Matt Ryan’s rookie card is in the 2008 Topps Chrome set alongside fellow NFL stars Joe Flacco, Jordy Nelson and Matt Forte. I purchased a raw 2008 Topps Chrome Refractor on eBay and sent it into a paid signing with a red paint pen. The card turned out amazingly.
Currently there is only 1 autographed 2008 Topps Chrome Refractor Matt Ryan rookie card in the PSA registry.
