Own an autograph from future All-Star pitcher Tom "Flash" Gordon with this 1989 Upper Deck #736 RC signed baseball card.
The 1989 Upper Deck baseball set revolutionized the hobby as the company's inaugural release. Featuring high-gloss photography, full-color card backs, anti-counterfeiting holograms, and premium white card stock, the 800-card set established a new standard for modern baseball cards. Best known for the iconic Ken Griffey Jr. Rookie Card (#1), the set also includes key rookie cards of Randy Johnson, John Smoltz, Gary Sheffield, Craig Biggio, and Tom Gordon. Gordon appears as Rookie Card #736, one of the premier mainstream rookie cards from his career.
Tom Gordon enjoyed an outstanding 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 reinvented himself from a frontline starting pitcher into one of baseball's premier closers. A three-time All-Star, 1998 American League Rolaids Relief Man Award winner, Gordon finished his career with 138 victories, 158 saves, and 1,928 strikeouts, becoming one of the few pitchers in Major League history to record at least 100 wins and 100 saves.
As one of Gordon's most desirable rookie cards, this 1989 Upper Deck #736 represents the beginning of a remarkable Major League career. Personally signed by Tom Gordon, it is an outstanding collectible for Royals fans, Upper Deck collectors, rookie card enthusiasts, and autograph collectors.
