The third year Jordan Fleer card is definitely overpriced and overhyped.

That I agree with. It's because there hadn't been a major mass produced NBA set for a number of years prior to the 86 Fleer, so it became a big deal. But it's as if collectors just pretend that the Star sets don't exist. I recall back when Beckett began putting out the basketball guide in the early 90s that the Star sets were always listed. So I'm not sure why that brand has become so forgotten nowadays. But yeah, multiple years of Jordans came out in Star before that 86 Fleer set.

In Mantle's case though the rookie card is cheaper. The '84 Star Jordan sells for at least twice what the '86 Fleer goes for in the same condition.

I know about the discrepancy between the 52 and 51, but didnt realize it was the same with the Jordans. Interesting. Well, based on rarity and the fact that it's a true rookie, I think the Star should be worth more. It's just that the 86 Fleer has become the iconic card by comparison, didnt realize it was worth less.
