I've always liked the 1987 Auburn Tigers baseball and 1987 Auburn Tigers football...

cree

Those Mcdag Auburn Tigers Baseball and Football cards are pretty cool. I have several of them.

I'm guessing the 87 Classic Green Auburn Baseball has to be in the conversation.

cree

That's one of my favorite Bo Jackson cards. A very condition sensitive card, almost imposible to find in gem mint.

My personal favorite is still the 1990 score Black and White "BO" card. In the day it was rumored that the card was going to get score in a lot of trouble and that it was very rare. Now we know they did not get in trouble and there are millons of them out there. Everytime I see one in a $.25 box I have to buy it.

I am no expert but I have seen I believe the silver version of his Memphis Chicks card do well.

There are a few of them and one is much tougher then the others. Cool looking card too.

I think the 1986 or 1987 Baseball's Best is pretty tough to find.

1990 Score #697 Black & White FB/BB Iconic Sports Image of the 90's!

considering he retired before the explosion of "rare" inserts and parallel cards, i would have to say it would be one of the regional type cards. but though they maybe be hard to find most places they might not be rare in that area.

The 1987 Fleer Baseball's Best/Slugger vs. Pitchers Box Bottom card #M4 Bo jackson card is very rare & hard to find in good shape.

Does Bo have a Blue Chips card? If so, there's your answer.

cree

Bo Jackson does not have a Blue Chips card.

RedHeart54

Anyone remember the Foot Locker "basketball" card of his? That was a pretty hot one in the day.

Big80s

Great thread, and Bo knows it! I'm a big fan of his 1986 Topps Traded Tiffany card.

ToadMan

What about the Kansas City Police cards?
Also, found this article that I found interesting. Cards tossed in furnace.

I would have to imagine the 1993 Finest Refractor would be the toughest and highest profile.

There are about 500 cards of Bo Jackson (including football and baseball) that have a stated print run of "1" according to the online checklist.

sportscardtheory

Are you talking from only his playing days? And which sport?

AkbarClone

Actually the full count is like 605 "1/1" cards with Bo Jackson on them (many are solo, some are multi-player cards) and they go beyond his playing days (Commemorative cards from sets like 2009 TRISTAR Obak, 2012 Panini National Treasures, 2011 SP Legendary Cuts)

sportscardtheory

For baseball (playing days only), his lowest stated print-run card is the 1993 Finest Refractor at 241 and some of the toughest are the 1986 Donruss Highlights White Letter Variation, 1989 Topps Heads Up Test, 1990 Donruss Aqueous Test cards, 1990 Donruss Preview, 1991 Topps Desert Shield, 1993 Finest Jumbo, 1994 Pinnacle Artist's Proof and the 1994 SP Holoview Die Cut.

1994 Sportflics Rookie/Traded Artist Proof - is pretty scarce

Is the 1986 Memphis chicks "silver" known to be counterfeited? I've seen copies that sometimes look lighter especially the black ink

I was going to mention the '89 Heads Up and '90 Aqueous cards, but you beat me to it. I'm glad I read your whole post though, because I had never heard of the '86 Donruss White Letter variations. I just looked them up in the Standard Catalog. Interesting.

Edited to add: Here's one now.

Was there a regional McDonalds card with Bo? I also remember all those unauthorized or unlicensed "Bo knows..." cards. Pictures associating him with every sport.

Bump...

Just bought this entire set, including Bo. Praying for a PSA 10.

Checklist:

Population for the KC Police set:



Only one Bo Jackson ever submitted, graded PSA 8. Several George Brett. Curious that they say N/A for George Brett's card number although it's clearly listed as #5 on the front of the card. Even on the PSA grading placard. Look...

how about the 1989 Score Football and 1990 Score Baseball promo cards. I have only seen 1 of the football promos and have not seen any of the baseball promos.

Certainly not a rare card - but the only way Bo could've looked cooler in this card is if he was still in a Royals jersey...

My most recent pickup. It's pretty Rare.
