1987-88 NBA Fleer Basketball Complete Set

Featuring a much lower print run than the previous year, 1987-88 Fleer Basketball is also one of the smaller basketball sets with 132 base cards. While the base design has not aged especially well, something about the simple look and gray color scheme seems to work and is a considerable design change from the previous year.

The top options from the set are the many Hall of Fame base cards, especially Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, and most notably, Michael Jordan. The Larry Bird card has proven difficult to locate in high grade, adding to the interest. While the key rookies are not quite household names, there is still some quality, including Brad Daughtery, A.C. Green, Ron Harper, Detlef Schrempf and Otis Thorpe, among others.
