“ Amazed this guy isn’t in the HOF yet! Hopefully he’ll finally get in since he’s the coach finalist this year. ” -StarrsCards

“ Coach card for comments while coach card on the main page. The card is fine, simple and fine, but the most fascinating thing I see is the box of Kodak Film on the front. Would anyone under the age of 20 know what that is? ” -rmpaq5

“ Ah a "police" card, well Fire Safety technically but the same sort of thing a local area "team" release. At first glance I thought it was a soccer card since it is a Football coach. Wrong "Football". HEHE! ” -captkirk42

“ Awesome! ” -bkklaos

“ Interesting it's a Fire card. My first thought was that it was a Police card when I saw it. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ The cartoon on the back is the highlight of this card. This is a nice public safety card. It is nice to see cars of head coaches. ” -Brendan Barrick

“ It would be better if it were a seahawks card with Flores!!!! ” -parsley24

“ The police/fire department cards always have at least one uncomfortable pose per set. You know the photographer told Tom to look off in the distance like he was in deep thought. ” -Corky

Initially this feels a bit bland, but actually when you consider it's from 1985 and not a major release it's not too bad.  Coach/Manager cards are often nice to have.

As a collector that started at the age of 9 in 1989 I didn't have a lot of exposure to him and always found Flores to be a mystery. He always seemed to be in deep deep thought in every shot I've seen of him much like the card above. Glad to see him cracking the forever team!
