I am currently in the process of putting together a PSA 9 / 10 1986 Fleer Basketball Set with Stickers. I really would like to include a PSA 9 1986 Unopened Wax Pack with my set to cap it off. I am trying to find information as to what I can expect to pay for this graded pack, but other than one currently for sale for $500.00 I can not seem to find anything. Can anyone give me some guidance on where I can A: either find this information, or B: Give me your thoughts on what I should expect to pay. Thanks in advance!

    i saw that ended auction, it doesnt help much though as I want a PSA 9. My registry set is a PSA 9, and I want the pack to correspond with the registry set.

    Doesn't the one that sold for $500 tell you about what you'll have to pay?

    Edit: that seems to fall between a GAI 9 and a GAI 10 so it kind of makes sense...

    I used poor wording in my thread. I havent seen a PSA 9 Wax pack sell for $500. There is one currently for sale for $500.00 at this auction, but I do not know if this is a good price or not. My gut is saying this is extremely HIGH!LINK

    Ah gotcha - sorry that was probably my fault.

    I guess I can't really help then. Though I still would guess a PSA 9 would fall somewhere between a GAI 9 and a GAI 10.

    To sort of echo slantycouch most of the '86 Fleer packs I've seen have been GAI. There may not be many PSA packs graded yet, hence the premium. Wouldn't hurt to ask him if his $500 price is firm, though.

    I checked the pop., 47 have been graded psa 9 and 4 of those have been noted as having a Jordan sticker showing.

    My theory is the majority of them (30ish) were graded as part of a full box submittal and is part of a private collection, that is probably why you don't find many for sale.

    Thanks for the information guys, I will contact the seller and see if he is firm on his pack. I think it would make a nice touch to my set. ( Of course its not complete yet) so my half set!

    16 PSA 9 1986-87 Basketball Packs have sold between 12/02/2007 - 07/24/2008 for an average price of $291.52. Information from VCP. SMR books the pack at $350. $500 is too high.

    Oh wow - nice info.

    Yeah I was going to add that the number of PSA graded packs will just continue to grow. If you're unsure about price, I'd just wait it out - esp since your set is still building. No need to rush just because you saw one, you know?

    I had a PSA 9 pack and put it in my ebay store at $360. It sold about 2 months later, so you can probably find one cheaper. I would guess $325-$340 is the going rate.

    Thanks Lee, Wish you still had one, I would give you $360 immediately. $350 is what I think is a fair price.

    Glad to help!

    I got sucked into unopened material once PSA starting grading them. I joined VCP almost a year ago almost exclusively because they started recording graded pack sales. When accessing the pack information, be careful with the average sale price they list, especially with cello packs. Any "star" packs are listed with "common" packs which can throw off the average price numbers. The prices range from $233 - $336.

    I think Lee has good numbers with his $325 - $340 as the last pack sold for the $336 and the previous 2 at $300. For store inventory, $360 is certainly a good price.
