1988 Fleer Sticker #7 Michael Jordan NBA Basketball Trading Card. An eye-catching early-career issue of the Chicago Bulls legend from Fleer's celebrated late 1980s run of basketball cards. Issued as the sticker companion to the 1988 Fleer basketball set, these colorful inserts were distributed in packs alongside the standard cards and featured a select group of the NBA's premier stars, with Jordan naturally standing as the most coveted name in the series. The card dates to an extraordinary period in Jordan's career, arriving immediately after his historic 1987-88 season, when he averaged 35.0 points per game, captured his first NBA Most Valuable Player Award, won Defensive Player of the Year, secured the league scoring title and earned both First Team All NBA and First Team All Defensive honors. That same year also produced some of the most enduring moments of Jordan's early career, including his legendary 1988 Slam Dunk Contest victory in Chicago, highlighted by the unforgettable free throw line dunk, and a 40 point performance that earned him NBA All Star Game MVP honors. Jordan would ultimately lead the Bulls to six NBA Championships, capture six Finals MVP Awards, five league MVP Awards and ten scoring titles, while becoming one of the most recognizable athletes and cultural figures in the world. Early Fleer stickers occupy a distinctive place within Jordan collecting, combining the nostalgia of the pack inserted sticker format with issues produced during the years before Chicago's championship dynasty began. With its classic 1980s Fleer styling, distinctive sticker format and connection to Jordan at the height of his emergence as basketball's greatest superstar, the 1988 Fleer Sticker #7 represents a highly desirable addition to any Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls, vintage basketball or advanced sports card collection.
