It’s one of the most iconic sports card sets of all-time. And now a sealed case of 1986-87 Fleer Basketball has the price to show just how popular it has become. It sold for $1,789,717 through Collect Auctions on August 6.
The winning bidder was Thomas Fish, owner of Blowout Cards, who announced he was bidding on someone else’s behalf.
Plenty of potential Michael Jordan Rookie Cards has been sitting in the dark inside the case for almost 35 years. Inside are 12 boxes each with 36 packs. Each pack has 12 cards plus one sticker.
