1995 Upper Deck Collectors Choice Special Edition #36

Type: Special Edition
Acquired: Bought Online
Nothing special to see here, just Bo giving you 2 tickets to the gun show! DAMN! That guy was jacked! No wonder he was able to be that unique combination of size, power and speed during his football & baseball career. Also, I'm sure his peak fitness helped in his recovery from what many deemed a "Career Ending" hip injury. Bo proved them all wrong and was able to continue his home run smashing ways for a few more seasons in the MLB. This card shows him in his twilight as a California Angel where he was able to knock out 13 home runs and bring in an additional 45 RBI.

1990 Donruss Learning Series #38

Type: Learning Series
Acquired: Via Ebay
This is a card that I never knew existed! I have a bunch of different Bo cards from the 1990 Donruss set including MVP, All-Star and base cards, but I never heard of the Donruss "Learning Series"! I did some digging and according to BaseballCardPedia.com the "1990 Donruss Learning Series is a 55-card set that served as part of an educational packet for elementary and middle school students." DANG! I wish I had these as a kid. I would have learned so much more! Who am I kidding...I would have just hoarded these and continued to be a solid straight C student.
