1991-1992 Fleer Basketball Pack

1991-1992 Fleer Basketball:  I love picking up older packs of basketball cards but these have tripled in price over the last year.  I finally pulled the trigger on a lot of packs from the era that included this one.  This pack was actual wax and my immediate thought was it might have been tampered with when I saw it wasn't sealed.  The MJ allayed any fears I might have.  This card doesn't pay for the pack but it's a great pull. 
A couple more hall of famers to show off.  This design is always one I want to like but I really don't.  Too much of the card is wasted on the left.  If they'd made that smaller it might be a winner in my book.
This was a coach hot pack with seven of the 14 cards coming from the coaching ranks.  I won't complain considering my pull of players.  
Magic Johnson making an appearance as an extra on a few cards. It was fun to open this pack.  Busting wax really is a joy of mine and being a huge basketball fan these older packs are just too much fun.  We'll end it here with Hakeem and his greatness. 



BREAKDOWN:
14 – Total Cards
7 – Coach
1 – All-Star

  1. That was a great set... loved pre lockout Fleer. I believe the John Starks card from this set was the last Fleer base card I needed to complete the run from 87-88 through 95-96, and I finally got it via trade a couple of years ago.

    1. I miss Fleer basketball. Glad you were able to complete the set. I know I've had the chance to pick up the entire set over the years but I've passed.

  2. I picked up a box of loose cards from this set for $5 at a garage sale last summer. I did not pull the Jordan base but did pull the Jordan All Star card. Plus there were some cards of some of my early 1990s players that I collect such as Bird, McHale, Stockton.

    1. For $5 I call that a win. Half the fun is just going through and seeing the old players. PC guys like Hakeem in this pack for me make it that much more fun.

  3. Nice Jordan. I opened some of this stuff back in 1991... but most of my money went to Upper Deck basketball.

    1. I was opening any basketball I could find until about 1991. Life got busy and the hobby took a back seat. Loved Upper Deck basketball though and still enjoy grabbing it when I can.

  4. Of the 10 cards shown, you got six HOFer's. I think that qualifies for a "solid pack" status.

    1. So true! I'd never complain about this pull.
