1986 Fleer #57 Michael Jordan Rookie SGC 8.5 NM-MT+
HIS AIRNESS!!! When Michael Jordan entered the fray of basketball elites in the 1980s, Kareem, Magic, Dr. J and Bird, among many others, ably carried the success of the NBA on their shoulders but were also the inspiration of a new generation of wide-eyed hoopsters who emulated those heroes. The 1986 Fleer Basketball set was jam-packed with rookie talent, but none were/are more sought-after than MJ himself. This 1986 Fleer #57 Michael Jordan Rookie SGC 8.5 NM-MT+ is one of the most coveted basketball issues EVER. All of the technical qualities associated with this cardboard gem are consistent with a NM-MT+ assessment, including the superior centering amidst four flaw-free borders, rich and bright hues, crystal-clear clarity, razor-sharp corners and edging, and complete absence of any surface flaws. Most enthusiasts would agree that no post-1970s cardboard issue could possibly compete with the highly coveted 1986 Fleer Jordan rookie subject as it stands atop its inferior cardboard peers!
