Basketball · Philadelphia 76ers · Power forward
Barkley's key card is the 1986-87 Fleer #7 rookie, which is his only official rookie card; a PSA 10 has recently sold near $9,900, while raw copies trade far lower. The 1984-85 Star #202 is his first NBA card and a strong secondary target, and high-end value sits in 1/1 logoman patch autographs and 1997-98 Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems parallels. Most of the top-end comps are 2025-2026 sales, but several autograph and insert prices are thin.
Prices are recent sales we found on Oct 8, 2026 and refresh weekly while people are looking. Check the sold prices before you buy.
