1988 STAR #NN

Type: Base Card
Acquired: Bought Online
This card is a bit of a mystery for me. Obviously it's from one of Star's many player based sets, but it shows Bo in his Auburn football uniform and it features the Kansas City Royals logo and the verbiage "Kansas City Bomber". The back of the card is where the real mystery comes in...because there is none! Was this a printing error, maybe a promotional card? If anyone knows, please help me out by dropping some knowledge in the comment section below. All that said, I do like the photo on the front of the card. It's one that I have not seen used anywhere else before. I don't even remember where this card came from. I'm assuming it was in a lot that I purchased online? So many questions!!!!

1989 STAR #2 of 11

Type: Limited Set
Acquired: Bought Online
Yes, it is another boring STAR card from 1989, but I actually give this one some small kudos due to the image on the front of the card. It shows Bo in mid swing at the plate. The photo is unique and that is why I can't say this is one of my least favorite Bo cards in my collection. It is near the bottom though. That's due to the dull graphics on the front of the card and the bland back of the card. At least it gives us Bo's career minor league stats. I know I am complaining about this card quite a bit, but I have quite a few reasons to do so.

1989 STAR #1 of 11

Type: Limited Set

Acquired: Bought Online

These STAR cards from the late 80's really are pretty boring. I understand that colors match the Royals colors, but it is just so bland. The photo is okay and the back of the card offers little in the way of anything! This card is the checklist for an 11 card Bo Jackson set. Despite all it's negatives, it's good to know there are sets devoted to my favorite athlete of all time out there and as a collector it is now part of my collection!

1988 Star Limited Set #2

Type: Limited Set

Acquired: Bought At Card Show

STAR card sets are not my favorite to collect. There are so many "limited" sets that were put out in the late 80s & early 90s that it is hard to keep them straight. Every now and then, I do discover some of these cards in the bargain bins at card shows and I will pick them up if they are cheap. The borders are kind of plain and the backs lack a lot of color and style that other card companies did so well at the time. This card however, features Bo in his minor league Memphis Chicks uniform and recaps his stats from those early years. These two aspects alone make it one of my favorite STAR cards ever produced!

Type: Limited Set

Acquired: Purchased at Show

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!
