1988 Topps #325

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Bought Online

I present to you another fantastic Bo Jackson card from the beautiful 1988 Topps football set. This card highlights Bo Jackson in action on the gridiron and on the back shows the Raiders statistical leaders from the 1987 season. I think it shows the star status of Bo that Topps featured him on the front of the card when he wasn't a leader in any category for his football team that year! Also, look at those game scores, the Raiders were pretty terrible in '87.

1988 Topps #327

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Bought at Show

This is the card that started it all! The iconic 1988 Topps football rookie card. Those stats from year 1 were pretty impressive based on the lack of time on the field. It just showed a glimpse of what was to come and what could have been had Bo chosen to play in the NFL fulltime. At this point we can only speculate what his career would have looked like had he followed that path. I really like the blue used on this Topps offering, it really helps the photos pop. In my opinion, this is one of the best looking football sets of the 80s. Fantastic card and a must have for any collector!

1991 Fleer All-Pro #10

Type: Insert Card

Acquired: Trade With Friend

This is one of my favorite 90's Bo Jackson football cards. I like the silvery colored border, the amazing font and word boxes, the dual photo front...I LOVE IT ALL! This also marks around the time where I was at my peak in card collecting and brands were just starting to dip their toes into the world of insert cards. It was such a thrill to pull one of these from a pack of FLEER! 

1991 Collegiate Collection #AU1

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Bought Online

I've said it before and I'll probably say it another million times, but I am an absolute sucker for and Bo Jackson card that features him in his Auburn uniform! He really was a beast on the college gridiron! I remember seeing packs of these "Collegiate Collection" cards at the local card shops. I bought a few Auburn packs in hopes of getting a Bo card, that did not happen. I also bought some North Carolina packs in hopes of getting a Michael Jordan card, that didn't happen either. Finally, thanks to the amazing invention called the internet, I now have one of these Bo cards in my collection!
