Barry Larkin

Year:  1990

Brand:  Star Barry Larkin & Bo Jackson

Card number:  4

Buckle up for the parade of cards that is 1990 Star Barry Larkin & Bo Jackson.  I showed off the first Larkin card from this set a few days ago (see here) and now I'm back with the next Larkin card from the set.  

Editor's note:  In case you are wondering, I'm only collecting the Barry Larkin portion of the 1990 Star Barry Larkin & Bo Jackson set.  Someone else out there can try for the Bo cards.  After all, if there's one thing Bo knows, it's the I don't need even more unwanted cards in my collection!

Anyhow, back to today's featured card.  It's a strange one in that you get 3/4 of Barry Larkin in the photo (no ankles/feet) and about 5/6 of the umpire (most of his head is missing).  The card is so strangely cropped that I can't help but wonder if Star was employing 12-year-olds to make some of their cards?!  As for the card back, it's all about Larkin's career at the All-Star game...a game that Larkin was nominated to a bunch of times but unfortunately Barry never did overly great in All-Star games throughout his career (by 1990, he was already 0-for-2 with a strikeout).

I still have a few more cards from this particular set to show off, hopefully they'll get posted to the blog without too much further delay!  Stay tuned.
