1961 Fleer #57 Rudy LaRusso In Action PSA 8 – A Sharp Vintage Tribute to a Tough Two-Way Forward

Rudy LaRusso was one of the most dependable and rugged forwards of the early 1960s, known for his physical defense, rebounding prowess, and ability to contribute offensively when needed. A five-time All-Star with the Los Angeles Lakers, LaRusso played a key role alongside Elgin Baylor and Jerry West during a competitive era for the franchise. His gritty style of play and willingness to do the dirty work made him a fan favorite and a respected figure throughout the league.

This 1961 Fleer #57 Rudy LaRusso In Action card captures the Lakers’ enforcer in a dynamic, game-style pose—part of the highly regarded “In Action” subset that added motion and life to Fleer’s already iconic release. Graded PSA 8, this example boasts strong centering, clean edges, bold colors, and sharp corners, a high-grade representation from a set known for its condition sensitivity. With print flaws and edge chipping common across the 1961 issue, this card stands tall as a preserved piece of early NBA history.
