Condition Grade
PSA 8 (NM-MT). The centering on this foil-heavy card appears slightly top-heavy. The corners show minor white touches typical for 2000s foil inserts, and the surface likely has micro-scratching from being stored in a multi-card binder page without a penny sleeve.

Description
This 2008 Topps insert features Kansas City Royals legend Alex Gordon in his 'Glove Work' subset. The card features a distinct foil finish with a yellow-to-orange gradient background and blue swoosh accents on the top-left and bottom-right corners. Gordon is pictured in his grey away uniform tracking a fly ball.
Key Features
Features 8-time Gold Glove winner Alex Gordon early in his career; iconic Topps insert design from the late 2000s; high-gloss foil finish.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This is a standard insert card that is not commonly counterfeited. The Topps logo and 'Glove Work' text have the correct foil stamping depth and metallic luster.
Flaws to Note
Visible surface scratching is common with this foil set; the card is currently stored in a PVC binder page which can cause surface 'fogging' or sticking over time; slight edge wear on the right side.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay as a 'Buy It Now' or COMC (Check Out My Cards). Due to the low individual value, it is best sold as part of a lot or through a platform that handles high volumes of low-cost singles.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are a registry collector, as the grading fee will exceed the card's value. Remove it from the binder page carefully and place it into a penny sleeve and top loader to prevent further surface damage. Use 'KC Royals' and 'Gold Glove' in the listing title.
