SUPER RARE 36 1996 FLEER USA BASKETBALL FACTORY SEALED HOBBY PACKS 3D CARDS!

Description: HI! PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY! (It will take you less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds.) First things first. NO DISCOUNT. Ever. I do not offer discounts on any of my Buy It Now listings for the past 22 years. ALL MY PRICES ARE FAIR. Because they have to be. This is NOT my hobby. THIS IS HOW I TRY TO EARN A LIVING FOR THE PAST 27 YEARS, INCLUDING THE LAST 22 YEARS ON EBAY. That means I have to sell my items in a timely manner. Otherwise, my wife will say something like this: "Hey, Jerry, when are you going to make a deposit at the bank?" Fortunately that has not happened often in the past 27 years. This is a Buy It Now listing for 36 factory sealed HOBBY packs of the 1996 Fleer USA Basketball, which features the NBA stars who won the 1996 Olympic Gold Medal in basketball. This is the equivalent of TWO sealed boxes since there were 18 pack in each box. Each pack includes three cards, one of which is an amazing 3D card. In early 1997 I happened to be in a store that was one of the largest distributors of wholesale sports cards in New England. At the same time, a Fleer representative was in the place talking with the owner. As I passed by, I happened to mention that I was a regular customer there and that I had bought a lot of 1996 Fleer USA Basketball boxes. In fact, I had bought 20 cases of the product. The Fleer representative said, " Really. That is one of the rarest products we ever made." One of the reasons--actually the only reason I suspect--was that Michael Jordan wasn't in the set since he had not played in 1994 and was not planning to be on the Olympic basketball team in 1996. And he wasn't. I firmly believe that if Jordan was in this set, boxes today would be going for more than $4,000 a box--at least! And packs would probably run $200 each! That would be true even if they had quadrupled the production run! For more than 25 years, I have never sold any of these packs on eBay, although I just recently sold 12 sealed boxes to someone on eBay. In fact, I plan to leave each of my four children at least four sealed cases of the 1996 Fleer Basketball wax boxes. (There are 18 boxes in a case.) There are 52 cards in the base set. The only insert is a Heroes set--one every 18 packs. In each pack, there is a 3D card, along with two other cards. If you look at eBay or any other site, you will rarely see these either in box or pack form. THAT IS BECAUSE IT IS WICKED HARD TO FIND SINCE FLEER MADE SO LITTLE OF IT, KNOWING THEY COULD NOT PUT MICHAEL JORDAN IN THE SET.) Anyway, I digress. Loaded with Hall of Famers like Shaq, Stockton, Malone, Pippen, Miller, and the rest of the gold medal winners of the 1996 Olympics. Over the next year or so, I plan to sell only about 20 boxes on eBay. tHIS IS THE ONLY TIME i CAN SELL PACKS BECAUSE THESE ARE THE ONLY 36 SEALED PACKS I OWN.. As someone famously once said about real estate, "they ain't making any more of these." Grab these 36 packs while they're still around. The price is $268.88. Not a penny more. Not a penny less. The rules: 1) No discount. You either want it or you don't. If you want it, the price is $268.88. If you don't want it, you would be overpaying by $268.88. 2) Please add $18.80 for insured shipping if you live in the continental U.S. I also ship worldwide through Ebay's International Shipping Program. Ebay charges a fee for this service, so check Ebay for details. I have shipped to more than 25 countries. 3) Payment is due within three days of purchase. 4) Paypal preferred, but other forms of payment are fine, too. 5) I am proud of my feedback on Ebay, encompassing more than 7,100 separate transactions over the past 22 years. If you have a couple more minutes, please check my other listings. I specialize in rare but affordable collectibles and memorabilia with major focus on five things: sports cards, framed and unframed photos, Beanie Babies, Marilyn Monroe items (somebody has to do it!), and Pokemon cards and plush. 6) The most important rule of all--DON'T FORGET RULE NUMBER ONE! Thanks for reading this far. And if you have a question, keep it to yourself. (Just kidding!) Jerry P.S. When I was at the mall in 1997, I sold individual cards for an average of around $20 per pack. Kids--and adults--just loved the 3D cards and the Heroes inserts.
