1986-87 Fleer BGS 9 question

[willcvincent]

So I have slowly been working on doing the 1986-87 Fleer basketball set with BGS 9's. I came across this one and couldn't believe the price for a common. Is this a mistake in the listing or is the population on this one really low?

Well,I think it was an error - or he was really praying someone would bid on it. The card should be going for around $50.

Edit: He only has graded 1986-87 Fleet listed, and this is the only listing over $29.9. I'd say it was an over sight. Oddly enough, it is the only card that he offers "Free shipping" on though.

Population report doesn't seem particularly low for him. There are 30 BGS 9's out there. 28% of all of the Moore card that were graded by BGS got a 9. 29% of all 1986-87 Fleer cards ever graded by BGS got a 9. So Moore's card grades right in line with the average for the set. Not sure if it was a mistake, or just a case of the seller asking too much, but either way I'd hold out for a cheaper copy.

Thanks guys. I figured as much, but wanted some expert advice since I jumped back into the hobby 4 years ago.

Here is a short story about me and 86/87 Fleer BK. When I was 7 or 8 my mom and went to a department store and I found the card aisle. For the first time I saw something other than baseball or football cards. I wanted the entire box, but my mom said I could only get one that day and we could come back next week and get the rest. We went back the next week and they were gone. Years later I was looking through my cards to find the cards from that one pack. I searched high and low and could only find 3 cards from that pack Best card from the 3 was a Moses Malone.
