The Rookie Cards of the 2009 Inductees to the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame

September 11, 2009 by site_admin

As always, Hall of Fame induction time means that a few players will receive a temporary popularity bump within the collector community. This class of the 2009 Pro Basketball Hall of Fame will need no such increase as they are three of the more popular players of the last quarter century.

One inductee, Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls, is widely considered to be one of the greatest players of all time and is the biggest star the game ever saw. Another, John Stockton, holds a few key NBA career marks and was one of the best at his position of all time. And the last, David Robinson of the San Antonio Spurs, is one of the best big men of his time and was a true superstar and champion. Here are their rookie cards:

Year:

1986-87

Set:

Fleer

Quite possibly the most famous rookie basketball card of all time, this 1986-87 Michael Jordan Fleer Rookie card shouldn't have been a rookie at all. After a five year complete basketball card hiatus which included Jordan's first few years, Fleer released their 1986-86 basketball card set which included the "rookie" cards of those lost years. Jordan would go on to be known as one of the greatest players of all time. A multiple time NBA Champion, Jordan is in the Basketball Hall of Fame.

This 1988-89 Fleer John Stockton rookie card is the first card of the great Utah Jazz point guard. This card will be popular for years due to the fact that Stockton is the NBA's all time leader in assists and steals. The ten time All Star spent his entire career in a Utah Jazz uniform. He was a member of two Gold Medal winning USA Olympic teams (1992 Barcelona and 1996 Atlanta). Stockton was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009.
