Bo Jackson Card Appraisal

1990 Donruss Diamond Kings Bo Jackson Baseball Card (Error)

This item is a 1990 Donruss Diamond Kings Bo Jackson baseball card, presented with an 'error' characteristic. The card features an illustrated portrait of Bo Jackson, a prominent multi-sport athlete, looking directly forward. He is depicted wearing a light blue baseball jersey with white trim around the collar and a blue baseball cap with the 'KC' logo, indicating his affiliation with the Kansas City Royals. A smaller, full-body illustration of Bo Jackson in a batting stance in a light blue uniform is visible in the background on the left side of the card. The background behind the main portrait is a vibrant, abstract design composed of swirling lines and shapes in various shades of pink, green, and possibly purple or magenta. Above the portrait, a banner displays 'DONRUSS' and 'DIAMOND KINGS' in stylized fonts. Below the portrait, an oval-shaped nameplate contains 'BO JACKSON' in bold lettering. The card's border is a solid red color, framing the central image. The physical characteristics suggest standard baseball card dimensions, likely made from cardstock. The condition appears to be relatively good, with sharp corners and a clean surface, though minor wear along the edges or corners cannot be fully assessed without a closer, higher-resolution inspection of all sides. No significant creases, tears, or major damage are immediately discernible from the provided image. The 'error' aspect is not visually identifiable from the front of the card alone and would typically refer to a printing or textual mistake specific to this card's release, which is a known variation for this particular card. This item belongs to a specific era of sports card collecting, dating to the 'junk wax' era, yet some error cards from this period can still hold significant collector interest.
