The boxes inside come with the added appeal and provenance that comes with their coming from a sealed case. It takes away the possibility of packs being tampered with or switched out.
1986-87 Fleer Basketball is a landmark release, not just for the Jordan but Rookie Cards of several other Hall of Famers like Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler and Dominique Wilkins. There’s also the Michael Jordan sticker.
