1994 Fleer #U18

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Bought Online
Here we have another 1994 Fleer product, but this one is from the Update series and depicts Bo in the last uniform he would wear in the MLB, as a California Angel. Just like the previous post, the layout of this card is very nice and I really like the photo on the back depicting Bo taking off after hitting the ball. Look at that determination in his face. It is still odd to see Bo in this uniform, but nonetheless it is a nice card featuring my favorite player in the twilight of his outstanding career.

1994 Fleer #84

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Bought Online
I really like the layout of this card. It may be too simple for some collector's liking, but I think the white border along with the smaller logos and limited gold foil stamping add to it's charm. Stats on the back are great and the photo may not be an action shot, but at least it's a different look for a Bo photo.

1994 Fleer Flair #23

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Bought Online
I love the Flair brand by Fleer. The glossiness, the thick card stock and the abundance of gold foil made this one of my favorite brands of the 90s. Not to mention, the photography was fantastic and the graphics don't interfere with the overall look at all. I mean look at the double shot of Bo on the front, who would have thought these two action shots would work so well together. The card back is also excellent with it's abundance of stats and full card photo. Great design from an amazing set.

1991 Score #5

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Pulled From Pack
I have fond memories of this 1991 Score Baseball Card set. I asked for it for my birthday that year, mostly due to the fact that it included multiple Bo Jackson subset cards like the awesome "Bo Breaker" card and "Rifleman" card. What a cool looking set. Even the base cards had a nice design. I like the shot of Bo watching the ball after a hit on the front and the typical head shot on the back is nice due to the inclusion of the ballpark behind him. Solid card from one of my favorite sets.
