1987 Donruss #35

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Traded For
Rated Rookie cards were the best. That stamp on the front boosted the value of the card in my eyes by 100 percent. When I still see that graphic today it takes me back to great collecting memories as a kid. This card is nothing really special for the likes of Bo. The pose is boring and the design is bland, but it's a Bo Rookie card so it deserves a nice spot in my collection!

1990 Bowman #378

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Bought at Show
I really like this card! Most cards during this point of Bo's career feature him at the plate either getting ready to slam a homer or already doing so. This one feels like more of a behind the scenes at the ball park feel to it. Also, it doesn't hurt that his hat is haphazardly hanging sideways on the top of his mighty melon!

1990 Classic #T25

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Bought at Show
This card is totally rad! From the sweet neon pink border with neon blue slashes to the extreme font style on the front this card is definitely of it's time. I believe that's what really makes this a great card. It doesn't hold back in it's reflection of what was popular in the 90s. I also love this card because it shows Bo holding his All-Star game MVP trophy. During the 1989 mid-season classic, Bo went 2 for 4 with 1 home run and 2 RBI.

1991 Fleer Pro Vision #5

Type: Insert Card
Acquired: Pulled From Pack
This has to be my most favorite Bo Jackson card of all time! This card was released in the early 90s well Bo was at the height of his legendary prowess on the diamond and the gridiron. The things he did were superhuman and it was no stretch to believe he was built like the Terminator. This card provided all the evidence we needed to prove that point. The art is classic and the design is simple but impressive. I loved this card so much that I had my Dad make me a t-shirt for my birthday with this image printed on it!
