The 1986-87 Fleer basketball set is iconic. Mostly because no major brand had produced NBA trading cards for quite some time, there are an abundance of rookies in the set. Clearly, the most famous card in the set is the iconic Michael Jordan rookie card however the set also contain rookie cards of Isaiah Thomas, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde, Drexler, Dominique, Wilkins, Chris Mullen, Danny Ange, and many others. Thomas was a national championship-winning point guard for my Indiana Hoosiers and went on to have a Hall of Fame career has the starting point guard for the Pistons.

For all the challenges in card production, I will give credit when credit is due! The Flawless brand may be my favorite product from Panini. The dual patch autographs of the Flawless Greats in all sports looks fantastic! The dual patch windows and color in-game photograph on a simple white stock gives a clean and bold look. The dual patches frame the blue, clear autographs perfectly. The choice of simple blue sharpie tends not to streak and sticks out on the white background. Additionally, in this card specifically, the blue sharpie, and the red foiling on this ruby version really makes the red white and blue from the uniform pop out. It may be a perfectly designed card!

The most well recognized and loved basketball set of all time is likely the 1986-87 Fleer. Containing rookie cards, including Michael Jordan, the set restarted the basketball card collecting craze. Im trying to get all the major rookie autographs of this set. This is one of Isiah Thomas autograph. I thought this had a good chance of PSA 7 or 8 but still pretty happy to have this one. Thomas won a national championship with the Indiana Hoosiers before leading the bad boy Detroit Pistons to two more titles in his NBA career. His in the NBA Hall of Fame and often forgotten compared to the other big stars in the 80s and 90s.

Big Pistons fan but I’m just not sure if I want to pc Cade. I’m more Bad Boys era guy.
