1990s Minor League Legends #NN

Type: Oddball Card
Acquired: Bought Online
This oddball card attempts to recreate the look of the classic 1986 Donruss set. It mostly succeeds and has a cool photo of Bo in his Memphis Chicks minor league uniform. There is no date on the card, but I place it in the 1991-92 date range due to the photo of Bo in his White Sox uniform on the back. There is a lack of minor league stats, but this card does give a little info on Bo's early years in baseball and the monster home runs he used to hit. Overall, I like this card. It's full of nostalgia and it's not often we get cards of Bo before his MLB debut with the Kansas City Royals. Even though it is an unlicensed card, it is a nice card to add to the collection.

  1. I don't know if it's fact or not, but I believe just from personal experience, nobody got the Broder treatment more than Bo did.

    1. It is quite possible. I would assume Jordan and Griffey were up there too!
