About this card
The 1986-87 Fleer Sam Bowie is card #13 in Fleer's landmark 'Premier' issue - the first nationally-distributed NBA set since 1981-82 Topps and, for many collectors, the start of the modern era of basketball cards. Because of the multi-year gap, it is the recognized Rookie Card for Sam Bowie. He is pictured with the Portland Trail Blazers.
