Chris Potter was kind enough to take a Bo Jackson card to the National for me. He didn't ask for any kind of payment for the help, so I definitely appreciate the gesture.
Unfortunately, in what is beginning to look like a pattern, the card was signed with a Staedtler. I did not request Sharpie, so I can't really complain. The autograph isn't nearly as thin as the Thomas autographs in my last post, but it isn't quite as bold as I would have liked.
On top of that, Bo gave a very small autograph. I guess I should be happy that Bo put his #8 on the card.
All in all, I'm happy to cross this off of my wantlist. I still need Bo for the 1991 and 1992 Upper Deck sets, as well as a rookie card. I just couldn't bring myself to pay $316 for 4 signed cards. I think I might have an opportunity to get the other cards signed early next year for $40 a pop, which is a lot easier to stomach.
In the meantime, I am one step closer to completing my favorite Upper Deck set of all time. All I need now is Joey Cora, George Bell, Ellis Burks, Dave Stieb, and the Robin Ventura team checklist.
