Barry Larkin Collection 819: 1990 Kahn's

Barry Larkin

Year:  1990

Brand:  Kahns

Card number:  none

Throughout all of Barry Larkin's playing career, Kahn's released a stadium giveaway team set.  As a Barry Larkin collector who lives nowhere near Cincinnati, it's up to me to try and track down the Larkin card from each of those stadium giveaways...and that's easier said than done sometimes!  

As for this particular year of Kahn's cards, I'd say the design is fairly nice for a "free" set.  I like the extra mug shot on the back of the card (along with the full career stats - including minor leagues)!  It's sort of weird that Larkin's position is listed as "infielder" rather than shortstop but it isn't a big deal.  Overall, it's oddballs like this that can make being a player collector so fun (and also so frustrating if you can't find the card you are looking for...*ahem* 1987 Kahn's).
