The 2006-07 Fleer Basketball Buy Back Autographs have generated much discussion and debate over the last two months. The buy back cards, which are from 1986-87, 1987-88 and 1988-89 Fleer sets, were issued as random redemptions in 2006-07 Fleer. The white whale card is the signed Michael Jordan Rookie Card, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

Upper Deck released the following quantities for 17 players in the program. After much begging, however, the quantity for the Jordan card was not revealed.


The numbers below represent the total autograph quantity for each player in the entire buy back program. Some players have cards from more than one Fleer set.
