Barry Larkin Collection 663: 1989 Sportflics - #136

Barry Larkin
Year:  1989
Brand:  Sportflics
Card number:  136

Somehow, someway, this 1989 Sportflics Larkin card eluded me until only just recently.  It's amazing how a relatively common card from an overproduced "junk wax" era still somehow ended up being so difficult to acquire!  Perhaps even more interesting (at least to me), is that I now only own 22 of the 36 1989 Barry Larkin cards produced (or at least that I am aware of being produced).  Here's the full list of 1989 Larkin cards, along with whether or not I currently own each card.

Pretty amazing, isn't it?  Even more amazing, in terms of percentages I own 61.11% of the different 1989 Barry Larkin cards.  That percentage is the highest single year percentage for ANY year (other than 1986 for which I own the only Larkin card that I am aware of that was produced that year, 1987 for which I own 76.47% (13 out of 17 cards, and 1993 for which I own 62.82% of the cards). 

If nothing else, it goes to show that even if you have only "junk wax" Larkin cards, there's a decent chance that I still might need them!
