About this release.

Fleer returned to basketball in 1986-87 with a 132-card set that came with a sticker in each pack, and the late-1980s Fleer sets hold the rookie cards of many stars of that era.

This page lists 6 cataloged cards from the 1986 Fleer Basketball release: Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, Julius Erving, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon. 3 carry a rookie label. The full release has more cards than this partial checklist.

Fleer cards of this period show wear and miscuts clearly, and the most famous ones have been counterfeited, so compare the printing and the card back with a known example.

Keep the release identity intact.

Year, set name and format define this group. A parallel, insert, reprint, regional release or sticker can require a separate identity even when the player and number match. Review the entry notes and original source before treating a copy as a checklist match.
