1988-89 Fleer Basketball might not have the pedigree of the its 1986-87 Fleer cousin, but it still has one of the best rookie lineups in the history of modern sports cards. Led by some of the first cards from a handful of Hall of Famers, the small set packs a lot of punch.

John Stockton, Scottie Pippen, Reggie Miller, Dennis Rodman, Mark Jackson and John Salley are a few of the key rookie cards residing in 1988-89 Fleer Basketball. The third-year Michael Jordan card also remains popular with collectors.

1988-89 Fleer Basketball Set Details

In total, the base set has 132 cards. Considering its loaded rookie checklist, prices are still reasonable. By the latter part of the 1980s, print runs for all trading cards were rising fast. This has kept the supply in check. Because of these somewhat soft prices, collectors looking for an investment may want to consider cards graded 9.5 or 10 by PSA or BGS as there is less risk involved than other high-end sets.

Unfortunately, the 1988-89 Fleer Basketball design doesn't stand up very well today. Borders are dark in the middle, gradually getting lighter at the top and bottom. The inner frame is colored with rounded corners. The has the player's name in an art deco font alongside the bubbly Fleer logo. The two do not go well together. Even more fonts are used at the bottom of the card for the team and position.
