Lot 1007: 1968 Topps Cello Pack With Nolan Ryan Rookie On Top GAI 7.5

Nolan Ryan's rookie card on the top of this unopened 1968 Topps cello pack is the cherry on top -- and there wouldn't have to be any ice cream underneath! His head looks like it's going to be swallowed by the Mets hat, but we wouldn't say that if we had to face him at the plate. This pack's bottom card, a recap of Game 3 of the 1967 World Series (#153), was part of the Series highlights issue in the 598-card edition. And apologies for earlier ignoring Jerry Koosman, who shares the Mets rookie card with Ryan. He was no slouch, just not a Hall of Famer. One of the best cello packs we have ever seen. Graded GAI 7.5 NRMT+.
