2008 Topps Chrome Frank Gore Orange Refractor #TC23

This is a professional sports trading card featuring Frank Gore of the San Francisco 49ers. The card is a 2008 Topps Chrome 'Orange Refractor' parallel. It possesses the standard trading card dimensions of 2.5 by 3.5 inches. The design features a high-gloss, metallic finish characteristic of the Chrome line, with a vibrant orange border that designates it as a specific limited parallel. The central image shows Gore in his white away jersey and gold pants, clutching a football in action. The top right corner features the 'Topps Chrome' brand logo, while the bottom contains the player name, position, and the San Francisco 49ers team logo set within a circular NFC West Division graphic. The card is constructed of heavy cardstock with a chrome-treated surface. In terms of condition, based on the image, the card appears to have relatively sharp corners and clean edges, though it is currently protected within a clear plastic semi-rigid top-loader and a soft inner sleeve. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left side. No visible surface scratches or 'refractor lines' are immediately apparent through the holder. This card hails from the Modern era of collecting (post-1980s) and represents a key star running back during his prime years with the 49ers.
