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!

1994 Panini Sticker #49

Type: Sticker

Acquired: Bought Online

Recently while reading one of my favorite card collecting blogs, The Chronicles of Fuji, I saw that he had purchased some cards for 10 cents apiece via the website baseballcardstore.ca. I decided to take a look at what this site had to offer and saw they had all their cards on sale for a dime! I went a little crazy and bought about 200 cards from the site including a few new Bo Jackson cards. One of these new acquisitions is the 1994 Panini Sticker you see above. I actually like the simplicity of the green border and pennant featuring the team logo and player name. As would be expected the back does not offer anything except the sticker number that shows you where to place it in the album. Another cool thing about this sticker is that it is just shy of being the same size as a true baseball card. Not bad for a few cents! 

1991 Fleer Ultra #149

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Bought at Card Shop

Fleer Ultra was one of the first if not, the first premium sets of cards that flooded the market in the 90s. I like the look of this set from 1991. I remember going crazy for these cards! The muted silver border on the front does not detract from the great shot of Bo at the plate and the three photo back is also an excellent touch. Throughout the years Fleer would improve on their Ultra line of cards by including UV coating and foil accents, but in my opinion the layout of this early set really is a standout. As is typical with Fleer Ultra, the card does not include full career stats.

1990 Donruss #650

Type: Subset Card

Acquired: Pulled From Pack

This card commemorates Bo Jackson's one and only All-Star Game appearance in 1989. Not only was Bo voted into the game, but he won the MVP award due to his monster lead-off home run. In the end Bo drove in 2 runs, scored a run and stole a base in the 60th Mid-Season classic.

1990 Classic #2

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Trade With Friend

Nothing too notable about this base card from Classic. The front totally screams 90s and could have been used in the intro to "Saved By The Bell". I actually like the blend of hot pink tears on the dark blue background. The back is classic Classic (see what I did there?), lack of season stats, inclusion of career stats and of course baseball trivia! Photo on the front is okay. Not great, but okay.

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.

1989 Score Young Superstars #5

Type: Limited Series

Acquired: Bought at Show

This card was from a limited set put out by Score in 1989. This set highlighted a lot of the up and coming baseball stars including Bo Jackson. I like the front pic of Bo in the batters box. It's a nice angle that isn't used too often on Bo cards. The back includes a photo I know I have seen before in other Score offerings, but the layout is nice nonetheless. It includes stats, some decent coloring and a little blurb about Mr. Bo.
