Complete, original 1987-1988 Fleer basketball wax case containing 12 boxes with 36 packs per box. With each pack containing 12 cards and one sticker, the case represents a total of 5,184 cards and 180 stickers. This case comes shrink-wrapped by Baseball Card Exchange (owned by Steve Hart, the foremost expert on unopened material). Please note the case, which was presented for authentication factory-sealed from Fleer, has been opened and verified by Baseball Card Exchange (as is their new policy) and is noted as such on their authentication label. Each box inside comes individually shrink-wrapped by BBCE and is noted to have originated from a sealed case (FASC designation on label). The "factory sealed" distinction is particularly important and makes the offered case even more impressive. The 1987-1988 Fleer set includes the cards of Hall of Famers Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Charles Barkley, as well as rookie cards of Brad Daugherty and Detlef Schrempf. While it is impossible to provide guarantees with reference to grading of unopened material, there is the real possibility that within this box are Gem Mint cards. The original outer case displays light wear. A tremendous opportunity to acquire this extraordinary factory-sealed wax box case from the popular 1987-1988 Fleer basketball issue. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
