What are the toughest commons to get 9's (and 10's of course) on in 1986 Fleer basketball? And what do they run in PSA 9?
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    I would say that there are not any really tough 9s...there are many out there. Johnny Moore is probably the toughest common 10.

    It seems that most of the cards on the right side of the sheet are tougher to find centered and sharp. So that would be card # 11, 22, 33, etc.....

    This is correct. I haven't looked at a pop report in about a year, but I believe #66 Maurice Lucas is still the toughest card in the set.

    The Jordan RC is actually one of the easiest to find well centered. Anyone with $1200 can buy a PSA 9 Jordan whenever they want, but try finding a #66 PSA 9 on Ebay.

    Anyone with $1200 can buy a PSA 9 Jordan whenever they want.

    Make that about $7000+ these days.

    no kidding.........I didn't see that one coming! I really didn't think the demand would rise.

    I was one of those people and then sold it later in the year to buy more wrestling cards. I sure wish I had just kept the Jordan and used my own cash to buy the other cards.

    Johnny Moore. That card is near impossible to find centered.
