Record-setters Nolan Ryan and Cal Ripken combine in this stash, highlighted by multiples O-Pee-Chee cards of Nolan during his heyday with the California Angels. There are six crease-free 1977 OPCs, all of them EX or a tad lower/higher and averaging EX, with centering that varies, while another similar is miscut and an eighth is sent to VG+ by a small light crease. A VG+ ’78 OPC #105 is bettered by a rather sharp NM card, with Strikeout Leaders cards present from both ’77 (5)(4 are EX-MT or NM) and ’78 (7)(6 appear NM-or-better). From ’80 are three OPC #303 (EX-MT-or-better) and one Topps #580 (EX), with an ’81 OPC segueing into the rest; a mix of (42) mostly ‘80s and ‘90s Topps, Donruss and Upper Deck material, along with Leaf issues from ’86 (2) and ’88 (7) that bring the Ryan total to and even 70. Meanwhile, Iron Man Ripken is represented by cards dating back to his ’84 OPC appearance (EX-MT x 2), with multiples of ’86 Leaf (2), ’87 Leaf (1 regular, 1 Diamond King) and ’88 Leaf (3 reg., 3 DKs) also possibly not caught up to by some south of the border. Then it’s mostly Topps and Donruss cards from ’85 to ’91, with a little Fleer, Score and Upper Deck action also involved.
