Tom Gordon Autographed 1988 ProCards #149 #40 Appleton Foxes Card

Own an autograph from future All-Star pitcher Tom "Flash" Gordon with this 1988 ProCards #149 signed baseball card.

The 1988 ProCards Minor League set is one of the hobby's most recognizable minor league releases of the 1980s. Produced for clubs throughout Minor League Baseball, the set features team-issued cards highlighting many of the game's top prospects before they reached the Major Leagues. Today, the release is especially popular with collectors because it includes early cards of future stars, Hall of Famers, and award winners. Tom Gordon appears as card #149 with the Appleton Foxes, the Class A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, during his breakout 1988 season.

Tom Gordon enjoyed a remarkable 21-year Major League career with the Kansas City Royals, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Houston Astros, Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, and Arizona Diamondbacks. Nicknamed "Flash," Gordon successfully transitioned from an outstanding starting pitcher into one of baseball's premier relief pitchers. A three-time All-Star, 1998 American League Rolaids Relief Man Award winner, and owner of 138 victories, 158 saves, and 1,928 strikeouts, Gordon was respected throughout the game for his power fastball, sharp curveball, and remarkable longevity.

Issued before his Major League debut later in 1988, this 1988 ProCards card captures Gordon during his rapid ascent through the Royals' farm system with the Appleton Foxes. As one of his earliest widely distributed baseball cards, it is an outstanding collectible for Royals fans, minor league enthusiasts, prospect collectors, and anyone assembling a Tom Gordon career run.
