Featuring Joey Cora with the Chicago White Sox, this Joey Cora autographed 1994 Topps Gold #478 Chicago White Sox card is the Gold parallel of his regular 1994 Topps issue. The Topps Gold version features gold-foil player identification, giving collectors a distinct parallel to the standard #478 card.
Cora joined the White Sox in 1991 after beginning his Major League career with the San Diego Padres. A switch-hitting second baseman with speed and strong contact skills, he became a regular in Chicago's lineup and helped the White Sox develop into one of the American League's top clubs.
In 1993, Cora appeared in 153 games and batted .268 with 152 hits, 12 triples and 20 stolen bases. His 12 triples ranked among the American League leaders, and he helped Chicago capture the AL West championship before starting at second base throughout the club's AL Championship Series against Toronto.
Cora later joined the Seattle Mariners, where he enjoyed some of the finest seasons of his career. In 1997, he batted .300 with 166 hits, 40 doubles and 11 home runs, earning his only American League All-Star selection and helping Seattle win the AL West.
Cora played 11 Major League seasons with the Padres, White Sox, Mariners and Indians and collected more than 1,000 career hits. Combining a recognizable Topps parallel with his years as Chicago's second baseman, the 1994 Topps Gold #478 is an appealing addition for White Sox collectors, Joey Cora fans, Topps Gold parallel collectors, 1993 AL West championship collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
