Anyone who stumbles across this blog should already know this, but 1986-87 Fleer was certainly the best basketball set ever made. It was really the perfect storm: take all the rookies over the past four or so years, put them into one set, limit the number of players that go into the set to a paltry 132, so the set is easy to build, and make a relatively decent-looking set. People went nuts, and with good reason. I myself have a small handful of cards from this set, and I certainly wouldn't be opposed to building it at some point. This is one of the 'commons' from the set. I put 'common' in quotes since I didn't know Marques Johnson was as good of a player as he was, and apparently, the basketball card market either doesn't know or doesn't care. (Probably some of both.) In fact, Marques was a five-time All-Star and was a nasty, athletic forward. Some of the Youtube videos of this guy are quite something. He could easily be in the Hall of Fame.
Great find for a nickel. I didn't even pay a dime for this one.
