Help authenticating my NOLAN RYAN hand cast

Eric,

The one you saw on Pawn Stars was one done by Bronze Memories. The one I have was done by Robin and Paul Noll. If you do a google search for them, you can find them. I actually own both bronze hands and the Bronze Memories are actually aweful looking in my opinion. I think it was due to the different molding technique they used.

I also have both Ryan hands, and in my opinion, both the Noll hand and the Bronze Memories hand look great. Not sure how anybody could say the Bronze Memories looks awful, that seems pretty extreme.

The Noll facial casting is a "must have" for Nolan Ryan fans!

Tom,

Yeah, the Ryan facial cast is awesome! I also own one of those and the actual Astros cap used in the molding. Maybe aweful is extreme. I guess I'm just not as fond of the Bronze Memories cast because it just seems as if they had some molding issues. No cast is going to be absolutely perfect but when you look at theirs, it's obvious that they had several issues that just make it look non lifelike to me. I'm a true Ryan fan though and I'll always keep mine in my collection

WOO HOOOO! Mears has agreed to photomatch and authenticate both my cast and cap that were used! They are only charging me $150 to do it. After I have it done, I'm going to have Nolan inscribe them for me in august!
