Does the card listed as 1991 Stadium Club Charter Member Nolan Ryan 24KT actually exist or is it a duplicate of the Nolan Ryan Medallion ??

Thanks

I can't answer that but I would suggest asking someone that has both cards listed in their collection. Here are the members with both cards listed in their collection:

The last 2 members have been on the site in the past 24 hours or so. So you might get a quick answer from them.

Jason, I did a little searching yesterday but didn't have time to post. Bottom line is I'm not sure, BUT ... according to this sales site's descriptions they are not. My understanding is that the medallion is bronze, while the 24KT would be the logo on the bronze ingot.

I did some searching too, but I have yet to find anything besides the medallion. It is the only item I see currently listed and sold on eBay over the last several years. Items are listed with a variety of terms such as "gold", "medallion", "24kt", "bronze", etc. Which leads me to believe they are the exact same and people identify as they please. However, I suggest spazmatastic's approach to see if anyone who claims to have these in collection can confirm and provide missing scans.

In the meantime, I will try to follow up on Sportzcommish's reply which includes the description of "A third version of the Ryan ingot is known to exist: this one has a 24K logo on it. It is believed that the 24K version may have been sold exclusively on the Home Shopping Network."

I pinged wvcabo to see if there is a difference (thanks for the advice spazmatastic). I just recently acquired the box set, and it had the medallion  in it, but just have never seen the 24KT card. Plus my OCD is kicking in and I need to complete the set if it is out there.... Thanks to all that have responded, greatly appreciate the insight from everyone. We have a great group here. 

Happy to help in any way! Make sure to let us know what info you get. I'm really curious about the card(s) too!

And wvcabo comes through with the answer! According to the pic that was provided, and the description, the gold is a lighter color and has a small sticker in the top left hand corner that says 24k GP. 

That's good to know.
