Collector questions
What exact card is this?
This is the 1991 Fleer baseball card #561 of Bo Jackson, the plain base card as described by the card’s yellow border front (black 'BO JACKSON' nameplate, 'ROYALS • OF' lower border, and Fleer '91 logo) and the yellow-backed reverse with stats, biographical text, Royals crown logo, MLB/MLBPA logos, and the copyright line '© 1991 FLEER CORP., PHILA., 19141 / PRINTED IN U.S.A.'
Is this a special parallel, refractor, or autographed card?
No. The supplied record and visual description state there is no foil, refractor, chrome, premium glossy stock, colored parallel, die-cut, stamp, serial number, or autograph present; it is the plain base card from the 1991 Fleer product.

The observed back does include the phrase 'PRINTED IN U.S.A.', but the available authoritative checklists consulted in this record do not document a confirmed jumbo/back-print variant for #561, so that potential distinction remains unresolved in this record.
What visible features and information appear on the front and back?
Front: color action photo of Bo Jackson batting in a Royals uniform, bright yellow border, black serif 'BO JACKSON' nameplate at top, lower border text 'ROYALS • OF', and the Fleer '91 logo at the lower-right of the photo. Back: circular portrait of Jackson in a Royals cap, identity panels with card number 561 and 'BO JACKSON', Kansas City Royals crown logo, height/weight/bats/throws/birth data, a blue-and-yellow…
