I am never sure how I discover or even find cards that I wasn't particularly seeking out for my collection.
They just find me.
I am not sure if today's card is considered to be his rookie card or not, but I grabbed it just in case.
This is a 1984 Michael Jackson Name A Recent Horror Film Directed card.
The card features the King Of Pop on the front.
And the back of the card features a question, the name of the set with Name a Recent Horror Film Directed By, and an answer on the bottom. I had no idea he directed An American Werewolf In London. I remember watching that movie many times when I was younger.
Thoughts on my latest addition welcomed in comments.
I must also mention that I picked up this unique card on Burbank Sportcards Marketplace for less than $1.

In case it's not clear, Michael Jackson didn't direct An American Werewolf in London. It was directed by John Landis, who also directed the Thriller video--hence "Thriller's Director".
ReplyDeleteFun fact: Landis likes to drop the phrase "See You Next Wednesday" into his films as a running gag. In the Thriller video it's in the dialogue of the movie Michael and his date (Playboy playmate Ola Ray) are watching. I may know a little too much Michael Jackson trivia.
The card is part of the 1984 Topps Michael Jackson card set.
ReplyDeleteIf Michael does have a "rookie" card, I'm guessing that it would be in the form of one of those early 70's Jackson 5 cards.
