1991 Score Nolan Ryan 'Nolan Receives The Victor Award' Baseball Card (#697)

This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch vintage baseball card manufactured by Score in 1991. The card features Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan in his Texas Rangers home jersey and blue cap, holding a trophy with the caption 'Nolan Receives The Victor Award.' The graphic design includes a vertical orange banner on the left side containing the player's name and a flaming baseball icon at the bottom left. The card is printed on semi-glossy cardstock with white borders. Regarding condition, the card appears to have slightly softened corners, particularly visible on the bottom right. The centering seems slightly shifted towards the top and left, which is common for this mass-produced era of the 'junk wax' period. There are no obvious creases, heavy surface scratches, or staining visible in the image. This specific card is part of a 900-card set and commemorates Ryan's many accolades during his historic career. The colors are vibrant with no significant fading, and the printing registration appears sharp. This item represents a classic piece of early 1990s sports memorabilia from one of the most collected athletes in the hobby.
