That's a very good explanation for the 1986 Fleer price rise (I won't call it a RC since there was a licensed card the year before, just like the Mantle), but does not explain why prices are surging on other early Jordans and slightly later Jordan inserts, Pippen and Rodman RCs, and a host of other basketball rookies and inserts. I don't have a Fleer card and I've watched all of my other Jordan cards rise. If this keeps up much longer and at the same rate I will probably take some profits.
