Agree with Scott. I have always liked his '71 and it is hard to find a one in this condition...and has a nice action shot.

Count me in as a "71" fan also, black borders are tough but what a sharp looking card.

For me, the '74 is one of the best cards of all time. Truly phenomenal!! It sums up the intensity of the player in a single, split-second photograph. The 1971 is pretty awesome, too. Especially if it's housed in a slab to protect the black from chipping away if the wind blows too strongly. Both of those cards give you exactly what you want, an action shot of 'The Ryan Express.'

The rookie card, IMO, end of story.

The 71, no question Trent King

I have to go along with JollyElm on this; both are fantastic cards. The 1968 is iconic, but it will set you back a few bucks.

71 & 74, also this one.

71 and 69 are best IMO

The 71 is a great photo and design, but Nolan was not very good as a Met. I’d go for the 74. Also a great photo, and from his prime era, and cheap to boot. The 68 is good for making money, but it’s an ugly card.
