I won't spend the money on his 1986 Fleer card, so this is a decision amongst millionaires right now.
Roger Clemens and Kirby Puckett best RC is their 1984 Fleer Update XRC. This is true for almost every player in the 80's with a card in an update or traded set. 1982 Topps Traded Cal Ripken, 1983 Topps Trade Darryl Strawberry, 1986 Topps Traded Barry Bonds, 1984 Topps Traded Dwight Gooden, etc... In baseball collecting there is no issue for this. Why is it such an issue is basketball?
