Barry Larkin Collection 864: 1991 Panini Canadian Stickers Top 15 - #28

Barry Larkin

Year:  1991

Brand:  Panini Canadian Stickers Top 15

Card number:  28

First, it's a little amusing that in a set called "Top 15" that Larkin's sticker number is actually 28.  As it turns out, the sticker set celebrates the top 15 players for various statistics (Larkin makes the cut for being 4th in Hits back in 1990).  Barry finished a mere three hits behind Ryne Sandberg in 1990, so close to that bronze medal (the large 185 at the bottom of the sticker indicates how many hits Larkin accumulated in '90).

Considering the fact that this is actually a sticker and not a proper baseball card, I have to say there's quite a bit of good information on the sticker front.  Heck, even the overall design is better than you find with most stickers...and getting both English and French on the sticker back is kind of fun (also the fact that it was printed in Italy - we lost our chance for three languages on one card)!
