1986 Topps #387 (Custom)

Type: Custom Card
Acquired: Bought Online
This card serves as a proper rookie card for Bo Jackson. You see, back in 1986 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had the #1 pick in the NFL draft. They selected Bo Jackson with that #1 pick which was a no-brainer to any NFL fans at the time. Problem was that Bo told them not to pick him. He did not want to play for the Buccaneers after they took him on a trip to their team facilities. The team told Bo that the NCAA had approved the trip, but it turned out that they had never received approval and Bo was banned from finishing his final year of baseball for the Auburn Tigers. No wonder Bo refused to play for the Bucs! It was a wasted pick and the next year Bo was drafted by the Raiders and the rest is history!
