)Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-24874348595373047362017-10-14T11:11:26.530-04:002017-10-14T11:11:26.530-04:00Also on the 1970 Dell photo stamps, 72 Milton Brad...Also on the 1970 Dell photo stamps, 72 Milton Bradley. .

Fantastic airbrushing.<br /><br />That 1975 MVP subset was my introduction to just about every Topps design from before I started collecting in 1974. I pored over that subset for hours, so when I found out the Maury Wills wasn't a real card, I said something like "What?
