Nolan Ryan 148 Appraisal

1991 Pacific Nolan Ryan Baseball Card #148

This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5-inch baseball trading card from the 1991 Pacific Nolan Ryan set, specifically card number 148. The card features a portrait of legendary pitcher Nolan Ryan in his Houston Astros uniform, framed by a distinctive yellow and red flame-like circular graphic. The top left corner displays the player's name in bold blue and red lettering. The card's design includes the Pacific Trading Cards logo at the bottom left, the official Major League Baseball logo at the bottom right, and a notation stating 'Authorized by Nolan Ryan.' The copyright line at the bottom confirms it was manufactured in 1991. The construction consists of glossy cardstock with a white border. In terms of condition, based on the photograph, the card appears generally well-preserved with sharp corners, though the centering seems slightly shifted toward the top. There is no overt evidence of creasing or surface scratching visible at this resolution. This specific set was unique as it was an entire product line dedicated exclusively to the career of Nolan Ryan, released during the height of the early 1990s sports card boom. The print quality is typical for Pacific's early 90s output, utilizing bright, saturated primary colors and clear photographic reproduction.
