Presented is a high-grade complete set of Fleer's "comeback" issue. This set marks the first basketball set produced by Fleer since 1961. Fleer stopped producing basketball cards after 1961 while their powerhouse competitor Topps continued to rule the basketball-card market through the late 1960s until the mid-1980s. This set is loaded with superstars and rookie cards of future Hall of Famers, highlighted with the rookie card of Michael Jordan, a modern classic. This set exhibits bright colors, sharp corners, and an overall pack-fresh quality. The Michael Jordan rookie card has been graded NM 7 by PSA. Keys: # 1 Jabbar (Nr/Mt), 7 Barkley (Nr/Mt-Mt), 9 Bird (Nr/Mt-Mt), 26 Drexler (Nr/Mt-Mt), 27 Dumars (Nr/Mt-Mt), 31 Erving (Nr/Mt-Mt), 32 Ewing (Nr/Mt-Mt), 53 Magic (Nr/Mt-Mt), 57 Jordan (PSA NM 7), 68 K.
