Remember the Al Leiter thing?

1988 Topps Bo Jackson

1988 has a significance for o me because that’s the year I started collecting as a kid. I don’t quite remember my first cards, but I remember getting packs of ‘88 Topps at the pharmacy. The design was so simple with so much of the players photo on the front and his stats from every professional year on the back.

This is also the same year Bo had his 1988 Topps football rookie card.

I remember back when you could tell it’s a rookie card if his major league team line is only listed in the back once. I thought this was a rookie card but when I checked on eBay there was a Future Stars from 1987 available. My luck 😜

I’m realizing that my peak collecting years were when the “steroid allegations generation” players were rookies

Here’s a link to all Rafael Palmeiro cards on eBay to get an idea of their potential value : https://ebay.us/Exr3Le
