Alan "Dirty Al" Gallagher was a hard-nosed, talented third baseman who won the hearts of Bay Area fans with his fiery style of play and stellar infield defense. This unique Canadian vintage card was produced by O-Pee-Chee and showcases the tough 1971 black-bordered design that collectors revere and pursue heavily.

Condition Report:
The challenging black borders display light, expected edge chipping and minor silvering along the sides. The four corners exhibit mild touching and tiny signs of softening at the tips but remain clear of major dings. The card's centering favors the top border but presents nicely overall. The reverse side features excellent color preservation, bright yellow card stock, and clear text lines without any heavy ink fading or staining.
