1993 Bowman #415

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Card Show
The photography of Bowman cards has always been excellent and this card is a good example of that commitment to getting the best photo. I have seen a million cards of guys at the plate or smiling at the camera with their bats over their shoulders, but this is a unique shot of Bo getting ready in the batters box. and the back of the card has the standard Bo at the bat shot. The card design is simple but it works.

1991 Score #773 BO BREAKER

Type: Subset Card
Acquired: Given As A Gift
This is one of my favorite Bo Jackson cards of all-time! It shows off what Bo was all about in one sweet picture! He was powerful, a beast and very temperamental. With one swing of the bat he could knock a ball out of the park, with another he could miss completely and his bat would have to face the consequences. Score had some really great card designs in the 90s and this is a prime example of that creativity.

1994 Upper Deck Fun Packs #151

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Purchased Online
I really enjoy the look of these cards. I remember them being advertised in Marvel comics back in the mid 90s, but none of my usual card places carried them. This Fun Pack card was also one of the first times I had seen Bo in his California Angels uniform. I bought this online for about a quarter and am glad I did. The comic on the back alone is worth that!
