Placido Polanco Autographed 2009 Topps Heritage #452 SP Detroit Tigers Card

Own an autograph from one of baseball's most dependable and fundamentally sound infielders with this 2009 Topps Heritage #452 SP Placido Polanco signed baseball card.

The 2009 Topps Heritage baseball set is a 500-card release modeled after the iconic 1960 Topps design. Featuring the colorful horizontal banner, vintage-inspired card stock, and classic photography style of the original set, Heritage once again delivered one of the hobby's most popular annual products. The final 75 cards (#426500) were issued as short prints, making them significantly more difficult to obtain than the standard base cards. Additionally, Heritage short prints are printed on a slightly darker shade of cardboard, adding another distinguishing characteristic for collectors. Placido Polanco appears as Short Print #452 as a member of the Detroit Tigers.

Placido Polanco enjoyed a distinguished 16-year Major League career with the St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, Detroit Tigers, and Miami Marlins. Renowned for his exceptional defense, elite contact hitting, and remarkable consistency, Polanco earned two All-Star selections, three Gold Glove Awards, a Silver Slugger Award, and was named the 2006 American League Championship Series Most Valuable Player. Throughout his career, he became one of baseball's toughest hitters to strike out while providing Gold Glove-caliber defense at both second and third base.

As one of the set's coveted high-number short prints, this 2009 Topps Heritage #452 SP is considerably tougher to find than Polanco's standard 2009 cards. Issued during the final season of his first stint with the Tigers, it captures one of Detroit's veteran leaders in the timeless 1960 Topps design. Personally signed by Polanco, this scarce Heritage issue is an outstanding collectible for Tigers fans, Heritage enthusiasts, Topps short print collectors, and autograph collectors alike.
