Addendum: The original description in the catalog has been updated. The plastic wrapping on the bottom panel is no longer split. The case was sent back to BBCE to be rewrapped (a small hole to the plastic wrapping was reinforced with clear tape by BBCE; mentioned for accuracy). Complete, original 1988-1989 Fleer basketball wax case containing twelve boxes with 36 packs per box. With each pack containing twelve cards and one sticker, the case represents a total of 5,184 cards and 432 stickers. This case comes shrink-wrapped by Baseball Card Exchange (owned by Steve Hart, the foremost expert on unopened material). The "factory-sealed" distinction is particularly important and makes the offered case even more impressive. The 1988-1989 Fleer set includes the rookie cards of Hall of Famers Reggie Miller, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and John Stockton, as well as cards of several other Hall of Famers, including Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Patrick Ewing. While it is impossible to provide guarantees with reference to grading of unopened material, it would be hard to imagine that this case does not include a generous supply of Mint 9s and Gem Mint 10s of every player in the set. Original factory seals intact with very minor outer box wear. A tremendous opportunity to acquire this extraordinary factory-sealed wax box case from the popular 1988-1989 Fleer basketball issue. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Reserve $20,000.
