290828 World Series 1989 POSTER ONLY ...NO CONFIRMED NPC
While this poster is listed in the 1989 catalog, we have never seen the poster card (NPC). It is bookended by a type 2 and a type 3. Below is a pic of the poster.
Note added 02/2021: this is NOT Mark Allen, according to reports it was shot somewhere close to Great Sand Dunes National
Park and the cyclist is a guy from New Zealand (no one famous). This was
shot for a cycling catalog (Nike Echelon). "We picked up 3 NZ
cyclists that were training in Boulder and were planning on shooting
in Garden of the Gods, but the weather got bad so started traveling south. We
ended up shooting in Bandelier National Park in New Mexico"
290830 Do You Know (Spike Lee) 1989
Mars Blackmon is a character in the film She's Gotta Have It (1986), played by the film's writer/director, Spike Lee. In the film, he is a "Brooklyn-loving" fan of the New York Knicks, sports, and Air Jordans (the basketball shoes worn by Michael Jordan). This led to late 1980s and early 1990s appearances in Nike Air Jordan commercials alongside Jordan. (Wikapedia)

Womens softball poster.
290835 Mr. Hockey and the Great One (Howe and Gretzky) 1990
“Mr. Hockey”, Gordie Howe and “The Great One”, Wayne Gretzky, in uniform, together on the ice in a classic pose. Nike’s use of the image was a problem. "This poster was discontinued and recalled by Nike soon after publication in 1990, due to a licensing issue with the picture. It seems the photo was part of a private shoot done for Coca-Cola and was not supposed to be released for any other use outside of Coke advertising. Apparently, the lawyers got to Nike, and the poster had to be discontinued and withdrawn from the market."
