I would like to find out what the rarest and most hard to find Bo Jackson cards are. Please post your thoughts or opinions.

In my opinion this is hands down the rarest and most hard to find Bo Jackson card of all Bo Jackson cards. 1988 Ace Fact Pack Bo Jackson

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

cree · May 20, 2013 11:51PM

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

totallyradd · May 20, 2013 11:52PM

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

cree · May 20, 2013 11:57PM

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

72skywalker · May 21, 2013 12:07AM

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.

Dpeck100 · May 21, 2013 12:08AM

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.

Beck6 · May 21, 2013 12:11AM

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

cree · May 21, 2013 12:12AM

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

jradke4 · May 21, 2013 12:15AM

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.

cree · May 21, 2013 12:17AM

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.

ReggieCleveland · May 21, 2013 12:51AM

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

cree · May 21, 2013 12:52AM

Bo Jackson does not have a Blue Chips card.

RedHeart54 · May 21, 2013 1:03AM

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

Big80s · May 21, 2013 1:39AM

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

ToadMan · May 21, 2013 1:50AM

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

3BoyzTrading · May 21, 2013 2:37AM

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 · May 21, 2013 2:51AM

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

AkbarClone · May 21, 2013 2:51AM

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 · May 21, 2013 3:04AM

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.

saucywombat · May 21, 2013 3:10AM

1994 Sportflics Rookie/Traded Artist Proof - is pretty scarce

rabbitpunch · May 21, 2013 4:36AM

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.

I have a 1990 Pro Set FACT Bo Jackson card if anyone is interested in buying or trading. Let me know.

jmmiller777 · June 11, 2013 11:02AM

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.

cree · July 5, 2013 3:52AM

Bump...

CDsNuts · July 6, 2013 10:08AM

I just drew one on a napkin in purple crayon that is extremely rare.

Yep, 1991 Foot Locker Slam Fest #22 Bo Jackson. Have one in the mail from eBay, soon to be graded.

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

Some other details on this 1991 Kansas City Life Insurance Police set:

Checklist:

dytch2220 · July 14, 2013 7:21PM

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...

detroitlion20 · July 15, 2013 9:11PM

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...

cree · August 10, 2013 7:03AM

My most recent pickup. It's pretty Rare.
