I'm setting a bad precedent for the first one, but I'm going sky blue instead of blue sky. When I closed my eyes, I saw the 1987 Fleer Bo Jackson that I traded for 45 bucks of store credit.
What popped in my head was the 1989 Fleer Randy Johnson error card, but that doesn't have any sky to speak of showing, and then I realized I must've merged that with his 1989 Topps card (Expos edition), which is an all blue background... so I'm going with that 1989 Topps Randy Johnson.
Haha, yep, that's what my memory recalled, but alas, Google didn't show me enough blue in the search results to think it qualified... but I sure do remember seeing a giant Marlboro Man sticking out above the outfield bleachers against a bright blue sky on many occasions at the Richmond Braves (AAA) ballpark in the early 90s.

That’s just the kind of creativity that makes these types of things sustainable…and fun! Love it!

Great choice. And, hey, the Marlboro Man appeared with blue sky behind him on occasion, so 1989 Fleer at least has that pedigree.

I'm gonna go with 1987 M&M's Gary Carter (12 of 24)
Also, I don't see how to add photos to comments on the mobile app, so here's an image link: https://images.app.goo.gl/5endpn6REXFNRTew9
