1986 FLEER BASKETBALL MICHAEL JORDAN ROOKIE #57 BGS 9.5 GEM MINT 10 CENTERING!!!

Description: In 1986, Fleer inked a deal with the NBA to manufacture basketball cards. They had been out of the basketball card business since 1961 when they created one of the industry’s most iconic sets. They did not disappoint upon their return. In 1986, collectors could buy Fleer basketball packs for about 50 cents per pack. Many modern collectors might not know that basketball cards were wildly unpopular in the 80s. As Michael Jordan’s career unfolded, he generated interest in the set, which featured this wildly attractive card that perfectly captured one of his signature moves with his tongue out in full force. The popularity of the card might be different if it only included a head shot. But Fleer had the vision to use an action shot of the NCAA champion out of UNC, although nobody predicted the height of his success in the NBA. The card is buoyed by the fact that other companies like Topps did not manufacture basketball cards in ‘86 since they were so unpopular. The NBA has since become global and Jordan became its biggest star. Interest in this card will likely never wane. This week’s auction offers fans a chance to own a sensational BGS 9.5. It earned the PWCC-A (Above Average—Top 30%) Eye Appeal designation for its remarkable preservation. 10 CENTERING!!!!!!!!
