Barry Larkin Collection 581: 1990 Star - #11

Barry Larkin
Year:  1990
Brand:  Star
Card number:  11

The final card in the eleven card 1990 Star Barry Larkin set is definitely a bit of a dud.  In fact, I'm fairly certain that this card only exists so that Star could produce an 11 card set (Larkin's number) rather than a ten card set.  While the front of the card is only "okay" (kind of a dark image, to be honest), the back of the card is painfully bad.  I mean, there's a decent sized Reds' logo at the top of the card...but in the middle of the card?  Nothing but an exact copy of the same log...just much, much larger. 

So the set ends on a bit of a downer, but I have to say - overall this is a pretty cool little set.  Sure, it has its flaws - but it is a great set to explore all that Barry Larkin had accomplished by 1990, after basically three full seasons in the big leagues.
