One basketball great playing baseball, and one baseball great playing basketball. Like the post from yesterday, each of the cards shown in this post were added to eBay orders after finding the card I was actually looking for.
Moving on to a real 2-Sport star, Bo Jackson! His 1990 Score card is getting a lot of hobby buzz lately, which shows Bo wearing shoulder pads and holding a bat. This "AAMER Sports" oddball is even better if you ask me. It even comes with a bootleg Rookie Cup!
The card back features his career stats in both sports so far. you could see he was just getting started in both with a great deal of potential still to come if not for his hip injury.

A few bootleg Kirbys and a Pizza Rolls Vikings card - This image looks like a Renaissance painting!
Here's the back of the Puckett cards, in all their non-descript glory.
Here's a Barry Larkin rookie card from the folks at The Press Box.
Do you like to collect oddball cards, or do you prefer to stick to major brands?
Thanks for reading!
I do enjoy the occasional oddball, but some of them are just terrible cards really.
ReplyDeleteOnly if they don't airbrush the hats. Barry Larkin cards always look good.
ReplyDeleteI love oddballs! I even have that exact same Bo Jackson in my binders right now even though it looks like it was printed in some dude's basement.
ReplyDeleteLove oddballs... and I have a whole box dedicated to Broders.
ReplyDeleteI like Broders, but would never pay very much for one.
