Bob Gibson Topps Legends of the Game LG-21 Baseball Card in One-Touch Magnetic Case

The item is a Topps 'Legends of the Game' Bob Gibson baseball trading card, specifically card number LG-21, enclosed within a clear, hard plastic card protector or 'one-touch' magnetic case. The card protector itself appears to be made of transparent acrylic or polycarbonate, exhibiting a smooth, polished surface with a visible magnetic closure system at the top center, designed for secure display and protection of the card. The card's reverse side is visible, featuring a predominantly teal-blue border surrounding an off-white or light tan central panel containing biographical and career statistical text for Bob Gibson, identified as a 'ST. LOUIS CARDINALS • PITCHER'. The text details Gibson's impressive career, including his shutout records, 1968 ERA of 1.12, and his NL Cy Young Award and MVP trophy, as well as his 1970 pitching honor. The card features a clear 'Topps' logo at the bottom center of the informational panel. Below the logo, fine print indicates copyright information for 2000 The Topps Company, Inc. and is likely from the year 2000 or soon after. The physical card itself, encased in the protector, appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible creases, tears, or significant surface abrasions. The protector shows no major cracks or scratches that would detract from the card's presentation. The corners of the card appear sharp within the case, suggesting good preservation. The overall craftsmanship of both the card and its protective case seems to be of good quality, typical for modern collectible sports cards and their accessories. The item's age is estimated to be from the early 2000s, based on the copyright information.
