2005 Leaf Certified Materials #FG-10

Type: Jersey Card
Acquired: Bought Online
This is a really nice looking card, really eye catching. I like how Leaf made Bo's photo black & white while the background has a mix of colors. It really makes his figure pop on the card. Also, the jersey relic viewing area is cut into the shape of home plate. I love it! The back lacks everything, except the standard authenticity verbiage. Since there were only 100 of these cards produced, I am glad it is in my collection. I got #46!

2005 Donruss Classic Combos #CC-3

Type: Dual Jersey Card
Acquired: Bought Online
I love this card!!! Not only does it have a piece of Raiders jersey from Bo Jackson, but it also includes a beautiful piece of jersey from Hall of Fame running back Earl Campbell! The design is gorgeous, the back as usual with these types of cards has no stats, but for possibly the first time ever, this does not bother me! The great choice of photos on the front, the American flag and two of the toughest backs ever in the NFL made this a must have for my Bo card collection. BTW if you have never had one of Earl Campbells hot links fresh off the grill, you haven't lived! They are delicious!

2004 Donruss Throwback Threads # 210

Type: Jersey Card
Acquired: Bought Online
Here we have another Bo "Relic" card, but this one is super cool to me. Why? Because it contains a piece of fabric from Bo Jackson's White Sox jersey complete with a pinstripe! This may not seem cool to other collectors, but I love it! It's so much better than just a solid colored swatch. Don't you think? Also, look at that photo on the front with Bo sporting those shades like the baddest man on the planet. Great pose, great shot and limited to a total of 100 cards. SOLD!

2004 Donruss Timelines #4

Type: Jersey Card
Acquired: Bought Online
This relic card was an ebay splurge for me. I actually got it at a good price and I love the design of the card, not to mention the fact that it is a "Boys of Summer" card. My end goal is to have enough of these jersey cards in my possession that I can sew them all together to make my own game used Bo Jackson jersey! The back of the card, like most relic cards has no info or stats, just a congratulations message from Donruss. I wish that companies would change that standard and give us a little somethin, somethin on tha back to enjoy.

2003 Leaf Certified Materials

Type: Memorabilia Card
Acquired: Via Ebay
This was the first memorabilia card I ever purchased of Bo Jackson. I grabbed it off Ebay for around $15. It is cut from an authentic game worn jersey from the 1990 MLB season. Of course this was Bo's last season as Royal before his hip injury caused him to be released by the team. My goal is to collect enough of these cards so I can eventually make my own authentic Bo Jackson jersey. That may take a little time to pull off, so maybe I'll just sit back and admire the card I have before me?
