How much are 1990 fleer basketball cards worth

25 Most Valuable 1990 Fleer Basketball Cards

More...

While 1990 Fleer basketball cards have not held up as well over time as some of the other Fleer sets, they do remain some of the most recognizable basketball cards of the "junk era".

For years during the 1980s, there were hardly any basketball cards to collect whatsoever...

Topps bowed out of the hobby after 1981, Star released a few sets later on and Fleer didn't join the market until 1986.

However, by 1990, the basketball card hobby was clearly back on the map as kids everywhere were ripping through packs in hopes of pulling a Michael Jordan.

What this set may lack in terms of overall value, it certainly makes up in nostalgia.

And in this guide, we look at the 11 most valuable the set has to offer.

Let's get started!

I do want to be 100% clear that most of the cards in this set sadly have no value these days.

Like the 1990 Hoops and SkyBox sets, there were just so many of these cards printed.

And to have any value at all, the cards on this list will need to be graded in PSA 10 gem mint condition...meaning they're nearly flawless.

Now that we've got that out of the way, let's take a look at the list:

1990 Fleer #26 Michael Jordan

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $300

It should come as no surprise that Michael Jordan's 1990 Fleer basketball card comes in at the top spot as his cards are always in high demand with collectors.

And since the debut of "The Last Dance" documentary, all of his cards have soared in value.

The 1990 -1991 season was as remarkable as any for Jordan individually as he'd lead the league in scoring, be named an All-Star, be selected to the All-NBA and All-Defensive teams as well as being named league MVP.

He and the Bulls also dropped the Los Angeles Lakers 4-1 to pick up his first NBA title after struggling for years to get past the Detroit Pistons and into the finals.

I've always loved the look and feel of this card as it captures Jordan up close doing what he did best: throwing down a slam dunk on a breakaway drive.

Scottie Pippen in the background also adds a nice touch.

1990 Fleer #8 Larry Bird

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $55

Unlike Kemp, Larry Bird wasn't known for his ability to throw down monster dunks but he was every bit as exciting to watch.

His tenacity and hustle were nearly unmatched.

As one of the fiercest competitors to ever play the game, Bird used his above-average shooting, passing and rebounding skills to help lead the Celtics to three NBA titles over his career.

There are other Larry Bird cards worth more than this one but I've always loved the action shot on this card of him shooting a jumper over his career rival, Magic Johnson.

1990 Fleer #93 Magic Johnson

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $55

Speaking of Magic Johnson, Fleer did a fantastic job of capturing him in action on this card not so much because of what is going on but what you could imagine might be underway.

I'd like to think he's in the middle of going across the lane for one of his signature "baby sky hook" shots that were nearly impossible to defend.

Of anyone besides Jordan on this list, Magic Johnson was probably the most exciting as you never knew what his next move was going to be.

His incredible floor vision, court awareness and overall basketball wizardry allowed him to make some of the most thrilling plays.

He and Bird share a rookie card that has rightfully earned its place as one of the hobby's most expensive basketball cards of all-time.

1990 Fleer #139 Charles Barkley

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $50

Barkley's 1990 Fleer issue was one of the few cards to picture him with any amount of hair whatsoever.

His personality is as big as his basketball legacy, for which he is known as being one of the greatest power forwards to ever set foot on the hardwood.

He possessed incredible shoot ability for a power forward but was also known as a big-time rebounder who could take the ball coast to coast.

The former MVP and 11-time All-Star was arguably one of the most deserving players who never did quite when an NBA title.

1990 Fleer #178 Shawn Kemp Rookie Card

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $45

In the early to mid 1990s, there were few players as exciting to watch as Shawn Kemp.

I remember being amazed as a kid when I heard stories of him being able to grab a quarter off the top of the backboard.

The guy could absolutely jump through the roof and his vertical leaping ability is on full display on his 1990 Fleer card.

Kemp was a dominant power forward in the 1990s and his ability to score and rebound routinely wreaked havoc on opposing teams night in and night out.

1990 Fleer #6 Dominique Wilkins

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $40

1990 Fleer #30 Scottie Pippen

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $35

Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan formed the greatest basketball duo that we'll likely ever see.

Like Jordan, Pippen could score, rebound, pass and play lockdown defense.

They were the NBA's Batman and Robin and would win 6 NBA championships together...and they very well could have won more had their winning streak not been sidetracked by Jordan's retirement.

The Bulls logo, red-colored key nameplate at the bottom and Pippen's bright red jersey really make this card pop to give it strong eye appeal.

Pippen's cards have also taken off since "The Last Dance" documentary went on air.

1990 Fleer #59 Dennis Rodman

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $35

1990 Fleer #63 Tim Hardaway Rookie Card

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $35

If there was one signature move that I remember kids trying to replicate on the basketball court in the early 1990s it was definitely Tim Hardaway's "killer crossover".

The lightning quick move allowed Hardaway to create just enough separation against opposing defenders to turn him into an elite scorer and passer.

It also paved the way for future NBA stars like Allen Iverson to implement similar moves into their offensive arsenals although Iverson and Hardaway don't necessarily see eye to eye on who did it better.

Regardless, Hardaway goes down in history as a lighting quick player who constantly attacked the bucket, something Fleer captured nicely on his rookie card.

1990 Fleer #73 Hakeem Olajuwon

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $35

If you were to make the argument that Hakeem Olajuwon were the greatest center to ever play in the NBA, you probably wouldn't get too much pushback.

While it's impossible to say for sure (as those arguments go), there is no question that Olajuwon was an unstoppable force on both sides of the ball.

If he wasn't reigning jumpers over you with his lanky frame and offensive quickness, he was pulling down rebound after rebound or blocking the ball on defense.

And he did so with finesse that was unheard of for guys his size. ..

I'll never forget how he got the best of Shaquille O'Neal during the 1995 NBA Finals although you could argue O'Neal wasn't quite yet in his prime.

1990 Fleer #78 Reggie Miller

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $35

1990 Fleer #3 Moses Malone

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $30

1990 Fleer #125 Patrick Ewing

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $30

1990 Fleer #172 David Robinson

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $30

The 1989 Hoops David Robinson rookie card was one of the hobby's most-coveted basketball cards during the early 90s.

And this second-year card was also hot at the time...

Because of his dominating play at Annapolis, there was so much hype surrounding the legendary big man upon entering the NBA.

And he definitely didn't disappoint...the 10-time All-Star, 2-time NBA champ and 1-time MVP easily goes down in history as one of the game's greatest centers.

This card perfectly captures Robinson throwing down one of his two-handed slams, almost making it look easy.

1990 Fleer #188 Karl Malone

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $30

Like Barkley, Malone was a guy who was clearly good enough to be an NBA champion but sadly never won one.

That's what happens when Michael Jordan is playing in the league during your prime years.

Malone was an incredible power forward who was extremely effective on both offense and defense as he used his strong frame to his advantage night in and night out.

To prove it, Malone ended up at number 2 on the all-time scoring list and number 7 on the all-time rebounds list.

1990 Fleer #189 John Stockton

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $30

1990 Fleer #61 Isiah Thomas

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $25

1990 Fleer #66 Chris Mullin

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $25

1990 Fleer #91 Vlade Divac Rookie Card

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $25

Hall of Famer Vlade Divac left a legacy as one of the first European players to have a major impact in the NBA, paving the way for many more fantastic European players to come.

Known for his passing skills that weren't common at the center position, he turned in several solid seasons, most notably with the Lakers and Kings.

Somewhat surprisingly, he was elected to only one All-Star game over his career but I guess it makes sense considering Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson routinely represented the Western Conference at center during that time.

One of the things that always sticks out in my memory was how Divac was able to play at such a high level while being a heavy cigarette smoker.

1990 Fleer #101 Glen Rice Rookie Card

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $25

1990 Fleer #154 Clyde Drexler

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $25

1990 Fleer #9 Dennis Johnson

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $20

1990 Fleer #39 Adriane Dantley

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $20

1990 Fleer #67 Mitch Richmond

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $20

1990 Fleer #194 Bernard King

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $20

1990 Fleer Basketball Cards In Review

As you can see, even the most valuable cards in this set don't pack a great deal of value these days.

Like many sports cards of this era, they were heavily produced in such large quantities that the market is still flooded with them.

Overall, the checklist contained 198 cards in total that, if nothing else, captured some of the greatest players of all-time with exciting imagery.

There were Fleer All-Star sticker card inserts that can be worth more than the base cards on this list assuming the sticker is still in tact and is graded in top condition.

In summary, if you're looking for a basketball card set with a lot of star power that you can acquire cheaply then this is one for you.

The most expensive basketball cards of November-December - Hobby: Collectible cards - Blogs

Hobby: Collectible cards

Blog

Hello everyone!

After a short break, the top most expensive basketball cards are back. Today we will capture 2 months - November and December.

In order for the cards of different periods to be presented in the top, I divided it into three parts: before the 90s, the 90s and the first half of the 00s and the last 10 years.

Let's go from new cards to old ones (most often this means an increase in cost).

So, the top 4 most expensive new cards.

4) In fourth place is a 1/1 LeBron James card from Flawless 2015-16 with the NBA logo. They paid $10,300 for it.

3) Next is newcomer Steph Curry from Topps Chrome 2009-10. The gold parallel in this collection has a circulation of 50 copies. Added to this is the almost perfect condition of the card, and the total price is $10,600.

2) And the same amount was paid for a Karl-Anthony Towns card with a mourning patch dedicated to Flip Saunders of Flawless 2015-16.

1) And in the first place, 2 league logos and two Golden State stars - the same Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. It's the same Flawless collection from last season. The price of this card is $12,000 without one dollar.

Further older cards. I will say in advance that all 4 are from the second half of the 90s

4-3) And open the top two cards of Michael Jordan with a jersey and an autograph. In the first case, the card in this form was inserted into the blocks of the Upper Deck 19 collection98-99 - a kind of parallel with the autograph with a circulation of 23 copies. $10,999 was paid for the card. And the second card in the collection of the previous season was a regular unnumbered jersey. For a re-release in 2013, an autograph was at stake in the Jordan collection. The resulting result was estimated at $15,000.

2) Next, another overlay of the top newcomer from Topps Chrome. This time it's Kobe Bryant and the 1995-96 collection. Plus, the card itself is in excellent condition. Price $17500.

1) And in the first place is the red parallel Metall Universe PMG by Michael Jordan with an edition of only 100 copies. In addition, the card number 23/100 is of additional interest. It should also be noted that the card was sent to the PSA for an authenticity check, but not for a condition assessment. The rating would not be high - edge damage (not rare for cards of this sub-series) is visible to the naked eye. As a result, the card was sold for $21453.

Well, the oldest top contains only the classic rookie cards of future NBA legends.

4) And this list opens with Wilt Chamberlain's map from the Fleer collection from 1961. The condition of the card is 9 points out of 10 possible, and the price is $32,211.

3-2) Next, two cards from rookie Michael Jordan. Moreover, for a rarer 9-point card from Star-85, they paid more ($40,207) than for a 10-point card from Fleer-86 ($35,999).

1) Well, absolutely out of competition is the triple card of Larry Bird, Julius Irving and Magic Johnson - the main newcomers of the 1979 season-80 from Topps. Three members of the Hall of Fame + the perfect condition of the card itself gave a total of $96423.

Thank you for your attention!
