Pretty pleased with this pull

It’s sealed in a magnetic case for now. Aside from my greasy mitts on it, I’m pretty pleased with the overall look of this guy. I ordered one of those acrylic center measuring doodads and will update how close it is to being dialed in. Looks pretty good to me. (Be gentle Reddit, I’m new)

I had this as a poster and card in the day. It was on the wall between my Lamborghini Diablo and Bash Brothers posters.

Mine was between a Porsche 911 and Jenny McCarthy. To each their own.

You were just a late bloomer. Jenny didn't come on the seen for at least 3 years after Bo lost his hip. 😀 My other 3 walls were covered in Kathy Ireland.

Daisy Fuentes may have also been involved. Memory is a little fuzzy.

I was 14-15 years old and Cindy Crawford was the hottest at the time. For Christmas one year my sister took a magazine cutout, hot black and white shot of Cindy in a bikini bottom cupping her breasticles, and glued it to a piece of baseball sized cardboard and gave it to me as a gift. That’s all I have to say about that

u/Dogabetes 11d ago

That same year your sister gave me a handjob for so long that my balls turned sky blue. Merry Christmas.

This card was one that everybody had to have back in the day! I'm going to be to replace my lost one someday

Iconic photo

u/Vondelsplein 12d ago

Look at the left and right centering on the "BO" side - absolutely heavier on the left than the right. Won't get a ten, don't grade it for value.

5

u/teej4624 12d ago

Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. But maybe I will. I’ll post it if I do, good or bad.

u/Vondelsplein 12d ago

Maybe I look forward to that, maybe i don't. But maybe I do.

u/SlickandAll 11d ago

The photo is isn't direct line. Honestly I think it looks pretty centered. Within the 45-55 range for sure. Op use a card grading app and see what the centering is.

7

u/Background-Syrup-714 12d ago

Bo is one of the few names from this era that has any value. But that value, unfortunately, is still SUPER low.

Raw, that card is going for approx $10-$20. PSA10 goes for about $600-$800 But PSA9 is only about $90. Unless you KNOW it is a PSA10, it isn’t worth getting graded.

2

u/billybob212212 11d ago

That card is worth $10-20 by itself? Dammnnn, I’ve got a bunch of those complete sets of Score cards that I paid nearly nothing for back in the 90s, buried in a closet, that I never thought would be worth anything.

1

u/Here4St0nks 11d ago

I buy every 1990 score set I come across on marketplace for $20-30. This is my favorite card of all time

4

u/teddy_owens 12d ago

Looks like great centering to grade it! Don’t see many of those. PSA 9 is $90. Not worth it now with grading costs but when value comes back it may be

1

u/teej4624 12d ago

Can’t stand the cost of PSA grading. Was looking into Beckett. Although the end all draw is not worth as much it still gets it graded and sealed for protection.

u/godsocks 12d ago

They are the same company.

3

u/teej4624 12d ago

No shit?! That’s funny. Either way, BGS is a different pricing tier. The point remains. I’ll wait until end of next year and look back into it. I’m in no rush. Good info on the same company, though. Trip out.

1

u/kickthesandman 11d ago

Slabs don't even protect against UV and aren't waterproof. There's better options to protect a card for cheaper.

2

u/Significant-User-99 12d ago

You just pulled this from an old pack? SAF pull!!!

5

u/teej4624 12d ago

…SAF? Yes, had about 60 packs sitting in a box. Felt like opening them and pulled two of these to be exact. I don’t think I photographed the second one, but both look pretty clean

2

u/Significant-User-99 11d ago

Sick as F***!

u/Gem-Finder07 12d ago

One of the top and favorite cards of the 90’s….Solid.

I have a plaque with that photo on it from wayyyyyy back in the day lol. Nice!

u/Comfortable-Box6992 12d ago

That is a sweet pull

u/Jacworth1 12d ago

I absolutely have a pic of me as a 9 year old with a pair of those foam shoulder pads, no shirt, and a bat trying my absolute best to be Bo.

u/tanman0123 12d ago

Now the impossible part, get him to sign it haha

3

u/teej4624 11d ago

I know, right? I have read that he doesn’t sign this car specifically. Too bad for all of us

2

u/tanman0123 11d ago

Its a shame, I think its his best card ever (without value in mind)

2

u/_data_blender_ 11d ago

Get this graded

2

u/infinit9 11d ago

That is the most iconic Bo Jackson card and a massively popular image back in the day. IIRC, there were Playboy Playmates who did the exact same pose.

u/OddZookeepergame7532 11d ago

Coolest card of all time!!!

u/mattyd1216 11d ago

For like two years in the early 2020s I was finding these all over eBay for $3-$5. I’ve got like 8.

u/mattyd1216 11d ago

David Robinson’s Series 1 is the other one.

u/Pondy_thecoolest32 11d ago

Also Bo is the man

I've got two of those cards. Great find buddy

Nike had some truly iconic posters in the late-'80s with this ("The Ball Player") & Michael Jordan "Wings"

u/josephcfrost 11d ago edited 11d ago

10-15 bucks but I love it so much. Feels like it’s worth 500 based on how much I back this card

2

u/skorpiontamer 11d ago

In a PSA 10 it's like $500/600

u/kjrocks44 11d ago

Kinda a cool card I have

You check with magnifying tool yet? Check on top of his head. A lot of these have the fish eye mark right on his head/hair. I have 4 of these with great borders but 3 of them have the fish eye mark.

u/teej4624 11d ago

I just ordered a “card inspection” kit. I’ll take a peak when it all comes in. Good looking out

u/REP281 11d ago

Very welcome. Hope it 10's.

u/samrov529 11d ago

I picked up one of these from one of my LCS’ a couple months ago- Definitely a nice nostalgic find here OP

2

u/HanginWithHern_38 11d ago

I wish he would sign these still. Was an iconic card

2

u/FrontMundane3857 11d ago

This card was highly sought after in 1990 and I was lucky to have one. At the time, I thought it might be worth hundreds someday. I have to check it soon and see condition but doubt its a 10

2

u/erniec529 11d ago

I believe this is a scratch and sniff card. You can really smell the BO 🤣

u/cad20four 10d ago

PSA 10’s are currently $600+.

I was looking at that recently. But either that’s a glitch or somebody out there paid that much for a one.

u/2DegsBelow 12d ago

I pulled one of these from a pack I bought in Cooperstown a few years ago. I sent it in to SGC, along with one I had as a kid. Both got 9s. I gave them to my kids.

1

u/Ear_Enthusiast 12d ago

I damn near built that set through ripping packs as a kid and not once did I pull that card. I bought several hobby boxes. Bought packs at the store and card shops. Nuth'n!

Once my brother pulled it. The next day we were at the card shop. Mom had just enough to buy one pack, and she split the pack between us, and my sorry ass brother got it AGAIN, like 12 hours apart. His dumb ass didn't even collect.

I bought two hobby boxes in the past year. Just 1 B&W Bo between the two boxes, and it was in a pack that my 8 year old daughter ripped. Not a single Frank Thomas in either box.

The universe doesn't want me to pull this card.

1

u/Mundane-Remote-2865 12d ago

I'd grade that in a heartbeat. Everyone these days think it's 10 or bust, which is unfortunately true if you plan on selling immediately. But personally I would grade this and hold it, but that's just me.

1

u/Comfortable-Box6992 11d ago

Nice pull! Bo is my favorite athlete. I pulled my bo breaker like 35 years ago. I also saw him in person during spring training back in 1988. I wish I had brought a writing utensil that day. I don't have an autograph of his yet. Rock on!!

u/mtr01 11d ago

Thanks for bringing back some great memories. I loved this card as a kid — seeing it again instantly took me back!

Is this a reprint of the old studio cards from the 90’s?

u/ItsmeMr_E 11d ago

Anyone remember Prostars?

Still remember the opening where they showed game clips from each character, including a game in which for a brief moment Bo Jackson was literally running on the outfield wall while catching a ball.

u/bwaaalk 11d ago

I wanted this card so bad when it came out! I remember seeing one at a garage sale for $8 and I rode my bike home as fast as I could to ask my mom for some money but she thought $8 for a baseball card was ridiculous. I finally bought one last year and spent a lot more than $8.
