(Bo Jackson Topps Tribute Memorable Materials Jersey Card 46/89) |
I know the card doesn't feature a huge jersey patch or auto, but I'm still pretty excited just to add a Bo Jackson jersey card to my collection. The card is fairly rare with a print run of only 89. The print run is significant because the Topps Memorable Materials set highlights a milestone moment in MLB history. In this case, the memorable moment was Jackson winning the 1989 All-Star Game MVP Award. Jackson lead the game off with a 448 ft. home run that turned many big leaguers into spectators and also had a potential games saving catch in the outfield.
The 1989 All-Star Game was the coming out party for Jackson as a professional baseball player. Unfortunately, it would be Bo's last MLB All-Star Game. As we all know, Jackson suffered a catastrophic hip injury in a '91 NFL playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Although Bo's hip injury was more than unfortunate, it's really great to remember the highlights of his career. That's why, "Bo Knows Memorable Materials".
Happy Collecting and… "Enjoy Every Bounce of the Ball".
Those Tribute cards are sweet! Congrats on the pick up.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that card. I need to pick up a couple of Bo's for my collection.
ReplyDeleteNice card. One of my favorites is my Bo bat relic card.
ReplyDeleteAnother great post... another sweet card... Charles knows Bo. Btw... I still haven't been able to win a Bo auto on eBay... starting to get frustrated.
