1990 Score #330


Type: Base Card
Acquired: Pulled From Pack
I remember my friend's grandma was having a yard sale and she had boxes of 1990 Score football cards for $10 each. I had to have one of them! So, I did a crazy amount of household chores in a short amount of time to get the money to buy a box. This was one of the cards I pulled from that box and it is one of my favorite Bo cards. How can you not love a card that features one of the NFL's premiere power backs thundering down the field with a bolt of lightening striking in the distance? You can almost hear the electricity in this card. Someone really needs to bring back the "Ground Force" subset...like now!

1991 Fleer #416


Type: Base Card
Acquired: Pulled From Pack
This card highlights Bo's league leading 5.6 yards per carry in the 1990 NFL season. He also ran for 698 yards on 125 carries! I love the "Superman" type intro this card gives Bo. This alone is worth the price of the card. Photo on the front is pretty good too, just would have liked to have seen the whole photo and not just a cropped picture of Mr. Jackson.

1989 Score #284

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Bought Online
This late 80's football card features 2 Heisman trophy winners in Marcus Allen & Bo Jackson! What a lethal 1-2 punch! Could you imagine being on defense and having to face these two brutal backs in the same game. Allen was more of a finesse runner while Bo was pure power. I love this card, just wish they would have gotten a photo of the 2 together kind of like FLEER did with their "Superstar Specials" subsets. Overall a great combo!

2002 Fleer Throwbacks #9

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Bought Online
I don't know too much about this early 2000's offering from Fleer, but any set that includes Bo Jackson is okay with me! Honestly, the clean looking white borders and graphics give this card a nice, sharp look. The shot on the front is nice, not great, but nice and the back gives Bo's full career stats as a running back for the Raiders. Still is amazing to know that Bo had a lifetime record of 5.4 yards per carry! In comparison Emmitt Smith's best year was a 5.3 and Barry Sanders career number was 5.0.
