2011 Upper Deck #CO-3

Type: Insert Card

Acquired: Bought Online

This card came in a lot of Bo cards that I bought off ebay. I really do like the looks of the front of the card. It is unique in it's style and font, but the back takes this one down a notch. The back photo of Bo had been used multiple times by Upper Deck, there are no stats and the graphics just don't pop. I am usually a sucker for any card of Bo in his Auburn uniform, but this one is low on my like list.

2005 Upper Deck Legends #74

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Bought Online

A few weeks back I posted a similar card to the blog. That one had ornate shapes carved in each corner and was numbered 1 of 1. I still really have no solid leads on exactly where that card came from! Anyway, this card is the standard issue of that enigma. It is a nice looking card. The photo is nice, the borders are minimal, but still give it a solid look and the back has Bo's complete stats from his years as a baller with the Raiders.

1990 Topps #285

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Bought At Card Show

This was the very first Bo Jackson football card in my collection! I had quite a few Bo baseball cards in my collection by 1990, but no football cards. One fateful trip to a flea market in NJ changed all that. My Dad took us and we stopped at all the booths that were selling cards. My brother was collecting Ken Griffey Jr., but I was on the hunt for Bo. One of the tables we went to had a stack of his cards and my Dad gave me and my brother each $10. I bought a lot of cards that day including this first Bo Jackson football card and I can't get enough of the beautiful totally 90's graphics!

Living Legend #15

Type: Oddball

Acquired: Bought Online

Bo Jackson in flip top shades! Was there anything cooler than that in the early 90's? Besides the fantastic front photo, there really is not much else to say about this card. The back is bland and these "Living Legend" cards all use the same black & white image. I have a few more of these types of cards in my collection, so get ready for that!
