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.

1986 Memphis Chicks Silver #NA

Type: Limited Set

Acquired: Bought Online

I really don't have a lot of info on this card it looks like it was part of a minor league team set for the Memphis Chicks that was released in 1986 by Time Out Sports. This is one of my favorite cards because it shows Bo off in his Chicks uniform right before he was called up by the Royals and became a superstar! I have another one of these cards with a gold border on it. I don't know how many of each cards was produced or why they offered color variants, but it is a very cool card with a nice layout.

Anything that features Bo in his Memphis Chicks uniform must become part of my collection. No matter the price, I will purchase these cards! I was happy to add this STAR '88 card to my collection for under a buck. I don't have the rest of this set, but I am continuously on the lookout for it!
