Barry Larkin Collection 939: 1993 Leaf Update - #6 - Gold Stars

Barry Larkin & Cal Ripken, Jr.
Year:  1993
Brand:  Leaf Update
Insert set:  Gold Stars
Card number:  6


The early-to-mid 90s featured a surprising number of Barry Larkin cards where Barry had to share the spotlight with a fellow AL shortstop superstar (mostly Ripken though also occasionally Derek Jeter).  This particular Leaf card is one such example where Barry gets to be on one side and Cal gets the other side.  You do get a photograph of each player but otherwise there isn't much to the card - no team logos (or even indication of a team name), no positions, no statistics, basically no nothing!  That all said, I still like this card alright, it'll never be in my Top 100 Barry Larkin cards but it'll also never be in my Bottom 100 Larkin cards either!
