“Early” Basketball Card Prices In 1992

This advertisement from Trading Cards magazine in February 1992 is pretty darn interesting for its listing of “older” Fleer and Topps basketball sets. What item would you most like to time travel back for?

When looking at this, I had to step back from the fact that the company behind this ad is called National Sportscard “Investments” and that 1989 Fleer in 1992 was considered “older.” That is three years, but 1961 Fleer basketball would be an “older” set to me.

Anywho, here are some “nostalgic” prices that stood out:

  • 1986 Fleer basketball set w/ stickers for $799.95
  • 1986 Fleer basketball Michael Jordan Mint card for $399.95
  • 1980/81 Topps basketball wax pack for $24.95
  • 1985/86 Star basketball Michael Jordan $1,495

Happy collecting!
