Offered is one of the more interesting 1968 Topps #177 Nolan Ryan rookies in existence. Approximately 75% of the card displays #177 Ryan/Koosman while the other 25% depicts a portion of #181 Jerry Zimmerman. The obverse presents (VG) with mild surface creasing and soft corners. The reverse is also off-center but clean. It is a wonder how this factory miscut slipped through Topps quality control and was not discarded as scrap. Regardless, this Ryan rookie is an oddball delight and fun conversation piece.
