86-87 Fleer Basketball Wax Boxes & Cases

86-87 Fleer Basketball Wax Boxes & Cases

It is almost hard to believe that only 32 years ago you could buy a box of basketball cards for less than $15 and today it be worth anywhere from $75,000 - $100,000 dollars. To make it worse they had a hard time pushing the cards when they were released. Now days the number of known boxes of 86-87 fleer is likely less than 30 boxes. When it comes to full cases as of right now none are none to exist.

There are a few cases probably put up, or in grandpas attic somewhere just waiting to be discovered. Since  the year 1995 there have only been 5 know cases available for purchase. 2 of them owned by 1 card shop and 3 of them by another shop. Several years back one of the best and brightest in the card business Mark Murphy had a devastating fore that destroyed his collection and stock.It is likely that a lot of 86-87 fleer product went up too.


To put it perspective take the T206 Honus Wagner that is the crown jewell of any card in any sport.There are a estimated 30 boxes of 86-87 fleer left on the market, and no cases known on it either. The Honus Wagner card is estimated to have only 50-200 still in existence and can bring in a million dollars if graded good. If a case of 86-87 fleer popped up it would go deep into 7 figures on a price tag. A good estimate would be around $4 million dollars.That goes to show how powerful the 86-87 fleer product is to sale a case of boxes for a couple million more than a Honus Wagner.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... You can still buy wax packs from this year, but expect to pay well over $2,000 for a genuine un-searched wax pack. It is still a good invesment because everyday as a pack here and there gets opened it makes the other packs still unopened just that much more scare.

  1. Hello, I have some questions for the author of this post and would love to talk via email. I'm interested to know about 1986-1987 fleer basketball cases from the late 90s and if they were sold, and about your estimate for one selling for $4 million if it were to surface today.
