More About the 1974 Kellogg's Nolan Ryan

The 1974 Nolan Ryan card in the Kellogg's set is the fourth most graded card in the set.  That is a surprise since in the 1973 set Nolan Ryans have been graded a bit more than Pete Rose, but Ryan and Rose easily outdistance everyone else.

Why would the 1974 version not be graded more frequently?  That is another reason I think something is up with the cracking on the first nine cards.  There are only 25 grades of 10 for this Ryan card of the 409 that have been graded.  That's only 6.1% of the cards graded.

Most of the other cards in the set have grades of 10 at a rate of 25% to over 60%.  More on the other cards from 1974 at another time.
