1994 Pacific #128

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Bought at a Show

In my opinion, this is one of the best looking Bo Jackson cards ever! The front has a beautiful photo on it that is not obstructed by the company logo or player name. The name itself is in an eye pleasing font over a team color coordinated background and the photo of Bo doing his high kick is excellent. The back has a great in field photo of Bo and has his last season & career stats.  As usual, I would have appreciated more stats, but this time I will forgive Pacific due to the fantastic quality of the large photo.

1991 Donruss #BC-10

Type: Insert Card

Acquired: Traded with Friend

This early 90s Donruss card highlights Bo Jackson's tremendous feat of smashing 4 consecutive home runs. It's nice when you see a player's feats of excellence celebrated in card form and this one makes me exceptionally happy due to the fact that it features my hero Bo Jackson. These "Highlights" cards were randomly inserted into packs and it was a big thrill to pull one. This was at the beginning of the early 90s insert card craze and I thought they were pretty cool. The photo on the front is great and features Bo smashing one of his 4 consecutive home runs. The back on the other hand is bland, but tells the history of this milestone. They could have at least added a little splash of color. I expect better from you early 90s Donruss!

1987 Sportflics #190

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Bought at a Show

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.

1992 Score #361

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Traded with Friend

This was another one of those early Bo Jackson/White Sox cards. After the gruesome injury that took Bo away from the gridiron and the release from the Royals, it was amazing to see Bo back on the field swinging away for our sports pleasure. I really like the colors of this card. I feel the purple helps the black and gray of the Sox uniform stand out. The back photo is also a nice touch. The shot of Bo giving a sly smile will always be one of my favorites.

1992 Classic #108

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Bought Online

This card has a nice look to it, almost like it was meant to be a poster hanging on some Bo Jackson fanatic back in the early 90s. I know I had something similar to this on my wall from the Chicago White Sox days. The front of the card is very colorful and includes a nice at bat photo of Bo and the color is nicely complimented by the all white back of the card. The back leaves a ton of stats out and it would have been nice to see Jackson's stats from previous years.

1990 Donruss Grand Slammers #12

Type: Insert Card

Acquired: Bought Online

Growing up, I never knew this card existed. From some online research the Grand Slammers set was released as an extra for those who bought the complete set in 1990. The cards commemorate 12 players who hit Grand Slam home runs during the previous season. These players include such greats as Matt Williams, Mark McGwire, Will Clark, Fred McGriff and Mr. Bo Jackson himself. I actually like the look of this card. A lot of people really don't care for the 1990 Donruss set design, but I find it unique and the addition of the "Grand Slammers" stripe in the lower left corner really adds to the card and does not obstruct the nice photo of Bo. the back gives a brief history of Bo's Grand Salami on September 27, 1989 off of Angels reliever Willie Fraser. This card is a nice addition to this stand out set.

1990 Score #566

Type: Base Card

Acquired: Pulled From Pack

I freakin' love this card! It shows Bo at his peak and gives us a glimpse at what could have been if that pesky hip injury never happened on the gridiron. In 1989 Bo was the star of stars when he grabbed MVP honors at the MLB All-Star Game. Bo smashed a home run off of Rick Reuschel in the first inning, drove in 2 RBI, scored 1 run and had a stolen base! Not bad on 4 plate appearances. What a great, iconic Bo Jackson photo on the back with him hoisting the MVP trophy. This is a great card from a nice early 90s set. A must have for any Bo collector!
