Year:
1968
Set:
Topps This 1968 Topps Nolan Ryan / Jerry Koosman rookie card features two All Stars but the presence of Ryan pushes this card to classic status. This card features the two starting pitchers as young New York Mets. Around the time that Ryan broke the career strikeout mark, many considered this one of the best Topps rookie baseball cards of all time. At that time it even rivaled the popularity of the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle. Time has relaxed the hype surrounding this card but it is still very expensive and owning it is just a dream for many collectors. Easily the best card of the 1968 Topps set, consider yourself a serious collector if you buy this card.
