Reeling in Another Barry Larkin Rookie Card!

Over the years, I've accumulated well over 1,000 different Barry Larkin cards.  And yet, through all of those cards there was one relatively common rookie card of Larkin's that I never managed to acquire - that is, not until now thanks to a recent eBay purchase:


That's Larkin's 1987 Fleer Glossy card - or at least, I sure hope it is since it seems only a bit more glossy than Larkin's regular Fleer card from that year.  I'm taking the eBay seller's word for it I guess as I don't know of any other way to differentiate between the glossy and the non-glossy version other than feel.

With the 1987 Fleer Glossy now in my possession, I'm down to needing only one more Barry Larkin card from '87.


That's a tiny snippet of my Larkin Collection spreadsheet - as you can see, I'm nearly done with the 1980s Larkin cards!  And if you were wondering, the last 1987 card that I need is an oddball - a New Reds Machine card #7.  

For now, I'll simply be happy with what I have - that oddball card can wait for another day!

  1. Congratulations on landing the glossy. I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference without have a regular version to compare it to.

  2. I've always wondered if these were easy to tell apart from the regular cards. Sounds like that isn't the case.
