Type: Insert Card
Acquired: Bought Online
Growing up, I never knew this card existed. From some online research the Grand Slammers set was released as an extra for those who bought the complete set in 1990. The cards commemorate 12 players who hit Grand Slam home runs during the previous season. These players include such greats as Matt Williams, Mark McGwire, Will Clark, Fred McGriff and Mr. Bo Jackson himself. I actually like the look of this card. A lot of people really don't care for the 1990 Donruss set design, but I find it unique and the addition of the "Grand Slammers" stripe in the lower left corner really adds to the card and does not obstruct the nice photo of Bo. the back gives a brief history of Bo's Grand Salami on September 27, 1989 off of Angels reliever Willie Fraser. This card is a nice addition to this stand out set.
