Barry Larkin Collection 1,044: 1996 Bowman's Best - #4 - Mirror Image

Barry Larkin

Year:  1996

Brand: Bowman's Best

Card number:  4

Insert:  Mirror Image 

The 1996 Bowman's Best set had a 10-card insert called Mirror Image.  Each card in the set featured four MLB players across the two leagues, ostensibly an established star and an up-and-comer from each league.  Barry is featured as the established star and paired with fellow National Leaguer Neifi Perez who was certainly considered a possible rising star at the time.  The other side of this card has Cal Ripken (obvious star) paired with Mark Bellhorn (which feels like a pretty big swing and miss).  

In addition to the above insert, there are also two parallels of the above insert that I still need to track down (as of the time of this post).  There is an Atomic Refractor version and a Refractor version, both of which have eluded me to date (though both are currently available on COMC so maybe I should consider making a purchase)!
