1986-87 FLEER BASKETBALL

When Topps left the hoops game after 1981-82, there was a void in the market. STAR came in and produced basketball sets as the only company with a license to print NBA cards. However, Star's cards came with low print runs that make the cards not readily available and rather than selling wax packs, the company sold cards in team bags. You can read about the STAR cards here from our sister company, Just Collect.

Fleer came back on the scene in 1986 and released a 132-card set. Cards were sold in wax packs again for about 40 cents per pack with 12 cards per pack + 1 sticker, and 36 packs per box. Travel back to 1986 when you had Zelda paused on your Nintendo or you turned down MTV as they played Aerosmith and Run DMC for the eight time that day (you still rocked out each time, though), because your parents brought you home a pack of Fleer cards they found at at the gas station as a little surprise for you. You tore into the wax, at the delicious (was it, though?) gum and put your eyes on your very first Michael Jordan card.

Until that '86 Fleer card, Michael Jordan didn't have a licensed, base-set issued rookie. You and I consider the Fleer MJ his true and most-desired rookie card, and with the NBA season in full swing, we had to offer you a chance to pull this iconic card in our new set break. Come party like it's 1986 again!
