These are tough to find in this great condition. Centering, surface, and wax stains make these hard to gem. I bought two of these raw 20 years ago. Both got PSA 9’s and I gifted one to my brother. I still have mine. He can’t find the one I gave him (tragic!). At least I have this one. Don’t think I’ll ever have the finances to upgrade to a PSA 10 so happy to have this one!

I didn’t get these recently. Bought the Jordan raw back in 2006 when I graduated college (go blue) and graded myself back in 2007 or 2008 when BGS was king. Think I got the Barkley raw around 2011 and graded a couple years ago. You don’t wanna know how much I paid for them lol, but pretty decent investments id say. Probably gonna send off my 86 Akeem and Isiah to PSA this year. I have the set minus 2 cards, but I refuse to buy a Karl Malone.

Not a lot needs to be said here. This is one that I pulled from a pack back in 1987. For that reason, it will always be in my collection. I have little reason to try to upgrade it as I’d prefer to keep the one I pulled back in the day!

A bid is in on a Kareem, but I saw this Lewis Lloyd while looking and grabbed it today…finally starting my 1986 Fleer PC. Let the fun begin!
Open to any ‘86 discussions/resources/groups. Looking forward to it!

Charles Barkley 1986-87 Fleer rookie autograph. Charles signs, not a ton, but enough. Still, I don’t see a lot of the Round Mound of Rebound for sale all that much. Clearly one of the most influential sets of all time, I love this rookie auto and early signature by him. I’ve toyed around with going to try to make the entire set as I have about 30 big ones already (no Jordan). But in the end, it’s all too expensive of an endeavor to take on!
