1990 Topps #1 Nolan Ryan PSA 10 – A Perfect 10 of Baseball’s Ultimate Power Pitcher

By 1990, Nolan Ryan was in the midst of his fourth decade in Major League Baseball, yet he remained one of the most dominant and electrifying pitchers the game had ever seen. Now with the Texas Rangers, Ryan continued to set records that would never be broken. That year, at age 43, he threw his sixth career no-hitter, proving that even in the twilight of his career, his fastball was still overpowering. Just one year later, he would throw his record-setting seventh no-hitter, further cementing his place as the greatest power pitcher of all time. With 5,714 career strikeouts, seven no-hitters, and a career that spanned an unprecedented 27 seasons, Ryan’s achievements remain untouched in baseball history.
