Is there a more iconic basketball card than the 1986-87 Fleer Jordan rookie?
The 1986-87 Fleer set was loaded with rookie cards of future Hall of Famers, due in large part to the fact that there were no traditional basketball card sets released during the 1982-83, 1983-84, 1984-85 and 1985-86 seasons.
That meant anyone who would have had a rookie card during that span saw their rookie pushed to the 1986-87 set, and the result was an absolutely loaded checklist.
Other future Hall of Famer rookies on the checklist include Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone, Isiah Thomas, Dominique Wilkins, Chris Mullin, James Worthy, Joe Dumars and Ralph Sampson.
