There's a 1972 Ryan card? I've never seen that one anywhere. What's is its overall rating?
I'm trying to collect every Angel-connected card. I've got all the Bronze and under that I know of and all but 5 Silvers I know of (ones that rarely come up and always seem overpriced when they do).
I'm probably around 50% on the Gold and up ones, working at saving up for the most expensive ones first to add to my team.
I finally saved up enough to get the perfect Barry Bonds since his Dad was a halo back when I was a kid. But he has a lot of other cards that are also mega-points, and Trout has several expensive cards too, so it's probably an unrealistic dream to try to collect them all. Fun to try though.
And of course, you can only have one card per player on your team, so those cards get collected by me last.
BTW, as an old dude, I know Angels history pretty well and recognize most of the ex-Angel players easily, even when it's a card from when they played on a different team. But in researching my team I discovered a fun fact that I didn't know. Gavvy Cravath, who has a pretty decent 93 OVR card as a Record Breaker from 1915 once played for the minor league Los Angeles Angels in the PCL. He's even buried in Anaheim. Ha! He's my DH against LHP.
