Apparently, a couple of long buried brain cells that were imprinted with those two names and images suddenly fired and I had a deja vu recall of pulling those specific cards from a pack thirty years earlier.
I opened plenty of packs from the early-mid '80s as a kid (both baseball and football), but I don't remember pulling any specific cards. But I do remember seeing specific cards when I was sorting them, or what I still needed.

And I bet there were plenty of '86 Fleer basketball packs at the mall back then. Even though people were using those cards for wallpaper at the time, I can't remember if I ever bought any, and I didn't have a single one of them in my stored away stuff from those days
