1989 Sportflics #70

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Bought at Show

I have no real attachment to this card. I love Sportflics, but this one card seems to be more of the same. The photos are okay, but not great and the stats are slim. The only thing I like about this card and I feel makes it stand out, is the nice, large, centered photo on the back on Bo running the bases. It's a pretty unique photo and a nice way to present it on the back, even if it takes away room from his stats.

1988 Sportflics #148

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Pulled From a Pack

This card holds a special place in my collection as it was one of the first Bo cards I ever pulled from a pack. This and the 1987 Topps Future Star cards will always be special to me. Also, this is a nice looking card and the fact that it has the magic motion action doesn't hurt things at all. Additionally, the photo on the back really helps this card stand out. It's not often cards feature a shot of Bo running the bases.

Sportflics need to make a comeback. These things were amazing to me as a kid. You got so much on one card. A head shot and an action shot that can be changed with the flick of a wrist...yes please! I like the shot of young Bo they chose for this card and the action shot is standard Bo, but it has that bit of action to it when you use the magic motion feature. The backs are nice too. I really like the layout with the small photo at the top next to the name. It leaves plenty of space for Bo's early stats.

I absolutely love Sportflics cards! They were awesome 30 years ago and they are still awesome today! The magic motion of the cards was unique back in the 80s & 90s then you began to see the fad everywhere, but in my opinion these baseball cards did it the best. You could actually see your favorite slugger smash the ball, you could witness your favorite pitcher throw a fastball down the middle. This was pure magic to a young collector and I still have a soft spot for these cards today. Also, the backs of the cards were very well done. Utilizing half the card for a color photo of the player and the other half for some stats. Well done Sportflics! Please make a comeback sometime soon!

1995 SportFlix #140

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Purchased Online

I really enjoyed the SportFlix brand of cards when they were introduced in the mid 80s. Not only did you get a photo of your favorite player on the front of the card, but you got an ambition of your favorite player hitting a home run or making a great catch. This was revolutionary! Then these cards disappeared for a few years from the market, only to return in the mid 90s! This time the cards had better graphics and more color added to the backs. We need more SportFlix on the shelves today!
