Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Exceptionally crisp, high-grade rookie card of Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player ever. This is one of the premier modern-day basketball cards. The 1986-1987 Fleer basketball issue is extremely condition-sensitive due to its blue flush-to-the-border design. The offered example appears pack-fresh with four strong corners, bright colors, a flawless image, and clean borders. Michael Jordan's Fleer rookie card is part of PSA's Top 250 Sportscards in the Hobby set, based on the book Collecting Sports Legends: The Ultimate Hobby Guide, by Joe Orlando, which selects the most significant cards from all the different sports. Examples of premier rookie cards, such as this, in extreme high grades have realized especially strong prices recently, including the incredible $738,000 public auction sale of a GEM MINT 10 Fleer Jordan recently. The Fleer Jordan card is one of the cards that is recognizable to collectors of all ages, and as such, is one of the great cardboard collectibles in our hobby. Reserve $10.
