1994 O-Pee-Chee #116

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Bought Online
This is the latest Bo Jackson card to my collection and let me say, I like it! I like the graphics and photo on the front of the card. I think we need more cards that show Bo in the outfield. His arm on defense was just as deadly as hit bat on offense, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of cards out there that highlight this overlooked aspect of Bo's game. The back is nice and has an intense looking photo of Bo on top of his total career stats! Let's not forget that this card is bi-lingual and includes a French translation to the English text! Nice card from the twilight of Mr. Jackson's career!

1993 O-Pee-Chee #151

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Purchased Online
This card was a surprise find. I always thought O-Pee-Chee cards were just Topps cards with a different logo. I looked it up and found that O-Pee-Chee and Topps entered into a marketing agreement in 1958. There was a sharing of Hockey and Baseball series up until the 90s. In 1990 O-Pee-Chee wanted to stand out in a crowded Hockey card market and created a premiere hockey series that was so popular it spun off a baseball series. These lasted until 1993. I've learned so much today and I hope you did too!
