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:

UPDATE: In Sept 2026, I started negotiating with an eBay seller for a PSA 6 example. Unfortunately, the asking price was just too high. Just a week later another eBay auction for a PSA 6.5 came up in my searches. As lucked turned out my high bid did the trick and I had myself an upgrade - 17 years of waiting!!!
