Pair of classic 1960s Topps rookie cards, each autographed by the featured Hall of Famer and encapsulated by SGC. 1) 1967 Topps #581 Tom Seaver: signed in blue marker (grading "4"). Encapsulated by SGC/JSA, with the card graded EX 60. 2) 1968 Topps #177 Nolan Ryan: signed crisply in blue marker (grading "9"). Encapsulated by SGC Authentic, with the card graded Authentic (we grade it Vg-Ex). It should be noted that the card exhibits characteristics consistent with Milton Bradley cards of the same year, which are notable for a white line along one of the side edges (present on the right border on this example) and a more yellow reverse than orange (though this example is slightly discolored, it appears to be much more yellow naturally). An affordable pair of important rookie cards signed by two of the game's greats. Total: 2 cards. Reserve $200. Estimate (open).
