1961 Fleer #11 Walter Dukes PSA 8  – A Well-Centered, Towering Presence from the NBA’s Early Days

Walter Dukes may not be a household name today, but during the 1950s and early '60s, he stood tall—literally and figuratively—as one of the league’s most imposing centers. At 7 feet tall, Dukes was a dominant force on the glass and a defensive anchor, earning two All-Star selections during his career. Known for his shot-blocking ability and rebounding tenacity, he spent most of his NBA tenure with the Detroit Pistons, where he was a consistent interior presence in an era dominated by big men.

This 1961 Fleer #11 Walter Dukes card captures one of the few mainstream releases of his career, and this PSA 8 example is especially sharp for a condition-sensitive set. The 1961 Fleer series, beloved for its bold design and Hall of Fame-heavy checklist, is notorious for centering issues and chipping—making high-grade copies increasingly tough to find. This card features excellent centering, rich color, clean edges, and minimal surface wear, offering strong eye appeal in a classic format.
