Why this card is awesome: Because it's the second Future Stars card (Kevin Elster was the first) but a future star Campbell was not.
Cool stat: HOFers hit Campbell well, especially Robin Yount, to the tune of 7 RBI in 10 ABs.

That is some year he had in '87 at Calgary! I can see why Topps gave him a Future Stars salute.
Honestly, this is the first time I have ever seen this card. Plus I thought Mike Campbell was guitarist for the Heartbreakers. Hmmm.
Funny...when I made this post, I was also reminded of Campbell from the Heartbreakers. (That's Tom Petty's band.)
It's actually the 3rd Future Stars card in the set (you forgot Leiter #18). I just did a post about the 1988 Future Stars. Not the best choices.
I stand corrected....

I have to say...I think they were great choices. Elster, Leiter, and Lind all had good major league careers. And I have a soft spot for Joey Meyer because I saw him crush a mammoth homer in a minor league game in Denver (when the Brewers' AAA team played there.)
