Own an autograph from future All-Star pitcher Tom "Flash" Gordon with this 1992 Leaf Black Gold #68 signed baseball card.
The 1992 Leaf Black Gold set is a 528-card parallel to the standard 1992 Leaf release and is considered one of the hobby's earliest mainstream parallel card issues. Inserted at a rate of one Black Gold card per foil pack, the cards feature the same photography as the regular Leaf set but replace the silver borders with striking black card fronts accented by gold foil trim and gold-backed card reverses. The Black Gold parallel helped introduce collectors to the concept of premium parallels and remains one of the most recognizable innovations of the early 1990s.
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 and the 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 100 or more wins and 100 or more saves.
Issued during Gordon's fourth Major League season, this 1992 Leaf Black Gold #68 card showcases the talented Royals right-hander on one of the era's pioneering parallel cards. Personally signed by Tom Gordon, this premium collectible is an outstanding addition for Royals fans, Leaf collectors, parallel card enthusiasts, and autograph collectors.
