86 fleer jordan rookie

[Tradegeek]

I understand the psychological side. But I said the same thing about Mickey Mantle rookies cards 15 years ago. I couldn't believe people would pay $5,000 - $10,000 for a PSA 5. They really aren't that rare.

PSA 5s now sell for $50,000 to $75,000.

Jordan has allot of fans. And they are now starting to hit their prime as far as disposable income. I think the same thing might happen.

That said, I do agree with you. The Jordan isn't rare. It's crazy what people will pay for a nice example.

Yes, the Jordan has a huge population (2433 9's and 251 PSA 10's).

However, there are 275 current 1986 Fleer sets on the registry - 85 HOF Rookie sets and another countless number of sets where a Jordan RC is the key card.

Leaving aside the registry, Jordan is popular world wide and a great number of basketball collectors (unlike baseball) reside overseas and not in North America and will want his best card.

Factor in that along with Ali and maybe Usain Bolt he is the most popular athlete in the world, and his card will always be in demand.

Pete - Sometimes you gotta say, "WTF" and buy the card.

Not that one, and not for the current asking money, with that many available!

Anybody see these pics from the CU board of all the Jordan rookies being sold at different tables at the National? Doesn't make it seem especially rare, that's for sure.

What was the average asking prices for those?

I really don't know since I don't have the original photos. I just copied them over from the CU board.
