I picked up this rookie pack today from a recent auction and now I have a matched set. Anyone else have any other basketball rookie showing packs out there?

    Gorgeous packs, I'm drooling!

    I have packs of 1986 Fleer Jordan PSA 8 RC Front and a PSA 8 Sticker RC Back. I'll scan and post tomorrow if I remember to fetch from the safe.

    The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.

    I hate to steal @rtimmer 's thunder and I'm usually not the 1-upper type but....

    BOOM! 1992 Topps Gold Shaq rookie! Before I get flooded with offers, no, it's not for sale.

    Arthur how do you know the Shaq is a gold? I have a similar pack with Shaq on the back. I’m very curious!!

    I am not an authority but I think the pack has a grade not the card on an unopened pack. Maybe for a rack the condition of the card(s) including centering might matter more. But I agree with you, where in the crap does someone find all of these?

    Work hard and you will succeed!!

    The pack is graded on the condition of the pack only. For pack openers, your chances with the cards inside should remain almost the same regardless if a pack is a PSA 7 or a PSA 10.

    Great pack. How can you tell it's the Gold version from the back?

    Yes you can see the word “Gold” in white on the back of the Shaq card.
