For all those basketball fans out there, nothing is more special than having a classic basketball card collection featuring your favorite players. A basketball player card is both a matter of pride as well as sentiment and it binds the sports fan to his or her favorite basketball player. While the general rule is to buy the basketball cards of your favorite players and enjoy collecting it, no true basketball card collection is complete without its vintage cards or historic sets. If a basketball card collection were to contain all the top player cards in their rookie years, it would be highly desired by avid basketball card collectors. However, the drawback is given the multiple companies producing basketball cards, it is not possible to have all the basketball players in a single pack and you may have to go on a hunting spree to collect all the basketball cards of your favorite players from different sources.

Twenty years ago, however, that was not the case. There was only one company, Fleer, that manufactured basketball cards. It was during this time that great champions like Michael Jordan entered the NBA along with others and dazzled basketball fans with his skills. However, before Fleer entered into the basketball card manufacturing business, Star company manufactured rookie cards of these players. Despite this, today the most sought after cards for a complete basketball card collection is the Fleer Historic Set of 1986-87 and the most sought after rookie card is the Fleer Michael Jordan rookie card. The Jordan rookie card is the most sought after basketball card for basketball fans, bar none.

Apart from Michael Jordan, this Historic Set of Fleer features other great players like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Dr. J Julius Erving and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. The Historic Set from Fleer is also a great addition to your basketball card collection because it contains other great rookies like Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Isiah Thomas, Chris Mulin among others. The near mint condition cards from this set are definitely an asset to your existing basketball card collection.
