1986 Fleer Akeem Olajuwon #82

The rookie card from a set that defined an era, his name not yet Hakeem

The 1986 Fleer basketball set is the cornerstone of modern hardwood collecting, and card #82 captures Olajuwon early in his career with the Houston Rockets, where the dominant center anchored the franchise for years. The card lists him as 'Akeem,' the spelling he used before later adding the H to become Hakeem. This copy carries an SGC 7.5 grade, certification number 7540451, presenting as a solid mid-grade example of one of the set's most sought-after rookies.
