Being this was the height of The Junk Wax Era, copies of this card aren't exactly scarce; however it has remained one of the most collected Bo Jackson cards of the era due to its cultural significance. (If you're a Gen-X kid, you remember.) The white borders generally make the card easier to grade than full‑bleed designs, but centering issues and minor chipping still limit the number of high‑grade examples.

	~~The card is widely considered the signature Bo Jackson base card of The Junk Wax Era and remains the most recognizable card in the 1990 Score set~~.
