Original unopened wax pack of 1986-1987 Fleer basketball cards, highlighted by a Michael Jordan rookie card (#57) on top and a Magic Johnson sticker on the back. This set marks the first basketball set produced by Fleer since 1961. Fleer stopped producing basketball cards after 1961, and powerhouse competitor Topps ruled the basketball-card market from the late 1960s until the early 1980s. This set is loaded with superstars and rookie cards of future Hall of Famers, highlighted by the rookie card of Jordan. Given the meteoric rise of high-grade rookie cards recently, including the incredible $738,000 public auction sale of a GEM MINT 10 Fleer Jordan in 2021, it is hard not to consider the increased value prospects of a completely original unopened wax pack of this classic issue. Crisp, clean unopened wax pack in outstanding condition. The pack displays a beautiful full-color wrapper, tight seal, no staining, and original gloss. This is an exceptional high-grade unopened pack of 1986-1987 Fleer, one of the most popular of all basketball issues. Reserve $10,000.
