"GIMME A DO-OVER"- PART III: 1971 NOLAN RYAN

I have always hated the photo Topps went with for their 1971 Nolan Ryan card. Besides the fact that he's so small in that image, you have that obnoxious "Royal Crown" ad that dominates the card running left to right.
Seems like in the early part of the decade Topps used a ton of pictures that look like they were shot from a far away perch.
Anyway, since I'm really enjoying coming up with my own take on cards I've always been disappointed with, I figured I'd recreate a Ryan card that had a nicer look to it.
First is the card as it was released, followed by my own version.
