86-87 Fleer Guide - Your complete resource for the holy grail of basketball cards

It is hard to believe that at one time you could buy this box of 86-87 Fleer Basketball Cards for around $15 a box. In fact Fleer actually had a hard time selling the product. Move ahead to the early when the sportscard business started booming that is when 86-87 fleer started to gain a lot of popularity.

You could purchase packs of 86-87 Fleer in the early 1990s for $50 - $100 per pack. Now you will be hard pressed to find a pack under $500 with graded packs fetching over $1,000 each.

The way that Fleer did the card distribution sequencing when they made the product pretty much guarantees you 3-4 complete sets per box which also means you will on average pull the following gems that you will only find Rookie cards of:

Even the sticker set from the 86-87 Fleer Basketball set is fetching thousands of dollars for graded versions of the cards which includes pretty much the biggest names of all time in basketball history.
