I just bought a decent 86-87 Fleer Basketball set and was wondering what the general consensus around here is as to the value of these? The cards are all clean NRMT or better centering is off a little bit but very presentable. I paid $450.00. Was that too much? I used to want this set soo bad and just got back into collecting. Hopefully I didn't do too badly.

    This set included a Jordan?

    Yes there is a Jordan rookie as well as many other good rookies. I would say that the Jordan is likely ex-mt or probably NRMT while many others are NM-MT or better. The sticker set was not included. My nephew is supposed to pick them up tomorrow and I will post some pics and more details then. I will be sending the Jordan ROOKIE in to PSA for grading. It is REAL image. Jim

    Jim,
    I own 7 complete 86 fleer sets and always watch their selling prices on eBay. Almost always, these sets are sold w/out the Jordan rookie. For the set w/o the Jordan rookie, a NM set will sell for between $275-350 (minus the sticker set). If the set you bought included a NM Jordan rookie (which sell for around $400 on eBay), you got a very good deal. However, hopefully the deal wasn't too "good". Was the Jordan graded? If not, hopefully you are positive it is authentic, because I would never buy an ungraded Jordan unless it was from a reputable seller. Let me know if you need help judging the Jordan authenticity.

    Ha, during my response, it looks like a couple of my questions were answered. If the Jordan is authentic and in EX-MT to NM, congrats, you got a good deal. Where did you purchase it?

    Thanks alot I have seen many fake Jordan rookies BITD and am very confident that this one is legit. When I get the cards I will post some scans though just to bee 100% certain. Thanks for the offer of help and I will expect your input when I post the pics. Thanks again! Jim

    once again I have to ask. Why are people spending almost $300 for NM sets w/o Jordan (when those cards wouldn't grade higher than 8 at best) while singles graded PSA 9 MINT continue to plummet?

    It's always nice to pick up 86 Fleer 9's for less than the grading fee....

    Here are the Jordan pics. Probably in the worst condition of all the cards but very presentable IMHO.

    The Jordan looks nice, although the dog-ear on the lower left would have me worried that it might be trimmed.
  • hutchheavenhutchheaven Posts: 71
    The guy that I got them from had them since he was a kid. Hope it wasn't trimmed?

    If that Jordan is the worst card of the lot, You got a very good deal. Nice pick-up.
