Comments: When Joe Gordon was elected to the Hall of Fame in …..it was a complete surprise to this collector. Usually I have some card picked out for hall of fame "prospects". Not this time. So, I started searching eBay. I picked up this card in February, 2009 and have not seen a better example offered since.
