Recent Sales
Base cards from the 2007 Heritage set typically sell in bulk lots or for minimal amounts (under $3) on eBay. Graded copies for common veterans rarely appear at auction unless part of a set registry.
Condition Details
The card appears to have slightly off-center borders (heavier on the left and bottom). Edges and corners look sharp in the photo, though a small speck is visible on the top white border which could be a surface print defect or dust.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (approx. $19-$25) significantly exceeds the market value of the card. It is a common base veteran card from a modern high-production set.
Card Description
Flash Gordon is pictured in his Philadelphia Phillies pinstripe uniform in a pitching motion. The card uses the 1958 Topps throwback design featuring a 'YANKEES' team header at the top (reflecting his team at the time), a centered player name ribbon at the bottom, and a 'Pitcher' designation. Flash Gordon was a 3-time All-Star known for his time with the Red Sox and Yankees.
Notable Features
Features the 1958 Topps retro design style used for the 2007 Heritage set. Uses the 'Flash' nickname on the nameplate rather than 'Tom'.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with correct Topps Heritage card stock (low-gloss, vintage feel) and accurate font/color reproduction for the 2007 set.
