The legendary Nolan Ryan with a beautiful background of evergreens, like near the foot of a mountain, but most likely at some ballpark with neighboring trees. Ryan seems quite serious in this pose, perhaps reflecting on his illustrious 20 year career at the time. Whatever his thoughts it looks like a beautiful day when the photo was taken. Beyond that, this 1986 Topps card #100 Nolan Ryan of the Houston Astros is definitely in Near Mint or Better Condition. Even the centering is quite good, a bit of rarity with that set. Scanning of the card was done with top-loader at optimum resolution to give you the best visual result while avoiding card manipulation.
