The value of baseball cards can vary tremendously depending on the year it was distributed, the condition and whether it has been signed by the player. It could be anywhere between 25c and $2000.
Condition seems to be the number one issue with sports cards collectors. If your card is in mint condition, sealed or in its packaging, then it will be far more valuable than one which has frayed edges or is ripped.
The 90s was a period where many cards were mass-produced and so the value is low as a result, while some older cards are rarer and have a higher value. 1968 was Nolan Ryan's rookie year so if you have a card from this season then it is likely to be worth quite a bit.
Nolan Ryan was a pitcher from Refugio, Texas; right handed, he made his debut in September 1966 for the New York Mets and retired in September 1993 with his fourth team, the Texas Rangers (a record 27 year career). His best spell personally was at the California Angels where he was selected in the All-Star team on five occasions in his time between 1972 and 1979 as well as the AL TSN Pitcher of the Year in 1977; although he was a World Series champion with the Mets in 1969 it was mainly as a relief pitcher. He went on to gain three more All-Star selections, twice for the Houston Astros and once for the Rangers.
The Angels, Astros and Rangers have all retired shirts in his honor and he is in the Rangers Hall of Fame as well as the Major League Baseball All Century Team with a total of 5714 career strikeouts and a record seven career no-hitters.
Since he retired from playing he has had various projects and most recently he has been the team president for the Texas Rangers, in charge when they reached the World Series in 2010.
